CREAMELT® rPET fifty is a filament made from 100% recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate). It consists of 50% industrial multilayer PET-G/PET and 50% ocean-bound PET waste from #tide. rPET fifty gives you the ability to design and print durable parts with great chemical and heat resistance made from recycled materials and is a sustainable alternative to virgin material. Its distinctive appearance is great for interior design objects such as lampshades or vases.

Since PET-A is a polycondensate and thus a hygroscopic material that absorbs a lot of moisture from the environment, pre-drying before printing and storage in a dry storage box during printing is strongly recommended. This is the only way to prevent bubble formation on the printed component and maximize print quality.
