PVB

PVB (Polyvinyl butyral) is known for its excellent adhesion, transparency, and flexibility. It offers superior layer bonding, reducing the likelihood of warping or deformation during printing. It offers a smooth finish and can be post-processed with alcohol for a glossy appearance. Its flexibility and strength make it ideal for creating durable, impact-resistant objects. Common use-cases include protective gear, eyewear, and automotive parts. It can be used for applications requiring both aesthetic appeal and functional performance.
