Glass-filled Polypropylene Filament

GFPP / PP-GF

B
Also known as:GFPPPP-GF
Family:PP

Why Use Glass-filled Polypropylene?

  • Very tough, durable, all-weather, extremely lightweight
  • Industrial-relevant material properties

Things to Consider

  • Even harder to print than PP; peels/curls more aggressively

Safety & Ventilation

  • Print Glass-filled Polypropylene in a well ventilated area. Higher-temperature materials like this can release fumes and fine particles while printing. An enclosure improves print quality and helps contain fumes, but it is not a substitute for fresh air, so vent the enclosure or run an air filter and avoid an unventilated occupied room.
