Our Flame-Retardant 3D Printing Filament Is Here: DuraPro PC FR V0 (UL94 V0, EN 45545-2)
A train moves through a tunnel at high speed. Inside, every component must meet strict fire safety requirements.
Not just structurally. Also in terms of flame behavior.
This is one area where flame-retardant 3D printing filaments like DuraPro PC FR V0 is used.
What Is a Flame-Retardant Filament?
A flame-retardant filament is a 3D printing material designed to:
- Self-extinguish after flame exposure
- Prevent flame spread
- Avoid dripping burning material
These properties are essential for applications in:
- Railway systems that require strict fire protection standards like EN 45545-2
- Electrical and electronic components
- Industrial environments with fire safety regulations
DuraPro PC FR V0 is a polycarbonate compound filament with flame-retardant certification, developed for these requirements.
