Unlike standard ABS, ABS-FR is formulated to help reduce flame propagation while maintaining excellent impact resistance, dimensional stability and reliable printability. This makes it well suited to demanding environments where both performance and safety requirements must be met.
Why Choose ABS-FR?
- UL 94 V-0 flame-retardant performance
- Excellent heat resistance and durability
- Strong impact resistance and toughness
- Reliable dimensional stability for engineering parts
- Professional finish suitable for industrial applications
Common Applications
- Electrical enclosures and housings
- Battery packs and battery housings
- Control panels and switchgear components
- Automotive electronics
- Industrial equipment and machine parts
- Engineering prototypes requiring flame resistance
Performance Benefits
ABS-FR combines the proven strength of ABS with enhanced fire safety properties. It offers excellent mechanical performance while helping to reduce flame propagation in safety-critical environments.
Printer Compatibility
ABS-FR performs best on enclosed FDM 3D printers with a heated bed and stable chamber temperatures. Enclosures help minimise warping and improve layer adhesion for consistent results.
Available Colours & Finishes
Available in a range of colours, ABS-FR provides a professional appearance while delivering the strength, reliability and flame-retardant performance required for advanced engineering projects.
