FormFutura - AquaSolve Natural Water Soluble PVA 2.85mm - 0.3kg

AquaSolve PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) is a water-soluble support material for complex multi-extrusion 3D printing. It exhibits an excellent thermal stability and can be printed at relatively low temperatures.

This makes AquaSolve PVA an ideal support material for PLA-based materials with good thermal and chemical adherence.

• Excellent (cold) water solubilityGood thermal stability, resulting in less risk on deterioration/crystalizing inside the nozzleMax thermal stability of
