Ultrafuse BVOH
Date / Revised: 11.11.2019 Version No.: 1.3
General information
Components
Butenediol vinyl alcohol copolymer based filament for Fused Filament Fabrication.
Product Description
Printing complex designs may only be possible with temporary support structures. Ultrafuse BVOH water-soluble
support filament has been designed to easily dissolve in water. The solubility is increasing with higher water
temperature. It offers great compatibility to a variety of materials: PLA, PRO1, ABS, ABS Fusion+, PA and PAHT
CF15. Store this monofilament in a sealed bag or container to prevent moisture uptake.
Delivery form and warehousing
Ultrafuse BVOH filament should be stored at 15 - 25°C in its originally sealed package in a clean and dry
environment. If the recommended storage conditions are observed the products will have a minimum shelf life
of 12 months.
Product safety
Recommended: Process materials in a well ventilated room, or use professional extraction systems. For further
and more detailed information please consult the corresponding material safety data sheets.
