MOWIFLEX™ – water-soluble support material for 3D printing
After printing is complete, the support structures can be easily dissolved in water, which can be conveniently disposed to drain due to the biodegradable nature of MOWIFLEX™.
Mowiflex C 17 (3D 2000) is biodegradable in water according to ISO 14851 (biodegradation >90 % vs. cellulose withing 56 days).
Our product line for 3D Printing includes MOWIFLEX™ 3D 1000 and MOWIFLEX™ 3D 2000.
While the MOWIFLEX™ 3D 1000 can be used with PLA, PA and PVB in many applications, the MOWIFLEX™ 3D 2000 is for more demanding applications requiring better temperature resistance (up to 70°C in heated chamber), faster solubility and better adhesion to PLA, PA, PVB, TPU, PETG.
