Kimya Tough PLA-HI Red 1.75 mm 750 g

Kimya PLA-HI (Polylactide) is a 3D printing filament, which is a modified PLA. The material has four times the impact strength of standard PLA due to an additive in the manufacturing process. The filament is a lightweight and durable thermoplastic that is a high-quality alternative to other plastics traditionally used in 3D printing (standard PLA or ABS). PLA-HI combines the easy processing of PLA with the mechanical properties of ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadien-Styrene Copolymer). Kimya PLA-HI is an easy to print material. The small tolerances of the filament diameter prevent the nozzle from clogging during printing. A heated printing bed is not absolutely necessary. The material also scores well in terms of mechanical properties. The filament has a high dimensional stability and a high-quality, shimmering surface quality, which means that post-processing is not absolutely necessary for optically perfect results. PLA-HI is more impact resistant than ABS without complicating the printing process. Targeted formulation modifications additionally give the plastic a tensile modulus and elongation percentage comparable to ABS. Furthermore, the filament spools of this material consist of 100% used ink cartridges. The printing material itself is obtained from natural materials such as corn starch or cane sugar. The High-Impact PLA is best suited for the production of functional prototypes or spare parts, for model making, architectural models and most everyday use cases. Because the material is easy to print, it is very popular for many common prints.
