Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

These savings are realized through circular activities that enable more efficient use of materials and less reliance on the raw materials market, where prices are often volatile. Reliance on Materials of Low Residual Value The environmental and economic impacts of a material can vary greatly. Industries often choose a material because they are economically advantageous, but this also means the material can have low residual value.

Food contact: Need for food contact compliant materials in household appliances. When a lower-performing pigment is used in a material that is processed at a high temperature, the results are not pretty… the material often turns black or degrades. The metal used for FFF dies depends on the polymer: unfilled materials can use softer brass dies, while fiber-reinforced materials need harder steel to prevent premature wear.
