Abstract

The present disclosure is drawn to food contact compliant three-dimensional printing kits and systems. In one example, a multi-fluid kit of food contact compliant agents for three-dimensional printing can include a food contact compliant fusing agent and a food contact compliant detailing agent. The fusing agent can include from about 70 wt % to about 96 wt % water, a food contact compliant carbon black dispersion in an amount of from about 3 wt % to about 10 wt % by solids weight of the carbon black dispersion, and food grade propylene glycol in an amount from about 1 wt % to about 15 wt %. The detailing agent can include from about 70 wt % to about 90 wt % water, food grade propylene glycol in an amount from about 10 wt % to about 25 wt %, and a food contact compliant chelating compound in an amount of from about 0.01 wt % to about 1 wt %.
