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.
Avantages:
- 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 240°C
- Heated bed temperature : between 20 and 50°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.
Packaging
Spools are packed in individual boxes, sous-vide with desiccant. Spools are equipped with both a material traciblity and a production series number.
