Trade name: Luminy LX175 Use of the product: PLA homopolymer suitable for film extrusion, thermoforming, or fiber spinning. Description: PLA is a biobased polymer derived from natural resources and offers a significant reduction in carbon footprint compared to oil-based plastics. Compared to standard PLA, these PLA homopolymers have higher melting points and an increased rate […]
What is ASA Filament? ASA filament (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) is an amorphous, synthetic thermoplastic that works best in material extrusion printing. Since it’s a high-impact material, you can produce functional parts for automotive applications, electronics, tooling, and more. ASA filament has high weather and UV resistance, making it great for outdoor applications. Even though this […]
PETG Data Sheet, Description & Applications Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol, known as PETG or PET-G, is a thermoplastic polyester that delivers significant durability, chemical resistance, and formability for manufacturing. PETG is an adaptation of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), where the ‘G’ stands for Glycol. In addition, it is added at a molecular level to offer different chemical […]
What is PLA? PLA or Polylactic Acid is a range of unique bio-plastics. It is both bio-based and biodegradable. Polylactic Acid, commonly known as PLA, is one of the most popular materials used in desktop 3D printing. It is the default filament of choice for most extrusion-based 3D printers. It can be printed at a […]
