Kimya HIPS-R Filament - Support material made from 100% recycled raw material
The Kimya HIPS-R 3D filament belongs to the family of polystyrene filaments (HIPS = High Impact Polystyrene). This high impact polystyrene is a thermoplastic made from recycled materials.
Highlights:
- High shock resistance
- Made from 100% recycled material
- Soluble in D-Limonene
Recycled HIPS filament for technical components
The Kimya HIPS-R 3D filament belongs to the family of polystyrene filaments (HIPS = High Impact Polystyrene). This high impact polystyrene is a thermoplastic formulated from recycled materials. It has high impact and heat resistance. The filament can be used to manufacture high-quality components with high resilience. It has a very good density that allows liquids to be trapped without leakage. In addition, HIPS-R has a property that sets it apart from all other filaments: its solubility in D-Limonene. Industrial users use HIPS for packaging or in the food industry.
Advantages
- Kimya HIPS-R is made from 100% industrial waste (post-industrial recycling). As a result, this filament contributes to the circular economy and promotes the sustainability of plastics.
- At the same time, HIPS-R is just as resilient and resilient as comparable HIPS filaments. High-impact polystyrene offers very good technical properties for functional components.
- HIPS-R (and other HIPS filaments) can be dissolved upon contact with D-Limonene. Therefore, the material is often used as a support material for ABS or ASA.
areas of application
Kimya HIPS-R filament is often used as a soluble support material or carrier material for ABS and ASA. As the primary print material, HIPS offers excellent properties for impact-resistant applications such as case covers, delivery assurance, and manufacturing aids.
