Alter Nanovia PLA Flax’s colour by changing the extrusion temperature of your printer.
This biosourced composite 3D filament, certified endocrine disruptor free, can be browned by varying the printing temperature up to 260 °C.
Nanovia’s PLA Flax’s fibers are harvested and transformed in France, specially selected for additive manufactoring. The organic look of this filament makes it ideal for decorative objects and toys.
Nanovia PLA Flax is also availble in pellet form for injection molding and 3D pellet printing.
Advantages
- Easy to print
- Biocourced and biodegradable
- Certified endocrine disruptor free

Application recommendations
Storage
- Store Nanovia PLA Flax in a dry and dark location, if possible with a desiccant.
- In order to guarantee good printing conditions dehydrate Nanovia PLA Flax at 50 °C for 4 hours or longer, when the spools has been exposed to moisture for an extended period.
Printing
- Extrusion temperature : between 200 and 230 °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.
Health and safety
Printing
- We recommend printing Nanovia PLA Flax in a room equipped with air extraction or by using appropriate breathing equipment.
Post treatment
- We recommend wearing standard safety equipment during the post treatment of your prints made with Nanovia PLA Flax.
Endocrine disruptor test:
1 Method OEDT – SERPBIO Laboratory. Sample : NANOVIA 3D filament PLA Flax.
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.
