Application recommendations
Storage
- Store Nanovia PLA EF in a dry and dark location, if possible with a desiccant.
- In order to guarantee good printing conditions dehydrate Nanovia PLA EF at 50 °C for 4 hours or longer, when the spools has been exposed to moisture for an extended period.
Printing
Nanovia PLA EF filament can be used on all commercially available 3D printers.
- Extrusion temperature : between 190 and 210 °C
- Heated bed temperature : between 50 and 70 °C
Post treatment
- For an outdoor usage, we recommend that you paint your print or submit them to an anti UV treatment, such as our Nanovia smoothing solution. However, due to PLA’s relatively low temperature resistance, pieces in direct sunlight should be avoided.
Health and safety
Post treatment
- We recommend wearing standard safety equipment during the post treatment of your prints made with Nanovia PLA EF.
Endocrine disruptor test
1 Method OEDT – SERPBIO Laboratory. Sample : NANOVIA 3D filament PLA EF.
Study: Measuring the activity of the human estrogenic receptors expressed in S. cerevisiae (SW303.1B).
Every measurement is reproduced 3 times independently with the different contents of the tested sample.
Results: The obtained data shows that the tested product does not influence the measured activity.
Note on the ratio of circulating plasmic œstradiol: With menopaused women / with men: * [4×10-11M – 2×10-10M] with pre menopaused women (excluding ovulation): [1×10-10M – 5×10-10M] / with women (ovulation): [2×10 -9m] * a value is considered critical when it exceeds [2×10-11M].
CONCLUSION: The tested material can be considered absent of endocrine disruptors.
