The Kimya TPC-91A 3D filament belongs to the thermoplastic copolyester family: is an elastomer. TPC is an elastomer obtained by copolymerization of two types of monomers: an ester (a rigid segment) and an ether (a flexible segment). It offers chemical and impact resistance. It provides Shore hardness of 91 A. It can be used to produce flexible parts. The Kimya TPC-91A 3D filament can be used in industrial applications in sectors such as electronics, textiles, roofing, etc., and in decorative and leisure 3D printing applications. It offers the following properties:
Flexibility
Easy to print
Elongation > 500%
