PPJet (polypropylene) is the thermoplastic we encounter most often in everyday life. It is very often used by the food industry (packaging, cups, lids, etc.). The material is characterized by high toughness and can withstand higher temperatures than PETG or PLA material. PPJet is a very chemical resistant polymer. Has low density – so light it can float on the water.
PPJet (polypropylene)
– technical plastic of common use
– high chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, oils, salts, water, etc.
– one of the most used plastics in various industries, suitable for prototyping and property testing
– low density – so light it can float on the water
– highly tough and flexible material, has high layer adhesion, therefore is extremely impact resistant
– heat resistance (up to 100 °C)
– health harmlessness

PRINTING SETUP
Nozzle: 210 – 230 °C
Heatbed: 80 – 100 °C
▪ draft-free environment, closed chamber recommended
▪ fan speed: 100%
▪ for a better adhesion using the PP glue or printing on an office PP tape is recommended
▪ for the bigger object we recommend using function brim – 5 mm
▪ it’s also necessary to lower pressure under the extruder wheel
ADVANTAGES:
✅ heat resistance (up to 100 °C)
✅ flexible, strong and tough
✅ so light it can float on the water
DISADVANTAGES:
❌ closed chamber
❌ problem printing on printers with Bowden tube extrusion system
