Description
The 3D filament Kimya PLA-R is a recycled and biodegradable polymer: this biosourced homopolymer can be obtained from corn starch. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a natural alternative to polyethylene. It is easy to print and is odorless. The 3D filament Kimya PLA-R can be used in industrial applications, notably packaging, and also in domestic applications: creation of everyday objects, toys, prototypes and for use in modeling. It offers the following properties:
- Easy to print
- Odorless
- Glossy finish
- Contains minimum 95% of recycled material (material that itself is obtained from 100% natural PLA-R)
- Eligible to the EN 13432 and EN 14995 standards (PLA-R Natural)
- Complies with the REACH regulation and the RoHS directive
*Note: slight variations in color may occur between production batches due to the use of recycled material. This does not affect the technical properties of the product which are systematically checked by our quality team!
