Tough and fatigue resistant
FPU 50 is an impact, abrasion, and fatigue resistant semi-rigid material that is a good choice for parts that must withstand repetitive stresses such as living hinges or friction fits. FPU 50 is mechanically comparable to polypropylene.

Example Applications
Snap Fit Bands
Snap fits require toughness and fatigue resistance to maintain their connection over time, in addition to isotropy, smooth finish, and ability to print fine features.
Mounts
Mounts, like this camera mount, require toughness and fatigue resistance to maintain their mechanical linkage, in addition to isotropy, smooth finish, and ability to print fine features.
3D Printed Parts in Production
Aptiv Qualifies Carbon for Stringent Seaworthy Parts
A maritime wiring dust cap, made with FPU 50, replaces a metal component in the assembly. FPU is lighter, cheaper, and easier to produce because it eliminates the multiple steps required by extrusion and plating.
