Nanovia PLA Flax : Flax fiber reinforced

Starting at : 52,25 € ex. VAT/ kg

Nanovia PLA Flax is entirely bio sourced, biodegradable, and certified without endocrine disruptors. The non-abrasive flax fibres, sourced in the north of France, improve the material’s mechanical properties and reduce PLA‘s warping tendencies. By varying the temperature it’s possible to brown the fibres and alter the part’s colour.

Combining PLA’s ease of printing with flax fibers’ mechanical properties, Nanovia PLA Flax will allow you to create mechanical 3D prints with ease.

variation de couleur selon température d'impression

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.

Advantages

Easy to print
Biocourced and biodegradable
Certified endocrine disruptor free

Nanovia PLA Flax pellets for plastic injection

Nanovia PLA Flax is also available in pellet form for plastic extrusion and FGF 3D printing.

Application recommendations

Storage

Store in airtight container with desiccant, out of direct sunlight.
Dehydrate for 4h at 50°C prior to printing after prolonged exposure to humidity.

Post treatment

Standard PPE recommended (dust mask, gloves)

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.
