Fire Retardant
Fire Retardant filaments are designed to resist ignition and prevent the spread of flames, making them ideal for applications where safety is a concern. These materials are typically infused with flame retardant additives that help reduce the flammability of the printed parts.
Unique Features: Enhanced safety features with reduced flammability and the ability to self-extinguish, making it suitable for electrical housings, enclosures, and any parts near sources of heat or flame.
Ideal Use Case: Ideal for creating parts that require a higher level of fire safety, such as electrical enclosures, components for appliances, and safety equipment.
Additional Components: Depending on the specific filament composition, printing conditions may vary slightly from standard materials, with some requiring higher extruder temperatures. A heated bed can improve adhesion, but no special equipment is typically needed beyond what is used for PLA or ABS.
