Tokyo Ink Co. Unveils PP Super White 3D Printer Filament

Tokyo Ink Co., located in Kita-ku, Tokyo, proudly announces the launch of its latest 3D printer filament, PP Super White, which will be available for purchase starting August 3, 2026. This new filament is designed to provide exceptional whiteness and concealment properties, greatly enhancing the quality of 3D printed items.

Overview of PP Super White

The PP Super White filament is crafted from polypropylene (PP) and features a high concentration of white pigment that is evenly distributed. This ensures that it surpasses standard white filaments in terms of whiteness, reflectance, and opacity. One of its standout features is its ability to suppress internal transparency even in thin prints, yielding a consistent and uniform white appearance throughout the printed object.

Notably, this filament is not only suitable for general 3D printing but is also expected to meet the needs of optical applications and research and development. The demand for a material that can be utilized as a scintillation light reflector in 3D printing had surged, prompting the development of this innovative product.

Development Background

As part of its ongoing commitment to its customers, Tokyo Ink Co. recognized a growing need for materials that could be molded into various shapes while serving as efficient reflective substrates. Traditionally, reflective materials have been limited to sheets or paints, which posed design limitations. In response, the company's advanced plastic material design techniques enabled the creation of PP Super White, which combines high pigment concentration with superior dispersion properties. This results in not only striking whiteness and opacity but also reliable print quality.

Key Features of PP Super White

• - High Whiteness and Opaqueness: By incorporating a significant quantity of white pigment, the filament achieves remarkable whiteness and concealment capability compared to conventional white filaments.
• - Consistent Appearance: The uniform dispersion of pigments minimizes color variability, ensuring stable color tone and appearance across the printed item.
• - Stable Printing Performance: With reduced warping and deformation, this filament supports stable printing, accommodating continuous and large-scale printing processes.
• - Compatible with Common 3D Printers: The PP Super White filament is suitable for fused filament fabrication (FFF) style 3D printers, and is available in diameters of 1.65 to 1.75 mm, ensuring reliable supply and performance.
