AquaTek™ X1 Advanced USM Universal Support Material

An advanced water-soluble support filament that was formulated specifically for printing complex parts. This material is compatible with the widest variety of model materials [PLA, ABS, NYLON, Carbon Fiber, Glass Fiber, and more!] and then it safely washes away in warm water so you don’t destroy your part removing the support.

Benefits of AquaTek™ X1 Advanced USM:

•  Readily soluble in warm water
• Eco-friendly and safe to dispose in house or office drains
• ideal support material for the widest array of materials, including many which are infamous for being difficult to support!
• Low moisture absorption while exposed to the air during printing, getting less tacky over time than similar support materials
• Compatible with PLA, ABS, ASA, PETG, Nylons, and flexible filaments like TPC, TPU, and COPE.

Recommended Support Removal Techniques:

Break away excess support material that’s easily accessible. This reduces dissolution time (more support material = a longer time to dissolve).

Submerge the part in warm water. Hot tap water is typically 38-49°C, which is more than adequate for dissolving AquaTek™ X1 Advanced USM. Please be safe with hot water!

Agitating and stirring the water reduces dissolution time further, either with mechanical agitation or a sonic cleaning bath system. Re-heat or replace the warm water as it cools off for as long as you still see support material un-dissolved.

Residue is ecologically safe and can be disposed of down a home or office drain. Rinse thoroughly with fresh, warm water.
