Description
Polymaker for Production is a product line designed for heavy 3D printing users.
We offer large spools, bulk pricing and high consistency batch to batch quality.
Matte PLA is a cost-effective PLA displaying the most important features to produce end products:
- Matte surface for a smooth high quality print finish
- Weather resistance, on par with ASA
- Chemical resistance to all main solvents
- Food safe filament as a first step to certify your final products
With all these features combined, Matte PLA is the ideal material for end use products which will be used in real world conditions: weather resistance, chemical resistance and the filament has already passed the food safety tests.
We tested the impact of accelerated weathering on the following mechanical properties:
- Tensile Strength
- Young's Modulus
- Charpy Impact Strength
Accelerated Weathering settings:
The fluorescent UV light exposure follows the standard ISO 4892.3
The type of UV light is UVA-340.
The irradiance is 0.76W/m2 at 340 nm.
The cycle is 102 min for UV only and 18 min for water spray.
The black panel temperature is 63± 3 °C
The total test time is 60days (720 cycles) equivalent to ~3+ years*
*BY MICOM LABORATORIES:
[Rule of thumb: acceleration factor was found to be: 21.5]
Reference standard: ISO 175:2010
Methods of test for the determination of the effects of immersion in liquid chemicals
- Immersion temperature: 23±2˚C
- Immersion period: 7 days
- Test the mechanical properties before and after immersion
- Resistance to the chemical: The mechanical properties* must maintain over 70% after 7 days immersion
*Tensile Strength, Young's Modulus and Charpy Impact Strength
Tested Liquid Chemicals:
- Water (pH=7) -> Result: RESISTANT
- Household cleaners (stain remover) (pH=11) -> Result: RESISTANT
- Household cleaners (sterilizer) (pH=4) -> Result: RESISTANT
- Vinegar food grade (pH=4) -> Result: RESISTANT
- Vinegar concentrate (pH=4) -> Result: RESISTANT
- 75% alcohol (pH=6) -> Result: RESISTANT
- Fertilizer nutrient solution (pH=6) -> Result: RESISTANT
