20% Sunflower Meal-Filled ASA – Innovative Biobased Material for 3D FGF
By upcycling natural resources, we have developed 20% sunflower meal-filled ASA, an eco-friendly biobased material tailored for 3D FGF (Fused Granular Fabrication) technology. Sunflower meal has a light, fibrous structure and yellowish tones, providing the composite with decorative aesthetic, mild flexibility, and impact resistance. ASA’s UV and weather durability is maintained, making it ideal for decorative and functional applications.
Why Sunflower Meal-Filled ASA?
- Sustainability: Agricultural by-product sunflower meal is valorized as a biobased filler, reducing carbon footprint.
- Lightweight & Impact-Resistant: Fibrous structure reinforces ASA matrix, providing flexibility and durability.
- Yellowish & Aesthetic Surface: Natural color 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.
