BASF Ultrafuse PC/ABS FR
BASF Ultrafuse PC/ABS FR Black is a filament composed of a V-0 flame retardant blend of Polycarbonate (PC) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), two of the most widely used thermoplastics for engineering and electrical applications. This premium material combines the excellent mechanical properties of PC with the relatively low printing temperature of ABS. The halogen-free flame retardant makes parts printed with Ultrafuse PC/ABS FR Black particularly resistant to tensile strength and impacts, as well as providing superior thermal resistance compared to ABS, meeting the requirements of the UL94 V-0 standard.
