20% Peanut Shell-Filled ASA – Innovative Biobased Material for 3D FGF
By upcycling natural resources, we have developed 20% peanut shell-filled ASA, an eco-friendly biobased material tailored for 3D FGF (Fused Granular Fabrication) technology. Peanut shells have a fibrous yet fine structure and light brownish-yellow tones, providing the composite with lightweight, elasticity, and impact resistance. This maintains ASA’s UV and weathering durability while offering decorative and functional possibilities.
Why Peanut Shell-Filled ASA?
- Sustainability: Agricultural by-product peanut shells are valorized as a biobased filler, reducing the carbon footprint.
- Light and Elastic Mechanical Performance: The fibrous structure reinforces ASA matrix for impact resistance with mild flexibility.
- Light Brownish-Yellow & Aesthetic Appearance: Natural tones and fibrous texture create decorative, warm surfaces.
- Industrial Compatibility: Supplied in granule form for direct use in FGF; suitable for cost-effective, large-scale 3D printing.
