Polymaker PolyFlex TPU-95A High Speed White 1.75 mm 1.000 g

The flow rate of flexible materials has always lagged far behind rigid materials which has been the limiting factor effecting the printing speed. TPU95-HF has a melt index of 9.3 (g/10min at 185°C) which puts it right in the PLA printing range. This allows for double the printing speed compared to other flexible filaments. TPU95-HF is designed specifically for high speed printing, combined with excellent UV resistance, PolyFlex TPU95-HF unlocks new applications for flexible materials in manufacturing. The increased melt index allows the material to have a low viscosity at low temperatures, therefore a higher pressure can be achieved in the hot end resulting in faster printing speeds. Contrarily to other TPUs on the market, TPU95-HF does not require a high temperature for high speed printing which results in better cooling, improved surface quality, steeper overhangs and finer details. PolyFlex TPU95-HF is available in black and white. Ultraviolet (UV) light is a damaging factor for plastics and long exposure changes the properties of the material often leading to brittle, weak, and discolored parts. All plastics which operate outdoors are therefore at risk which is usually mitigated by post processing parts with a protective coating. The color difference of PolyFlex™ TPU95-HF is imperceptible after being exposed to fluorescent UV after 72 hours under ISO 4892-2 weathering test standard. The PolyFlex family can be printed on glass, buildtak or similar products, PEI sheet or painters tape. Using Magigoo Pro Flex can improve the adhesion of PolyFlex™ TPU95-HF on the printing surface. Usually it is recommended to use direct drive printers to print TPU, however the high flow properties of PolyFlex TPU95-HF allows the material to achieve high printing speed even on indirect drive printer. TPU is susceptible to absorbing moisture from the air which can subsequently affect the quality and mechanical properties of the final prints. We recommend using PolyBox to prevent moisture absorption. If the filament has absorbed moisture it can be dried at 70°C for 12 hours in a convection oven. Note: In February 2022, Polymaker has started to convert all filaments to cardboard spools. This conversion will proceed piece by piece over a longer period of time. Both the manufacturer itself and we as a distributor will of course first sell off the old stock before we have the new spools available. The filament itself remains unchanged by this conversion, it is only a change in packaging, as well as a new EAN and SKU number.
