Material Details

True Polypropylene Made Easy

Ultrafuse® PP GF30 pellets work smoothly with virtually all extruder systems, thanks to their micro pellet dimensions that allow easy and consistent feeding. Ideal for both desktop and industrial 3D printing, these easy-to-print pellets guarantee outstanding surface quality while preserving the inherent properties of homopolymer polypropylene.

With consistent extrusion flow and a high degree of filling, Ultrafuse® Pellets PP GF30 achieves detailed and homogeneous surface qualities without compromising speed or warpage, making it perfect for both beginners and professionals in prototyping or series production.

Benefits at a Glance

  • Excellent chemical resistance: Preserving the Inherent Properties of Homopolymer PP
  • High Stiffness: Reinforced with 30% Glass Fiber
  • Low density: PP has naturally a low density
  • Low moisture uptake: The wax-like base structure of PP polymers has natural water-repellency
  • Excellent for demanding applications: High heat resistance, protection from moisture absorption
  • Improved UV resistance: UV stabilizers ensure long service life of parts, even outdoors
