The Kimya HIPS-R 3D filament belongs to the styrenic polymer family. This High Impact PolyStyrene (HIPS) is a thermoplastic formulated from recycled materials and which –despite being recycled– boasts good resistance to impact and heat. It is highly impermeable, enabling it to be used in container applications free of any leakage. HIPS-R has another property distinguishing it from all other filaments: its solubility in D-limonene. Indeed, it can be used as a supporting material. It is used in the manufacture of packaging and also household appliances. The Kimya HIPS-R 3D filament has the following properties:
- Good impact resistance
- 100% made from recycled materials
- Soluble in D-Limonene
- Complies with the REACH regulation and the RoHS directive
*Note: slight variations in color may occur between production batches due to the use of recycled material. This does not affect the technical properties of the product which are systematically checked by our quality team!
