Description
‘P-TPO 835 flex’ belongs to the family of thermoplastic polyolefins (TPOs) and combines polypropylene (PP) with a non-crosslinked elastomer. The material offers excellent impact strength, flexibility, and chemical resistance to acids, bases, and ozone, along with a low density. It merges the well-known advantages of PP filaments with enhanced toughness and long-term durability.
Thanks to its non-water-attracting properties, P-TPO 835 flex is ready for printing immediately—no drying is required before printing. It can be processed with standard 3D printers (preferably direct-drive extruders), but as with any thermoplastic material, the printer must be adjusted and optimized for material feeding. P-TPO 835 flex offers excellent adhesion to P-surface 141.
Typical applications include functional components requiring elasticity and surface comfort, such as parts in medical engineering, automotive interiors (bumpers, dashboards, door panels, seating elements), or consumer goods like plugs, housings, toys, and shoe soles.
DiPrinted parts made with ‘P-TPO 835 flex’ are impact-resistant, lightweight, chemical- and water-resistant, dishwasher-safe, recyclable, and stable up to 100 °C.
In addition, the material is biologically safe, color-homogeneous, weldable with PP, and provides an appealing surface quality.
Recommended printing parameters:
Printing surface ‘P-surface 141’ (logo facing up), optionally fixed with ‘P-adhesive 220’
Fixing method Apply gentle pressure using the ‘P-roller 621’
Extruder temperature 200 – 240 °C
Print bed surface temperature (1. Schicht) 70 – 80 °C
Print bed surface temperature (during printing) 20 °C
Print bed surface temperature (removal of finished part) ca. 110 °C
Build chamber temperature: Not required
Support material ‘P-support 279’ for complex geometries
pre-treatment drying is not required
Storage instructions:
In order to guarantee consistent printing performance, P-TPO should be used and consumed as soon as possible after opening. It is recommended to store opened material at a temperature of 15 – 25°C and in a plastic bag to avoid dust contamination.
Disclaimer
The product is designed for extrusion-based 3D printing and is not designed and optimized for a specific application of a printed object. Not every object can necessarily be printed with ‘P-filament’. It is your sole responsibility to always check that all objects printed with ‘P-filament’ are suitable and safe for their intended use. This is particularly valid in view of the fact that the physical and mechanical properties and thus the dimensional stability of the objects are limited and the 3D printed parts and its properties may persist only for a limited period of time. In extrusion-based 3D printing, the material and manufacturing method are crucial to the performance of the printed object. A 3D printed object or part may appear identical to a commercially available analogue, but may behave differently for a variety of other reasons. PPprint GmbH assumes no liability for problems of this or similar nature.
It is also your sole responsibility to ensure that the printed object does not violate any laws or infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, such as patents, company or product trade dress, trade names, company names, logos, designs, utility models, or copyrights. In addition, ‘P-filament’ may not be used in civil engineering, medical or other areas subject to statutory regulations or with an increased risk potential. P-filament’ is absolutely not allowed to be used for the production of any kind of weapons.
‘P-filament’ was tested on several different 3D printer models. However, PPprint GmbH cannot guarantee compatibility with all available 3D printer models. The customer is solely responsible for ensuring that ‘P-filament’ is always installed, used, and stored according to our recommendations.
If a customer claims that the product is defective or faulty within the warranty period, but after an appropriate inspection by PPprint GmbH, the product is found to be non-defective or non-faulty, PPprint GmbH reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to invoice the customer for the costs and expenses incurred by PPprint GmbH in connection with such inspection. The amount of the costs shall be determined on the basis of the prices of PPprint GmbH valid at that time.
