The transparent flexible TPU consumables with a hardness of  87A are strong and durable; the printed product is softer than TPU-95A, but harder than the elastic printed product; the printed product has a certain degree of transparency.

High Resilience & Mechanical Strength

87A TPU Filament is a transparent, flexible, and elastic material with high resilience and mechanical strength (bending, tension, and compression), abrasion, and aging resistance. It is also very resistant to chemicals, water, oil, and solvents.

High Impact Resistance

It is also waterproof, cold and UV resistant (resistant to yellowing, able to withstand sun exposure). It are good for printing footwear. Many sports shoes, such as softball shoes, golf shoes, etc. It can use 87A TPU material for sole production, or to print the entire shoe model.

Widely Application

Shoe material Machinery Automobile Electronic appliances Conveying pipeline Sporting products

Printing Tips

1. Drying (55℃/>4H) before printing is recommended to achieve the best printing effect. It is recommended to use it with dry box cartridges when printing.
2. It is recommended to use a direct extruder two-wheel reduction extruder designed for flexibility, and eFlex materials cannot be printed with a remote extruder.
3. The nozzle may have impurities after printing for a long time. It is recommended to use it with the cleaning filament. If necessary, replace the nozzle and throat with a new one.
