- **FA9202** is for polypropylene, which needs its own consumable.

## Grades and safety documents

The lists above are by material family. AMT’s compatible materials lists go down to individual grades, and the safety documents for PostPro Pure and FA326 are published too. You will find both on the [documents page](https://amtechnologies.com/resources/documents/). For a grade that is not listed, ask AMT or [send parts for a benchmark](https://benchmarking.amtechnologies.com/submit?utm_source=amtechnologies.com&utm_medium=community-page&utm_campaign=site-2026&utm_content=which-consumable-guide).
