Ultimaker PP (polypropylene) is durable. It has high toughness, exceptional fatigue resistance, and low friction. It also has good chemical, temperature, and electrical resistance. PP is one of the most widely used plastics on the planet. From electrical components to living hinges, PP is the go-to material for prototyping and end-use products.
 
Ultimaker PP material properties make it popular with engineers and manufacturers worldwide. For example, the filament's chemical resistance makes it ideal for 3D printing bottles and containers as functional prototypes that can hold a liquid product.
Chemically resistant to a wide range of acids and bases, including industrial cleaning agents
Retains its form after torsion, bending, or flexing
High electrical resistance for good electrical insulation
Low density, resulting in lightweight parts
 
Properties
Choose Ultimaker PP filament and your 3D printed part will have some impressive properties:
