CARBON Brand PLA+ filaments are extruded from premium REVODE110 polylactic acid resin, which feeds smoothly and constantly without clogging the nozzle or extruder while printing. REVODE110 is especially designed for 3D printing. REVODE110 is one of the easiest resins to extrude and thermoform. REVODE110 is best-in-class for its processing ease, anti-aging performance, bioavailability, thermoformability, and versatility. It is derived from natural renewable plant resources. REVODE110 is BPA-Free. It is an excellent low-carbon alternative for most traditional petroleum-based resins and synthetic plastics.
REVODE110 has a low carbon footprint, which reduces greenhouse emissions. Because it is naturally derived from renewable plant resources, REVODE110 is incinerable, recyclable, and does not cause harm to the environment. This allows the user to reduce white pollution. REVODE110 is certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 51 for Food Equipment Materials and may be used in various food contact applications in accordance with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration Regulations. REVODE110 has also been environmentally certified by BPI and bio-based by the Bioplastic Association of Japan.
The use of this high quality renewable raw material allows CARBON Brand to provide a filament that is certified food grade and food safe, with low odor, low warpage, high impact strength and good liquidity (flows smoothly). Our PLA+ filament is Verified Compatible with the Prusa Mini & MakerBot Method Printer with Labs Extruder, as well as other open materials FDM 3D printers.
【Lab Tested】– Most PLA Filaments are not safe for contact with food. To be considered Food Grade the Material must meet certain chemical requirements, which are specified by the FDA Code of Federal Regulations. The Material should be Laboratory tested in accordance with FDA 21 CFR 175.300. PLA+ filaments can be produced from Food Grade and Non-Food Grade Raw Materials. Carbon Brand PLA+ is lab certified by both TÜV SÜD and SGS, in compliance with FDA 21 CFR 175.300.
【Smooth Printing】 — REVODE110 is one of the easiest resins to extrude and thermoform with. Advanced CCD diameter measuring and self-adaptive control system in the manufacturing produces PLA+ filaments of 1.75 mm diameter, with dimensional accuracy of: +/- 0.02 mm. A stable dimensional accuracy ensures a smooth feeding experience.
【Mechanical Properties and Consistency】– Use REVODE Polyactic Acid Resin for both 3D Printing and Injection Molding. Carbon Brand PLA+ maintains Mechanical Consistency throughout your Project. Tensile strength (X-Y): 35 ± 1.1 (MPa), Deflection Temperature: @0.455 MPa (66 psi) D 648 61.5 °C (142.7 °F), Processing Melt Temperature: 190-220 °C.
【Professional Packaging & Compatibility】– Filament is vacuum packaged with desiccant to keep filament dry and free of dust and foreign particles. Carbon Brand PLA+ is perfectly compatible with most FDM 3D printers, that support 3rd party materials. These include: Makerbot, Zortrax, Quidi, Prusa i3 MK3, M3D, Robo 3D, Wanhao, Creality Ender 3, Monoprice, FlashForge and more.
【Printing Temp and Nozzle Recommendation】– Recommended Extrusion/Nozzle Temperature: 190°C – 220°C. We recommend replacing your brass nozzle with a stainless steel nozzle and using an all-metal hot end. Brass nozzles run the risk of containing lead, which can be dangerous for your health if consumed.
【Food Safe Suggestions】– We suggest that you use a stainless steel nozzle and a stainless steel all-metal hot-end. Use a separate nozzle and hot end for Food Grade models. A second hot-end will keep your Food-Grade prints free from contaminants.
【Food Safe Slicing and Model Finishing】– Depending on your slicing methods, your 3d Printing Machine, your finishing process, and your intended usage, the Food Safe Quality of your end product may change. Be sure to properly finish your models and use an appropriate sanitizer between uses of your end product. Printing solid models is advised.
【Difference Between Food Grade and Food Safe】– Food-Grade means that the material is fit for human consumption or permitted to come into contact with food. Food-Safe means that the Food-Grade material is also fit for purpose, for its intended use, and will not create a food-safety hazard. For example, it may be fit for purpose to use a Food-Grade container to hold a dry ingredient, but that same container may not be fit for purpose to be used to hold a hot liquid.
【Food Safe Considerations】– Just because a material is permitted to come into contact with food does not necessarily mean it is Food-Safe. Our Filament is Food Grade, and without modification is also Food Safe. Once the Filament is molded or extruded into a new shape, by the end user, the Food Safe Qualities need to be reassessed.
