Polyolefins producer launches PP grades for 3D printing
Braskem (São Paulo / Brazil; www.braskem.com) is launching a portfolio of polyolefin-based filament, powder and pellets for additive manufacturing. The new products include two grades of polypropylene filament – “FL100PP” and “FL105PP” – for fused filament fabrication (FFF) that are available through US thermoplastic resins distributor M.

In 2019, Braskem announced a partnership to develop PP powder for selective laser sintering (SLS) with Advanced Laser Materials (ALM, Temple, Texas / USA; www.alm-llc.com). The two companies have now released a first-generation PP powder that will be co-marketed in ALM’s portfolio.
Braskem has also partnered with Titan Robotics (Colorado Springs, Colorado / USA; www.titan3drobotics.com) on a commercially available PP grade for the “Atlastm” pellet extrusion system. Braskem’s PP for pellet extrusion will be available this summer, with Titan Robotics being an authorised distributor.
The Brazil-based company recently invested in a new 3D printing lab in the US. It is a part of an expansion of its “Innovation & Technology Center” in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
