BASF Ultrafuse® PP GF30

BASF Ultrafuse® PP GF30 is a polypropylene-based composite filament reinforced with a 30% addition of glass fiber. It is one of the most frequently selected materials in various industries, especially in the automotive sector. It is characterized by extremely high stiffness and resistance to heat, UV light, and chemicals.

This industrial-grade filament is incredibly lightweight and provides high dimensional accuracy to printed parts. It will work best when printing functional prototypes intended for demanding tests in unfavorable and humid environment. In addition, the filament is perfect for printing structural items as well as tools and fixtures.

BASF Ultrafuse PP GF30 has strong abrasive properties, therefore, a hardened steel nozzle with a diameter of 0.6 mm should be used when 3D printing.

Applications

  • Parts exposed to non-oxidizing acids, bases, fats, organic solvents
  • End-use parts in the automotive industry, such as heat-resistant covers working near the engine
  • Structural and semi-structural parts, such as frames, brackets, or shafts
  • Tools and assembly fixtures
  • Sporting equipment exposed to humidity and environmental factors

High heat resistance

Resistance to high temperatures is what makes BASF Ultrafuse PP GF30 stand out. It is therefore widely used in the automotive industry for parts working in harsh conditions.

UV resistance

Thanks to UV light resistance, BASF Ultrafuse PP GF30 is perfect for parts which will be used outside in an unfavorable environment, such as tools or sporting equipment.

Chemical resistance

The filament offers good resistance against the impact of chemicals, such as non-oxidizing acids and bases, fats, and most organic solvents. That's why parts and prototypes made out of PP GF30 can undergo demanding tests.
