Engineer with Confidence. Meet Safety Standards with Flame Retardant ABS Filament.
When your application can't compromise on safety, you need a material that provides a critical line of defense against fire. Our Flame Retardant ABS Filament is specially formulated to resist ignition and self-extinguish, making it the ideal choice for manufacturing components where fire safety is paramount. Don't just print a part—print a safer solution.
Why Choose Our Flame Retardant ABS?
· Enhanced Fire Safety
The material is designed to inhibit flame spread and extinguish itself once the ignition source is removed, significantly reducing fire risk in your applications.
· Industrial-Grade Performance
Retains the excellent mechanical strength, durability, and heat resistance of high-quality ABS, ensuring your safety-critical parts are also robust and long-lasting.
· Reliable, Bubble-Free Printing
Manufactured to be 100% bubble-free, guaranteeing consistent diameter, smooth extrusion, and reliable prints without unexpected failures caused by voids.
· Enables Compliant Designs
Allows for the rapid prototyping and low-volume production of parts that need to meet specific flame, smoke, and toxicity requirements for various industries.

Ideal Applications for Flame Retardant ABS
This filament is critical for components where fire resistance is a key design requirement:
· Electronics Enclosures: Housings for power supplies, chargers, control units, and internal server components.
· Automotive Interiors: Non-structural parts within the cabin and engine bay where specific flame retardancy is needed.
· Electrical Components: Junction box covers, cable management ducts, and sensor holders.
· Prototype Compliance Testing: Creating parts for initial safety and standards certification processes.
Optimal Printing Guidelines
To achieve the best results with this engineering-grade material, we recommend:
· Use an Enclosed Printer: An enclosure is highly recommended to maintain a stable, high-temperature environment, drastically reducing warping and improving layer adhesion for large ABS prints.
· Ensure Strong Bed Adhesion: Use a heated bed (100-120°C) with a proven adhesive such as ABS slurry, PVAc glue (e.g., Dimafix), or a PEI spring steel sheet.
· Ventilate Your Printing Area: As with all ABS filaments, printing in a well-ventilated space or using an air filtration system is advised to manage fumes.
· Keep Filament Dry: Store in a dry place and consider drying before printing (70-80°C for 2-4 hours) for optimal performance, especially in humid environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the flame retardancy standard for this material (e.g., UL94)?
A: This filament is formulated to achieve a UL94 V-0 rating, which is a widely recognized standard for flammability of plastic materials. This indicates its high ability to self-extinguish within seconds in a vertical burn test. Please contact us for specific certification details.
Q: Is it safe to print this material indoors?
A: While the printed part is flame retardant, the printing process itself for ABS typically produces fumes that should not be inhaled. We strongly recommend printing in a well-ventilated area or using a printer enclosure with an air filtration system to capture particulates and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Q: Why is the net weight 0.8kg instead of 1kg?
A> The specialized additives used to achieve the flame retardant properties can increase the material's density. To maintain the standard ~300+ meter length and ensure optimal performance, we supply it in a 0.8kg spool. You are still receiving a full length of filament for your projects.
