Literature review on the topic is found [[Chemical resistance of 3D printable polymers: literature review|here]].\n\n== Experimental ==\n\n=== List of chemicals ===\n\nFirst, the resistance of 3D printable materials at least to the following solvents, acids and solutions is tested:\n\n* Deionized H2O\n* Isopropanol\n* Acetone\n* Hydrochloric acid (HCl), 37%\n* Ammonia (NH3), aqueous solution 25%\n* Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), aqueous solution 30%\n* Nitric acid (HNO3)\n* Phosphoric acid (H3PO4)\n* Acetic acid, concentrated\n\nThese chemicals are common chemicals used in many laboratories and many semiconductor processing steps, such as in the cleaning of silicon wafers.\n\n=== Chemical processes ===\n\n* Resist strip\n* RCA1 and RCA2 wafer cleaning processes, both in RT and 80°C\n* Al etch\n* Si etch\n* HF dip\n* BHF dip\n* Aqua regia\n* Piranha\n\n=== Tested 3D printing filaments ===\n\nABS:\n\n* [https://www.lulzbot.com/store/filament/IC3D-ABS IC3D ABS], color: Orange, diameter: 2.85 mm\n\nASA:\n\n* [https://fillamentum.com/collections/asa-filament Fillamentum ASA], color: Traffic Black, diameter: 2.85 mm\n\nCo-polyester:\n\n* [https://www.lulzbot.com/store/filament/ngen Colorfabb nGen], color: Lulzbot green, diameter: 2.85 mm\n* [https://colorfabb.com/materials/co-polyesters/ngen Colorfabb nGen], color: Red, diameter: 2.85 mm\n* [https://www.lulzbot.com/store/filament/inova-1800 Chroma Strand Labs Inova-1800], color: Blue, diameter: 2.85 mm\n\nFEP:\n\n* [https://www.3dogg.com/c-3811905/peek-pvdf-ectfe-filament/ 3Dogg.com FEP], color: Transparent, diameter: 1.75 mm.
