Choosing ESTANE 3D TPU M95A
A firmer polyether TPU for HP MJF parts that need abrasion resistance, elastic recovery and a Shore 95A-class feel.
- Consider it for
- Protective wearables and orthotic components · Flexible automotive or consumer parts · Lattice structures requiring a firmer response
- Tradeoffs
- Lubrizol's printed-part results vary sharply between X and Z and between fresh and reclaimed powder. Typical values are not a purchasing specification, and skin tests do not qualify a finished medical device.
- Design and validation
- Define orientation, bed fill, powder generation and cycle count in the qualification build. Test the actual lattice or wall because the maker says lattice response varies with design.
- Finishing
- White powder can yellow as it is reclaimed over more cycles. Confirm the accepted colour range and any separate coating or cleaning step without assuming that appearance changes leave flexible performance untouched.
- Before choosing
- Does the part need the firmer M95A response or the softer M88A grade? Will through-build loading or reclaimed-powder colour variation control acceptance?

Lubrizol ESTANE 3D TPU M95A — frequently asked
What is Lubrizol ESTANE 3D TPU M95A used for?
A firmer polyether TPU for HP MJF parts that need abrasion resistance, elastic recovery and a Shore 95A-class feel. Consider it for protective wearables and orthotic components, flexible automotive or consumer parts and lattice structures requiring a firmer response. Lubrizol's printed-part results vary sharply between X and Z and between fresh and reclaimed powder. Typical values are not a purchasing specification, and skin tests do not qualify a finished medical device.
What should I validate before using Lubrizol ESTANE 3D TPU M95A?
Define orientation, bed fill, powder generation and cycle count in the qualification build. Test the actual lattice or wall because the maker says lattice response varies with design. Does the part need the firmer M95A response or the softer M88A grade? Will through-build loading or reclaimed-powder colour variation control acceptance?
How can Lubrizol ESTANE 3D TPU M95A be finished?
White powder can yellow as it is reclaimed over more cycles. Confirm the accepted colour range and any separate coating or cleaning step without assuming that appearance changes leave flexible performance untouched.
