PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Braskem (B3:
BRKM3, BRKM5 and BRKM6; NYSE: BAK; LATIBEX: XBRK) ("Company"),
the largest polyolefins producer in the Americas, as well as a
market leader and pioneer producer of biopolymers on an industrial
scale, announces today the launch of its new high visibility
polypropylene (PP) filaments (FL105PP), the latest additions to
Braskem's 3D product portfolio. Braskem's new high visibility PP
filaments are now available in neon yellow and neon pink, making
them ideal for safety and construction applications. Braskem is one
of the first companies to introduce neon colored PP filament for
safety and construction. These products build on the successful
roll-out of Braskem's traditional PP filaments including all the
same great material benefits such as lightweight, water and
chemical resistance, as well as impact resistance, but now all in a
highly visible color. In addition to these new high visibility
colors, Braskem also launched new polypropylene filaments (FL105PP)
in black and green.
"As one of the world's largest producers of polyolefins, we are
proud to announce this latest evolution of our 3D printing product
portfolio with new high visibility polypropylene (PP) filaments. If
you are a start-up, university, equipment manufacturer, converter,
compounder, or brand owner, Braskem has innovative solutions to fit
your 3D printing and additive manufacturing needs," commented
Fabio Lamon, Global Additive
Manufacturing Technology Manager, Braskem.
"What makes this extra special is when we partner with our
clients, we are able to deliver products that best address their
specific needs and specifications. After the successful launch of
our FL105PP 3D printing filament, clients began reaching out to see
if our PP filaments could be made available in brighter colors.
Working closely with our distribution partners, and with input from
our clients, we were able to deliver our high visibility 3D
printing product line in near record time," concluded Lamon.
Braskem filaments are designed with the end user in mind; they
are a great choice for making molds, jigs, and fixtures,
prototyping, testing performance improvements for light weighting,
optimizing geometries, and designing spare parts. Braskem 3D
printing filaments are available in both 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm
diameters to fit a wide range of printer applications.
