The 3D filament Kimya TPC-91A belongs to the family of copolyester thermoplastic elastomers. Thermoplastic copolyester (TPC) is produced by copolymerizing two types of monomers: an elastomer and a plastic. TPC offers chemical and impact resistance. It provides Shore hardness of 91 A. It can be used to produce flexible and elastic parts. The 3D filament Kimya TPC-91A 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:
