MaxFilament ABS Industrial filament 1,75 mm, natural, 1 kg

MaxFilament ABS Industrial (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) is a copolymer commonly used in the production of items every day. It is used in the manufacture of household appliances/RTVs, automotive components or medical accessories, among others. Due to its properties, it is one of the most widely used materials for rapid prototyping. It is characterized by high hardness and resistance to high temperatures - even up to 94°C.

ADVANTAGES OF MAX ABS INDUSTRIAL

High dimensional stability and repeatability of prints.

• Low processing shrinkage despite the absence of plasticizers and additives.
• Excellent mechanical parameters at 90°C.
• High impact strength even at -30°C.
• High stiffness and high yield strength: 30-40 MPa.
• Elongation at break: 4,5-7%.
• Higher resistance to cracking under bending load than other types of popular plastics.
• Good resistance to fatigue fracture and wear.
• After printing, it is perfectly amenable to all kinds of modifications, such as hole drilling, grinding, polishing, sandblasting, chemical smoothing.
• It is one of the few plastics that can be coated with metallic layers during electroplating.
• It can be repeatedly heated and cooled without loss of functionality.
• It is resistant to dilute acids, alkalis, concentrated hydrochloric and phosphoric acid, alcohols and animal, vegetable and mineral oils. However, it is subject to concentrated sulfuric and nitric acids. ABS is soluble in esters, ketones, acetone and ethylene chloride.

EXCELLENT ALTERNATIVE TO:

PLA, PLA PLUS, PET-G, HIPS

APPLICATION

Limited or prototype automotive parts, prototype parts or industrial equipment subjected to variable temperatures and stresses, housings and covers for consumer electronics/appliances, utility components, personalized sports or medical accessories, and components with complex geometries.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 3D PRINTING

• Nozzle temperature: 230-260°C
• Table temperature: 90-120°C (printing in a closed chamber is recommended)
• A heated chamber is not required, however, the ambient temperature of the working field in the range of 60-80°C improves the adhesion of individual layers which positively affects the mechanical and visual properties of the finished piece.
• In case of problems with the peeling of prints, it is recommended to use adhesives, brim and rafts.
• Supports: for complex models requiring support, it is recommended to use HIPS or PVA filament.
• Dry the filament at 60-70°C for about 4-6h. Limit the access of moisture from the air even during printing.
