When to choose

A good fit when…

  • you need high impact resistance and strength
  • semi-transparent protective elements
When not to

Choose something else when…

  • you need an easy-to-print, low-cost part – choose PETG

Note on data

The service temperature is being confirmed against the manufacturer datasheet – for your specific case, consult an engineer.
