DURABIO™

DURABIO™

DURABIO™ developed for 3D FFF/FDM printing is a transparent bio-based engineering material developed by Mitsubishi Chemical. DURABIO™ is a transparent polymer with a high transparency similar to PMMA but with a much better impact behavior and improved heat resistance. DURABIO™ beats the well-known inferior properties of PC in regards to scratch resistance, hardness and chemical resistance. That is why DURABIO™ closes the gap between PC and PMMA.

DURABIO™  features:

• Excellent optical and mechanical properties
• Superb UV-resistance
• Ductility, with strong impact resistance
• High heat resistance
• Scratch resistance
• Chemical inertness
• Biobased BPA free
• Easy to print

Packaging:

DURABIO™ is available in the original packaging of Mitsubishi Chemical.

Additional info:

DURABIO™ is particularly designed for applications requiring exceptional visual appearance with scratch and impact resistance as well as chemical inertness.


Storage:

In order to prevent moisture pick up and contamination, supplied packaging should be kept closed and undamaged. For the same reason, partially used bags should be sealed before re-storage. Allow the material that has been stored elsewhere to adapt to the temperature in the processing room while keeping the bag closed.
