Polymaker PolyMax-PLA

PolyMax · PLA filament for FFF

All materials

Overview

Impact-modified PLA filament with high ductility, so parts bend under load rather than shatter, while printing as easily as PLA on most FDM machines.

Characteristics

  • BiobasedMade mainly from renewable plant sources. Shown for PLA-based materials — PLA is produced from plant sugars such as corn or sugarcane.

Certifications

  • REACHComplies with the EU REACH regulation on chemicals — no substances of very high concern above the allowed limits.
  • RoHSFree of restricted hazardous substances such as lead, mercury and cadmium (EU RoHS directive) — needed for electrical and electronic products sold in the EU.

As stated by Polymaker — RoHS and REACH are Polymaker declarations covering its whole product range. Ask us for the certificate if you need it for an audit.
