Storage & Handling
- MATERIAL HANDLING AND DRYING
Essentium TPU 58D-AS is a very hygroscopic thermoplastic and will rapidly absorb moisture from humid air. Keep the material in the vacuum sealed packaging until you are ready to print with it. TPU 58D-AS filament should always be fed to the printer in a dry container and stored in a dry cabinet. If the material does absorb more than 200ppm moisture, it should be dried in a low dew point (< -40˚C) oven or vacuum oven at 90 – 120˚C for 2 – 3 hours.
