When you're designing 3D-printed products for outdoor use, durability isn't optional—it's essential. Sun exposure, temperature fluctuations, and environmental stress can destroy standard filaments in weeks. That's where TPU Flex Filament D60 UV Resistant comes in. This premium flexible material is engineered specifically for projects that face the elements.

Why UV Resistance Matters for Outdoor Projects

Traditional 3D printing materials break down rapidly when exposed to UV radiation. Colours fade, surfaces become brittle, and structural integrity fails. Whether you're printing outdoor fixtures, protective equipment, or weatherproof components, UV degradation is a silent killer.

TPU Flex Filament D60 UV Resistant solves this problem with built-in UV stabilisation that keeps your prints looking and performing like new, even after months of direct sunlight exposure. It's the difference between a project that lasts weeks and one that lasts years.

The Perfect Balance: Flexibility Meets Durability

With a Shore D60 hardness rating, this TPU filament strikes an ideal balance between flexibility and structural strength. It's flexible enough to absorb impact and stress without cracking, yet rigid enough to maintain dimensional accuracy and support loads.

This versatility makes it perfect for:

  1. Outdoor Protective Gear: Phone cases, equipment covers, and protective housings that need to withstand drops and environmental stress
  2. Garden & Landscaping Tools: Handles, connectors, and fixtures that remain flexible in temperature changes
  3. Marine Applications: Seals, gaskets, and waterproof components that resist salt spray and UV damage
  4. Automotive Parts: Flexible clips, seals, and protective covers for vehicles
  5. Outdoor Sporting Equipment: Grips, straps, and protective elements for gear used in harsh conditions

Superior Resistance to Environmental Factors

Beyond UV protection, this filament offers exceptional hydrolysis resistance—meaning it won't degrade when exposed to moisture, rain, or humidity. It maintains its flexibility even at low temperatures, so your prints won't become brittle during winter or in cold climates.

Manufactured in Cantabria, Northern Spain, this TPU filament also includes microbial resistance, protecting against mould and bacterial growth. For outdoor applications where moisture and organic matter accumulate, this is a game-changer.

Engineered for Consistent Performance

Precision matters. With a diameter tolerance of ±0.08mm, you get reliable, consistent extrusion every time. The filament prints reliably across a wide temperature range (195-240°C) and speeds (20-65 mm/s), giving you flexibility in your printing workflow.

It's compatible with all major FDM and FFF 3D printers—Prusa, Bambu Lab, Flashforge, and more—and works with nozzle sizes from 0.15mm to 1.2mm. Whether you're printing intricate details or large functional parts, this filament delivers.

Easy to Work With

Unlike some specialty filaments, TPU D60 UV Resistant requires minimal special handling. A dry box is recommended for optimal results, but you won't need exotic equipment or complicated calibration. We provide custom print profiles for Bambu Studio, Prusa Slicer, Idea Maker, and Ultimaker Cura to get you printing perfectly right out of the box.

Available in multiple colours and spool sizes (1kg to 20kg), it scales from hobbyist prototypes to industrial production runs.

Backed by Quality Standards

This isn't experimental material. TPU Flex Filament D60 UV Resistant is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified, with full technical documentation and REACH compliance statements. It's engineered for reliability and tested for real-world performance.

Ready to Build Something That Lasts?

Whether you're prototyping outdoor gear, manufacturing weatherproof components, or creating products that need to survive harsh environments, TPU Flex Filament D60 UV Resistant is your answer.
