After a long-term partnership with the research team of prof. Ing. Pavol Alexy, PhD. from the Slovak Technical University, we are proud to introduce a brand-new material that is like a dream in the plastic world – a fully biodegradable filament for 3D printing.

This filament is made of polylactic acid and polyhydroxy butyrate blend (PLA/PHB). The content of PHB improves the toughness, temperature resistance, and especially biodegradability. It perfectly fits in to principles of circular economy, it can be reused many times, therefore, you can reduce the waste and ones the lifetime ends, it can be recycled.

Features

• 100% made of polymers from renewable resources (bio-based)
• High strength, toughness, hardness
• Temperature resistance up to 110 °C  right after 3D printing, no need to anneal
• Easy 3D printing comparable with PLA
• Long-term durability of printed object
• Safe for food contact applications
• Objects may be washed in the dishwasher
• Barrier properties
• Natural silk look
• Polymer may be recycled many times with retention of the features
• 100% biodegradable in industrial compost and electric composters
• Decomposition in compost is about 3x faster than PLA
• No microplastics polluting environment are created during the biodegradation
• Decomposes only in a biologically active environment
• The byproducts from the decomposition process don’t cause the greenhouse effect
