Recreus is introducing Filaflex SEBS, a new rubber-polyolefin 3D printing filament that combines flexibility and durability with other properties such as insulation, and waterproofness, as well as high chemical, thermal and UV resistance. The new filament is available in 2 colors (natural and black) in two different size spools sizes (600 gr. and 2.5 Kg) and in both 1.75mm and 2.85mm diameters. It is reported by the company to be easy to print on Bowden machines with easy support removal.
The material also shows a high-quality final finish of the part and a wide range of uses and applications in industrial fields. These include the manufacturing of flexible seals, insulating elements, marine uses and other demanding environments.
Filaflex SEBS filament has a 90A Shore hardness and, according to Recreus it resists autoclave cycles, for parts that require sterilization, and it is also electrically insulating. Chemical resistance capabilities include resistance to oil, fuel, solvents and salt water.
Filaflex SEBS is intended as a technical filament for industry and an alternative to PVC. It is ideal for parts that need to absorb vibrations and/or retain their elastic properties even when exposed to high temperatures. It is also ideal for printing outdoor parts exposed to the elements, such as for example footwear, rubber goods and toys, industrial items (belts and straps, anti-vibration mounts, protectors, bottles and containers, anti-slip systems, glass encapsulation), sporting goods (such as masks, watertight seals or fins for diving and pole grips for skiing, pedals) accessories for car interiors (holders, soft-touch finishes, waterproof seals, protectors, floor mats, etc.). More possible applications highlighted by Recreus and its customers include protectors, grips or linings for control units, mobile devices, ice cube trays, caps, decanters, and more.
