Properties of PLActive from the plastic family PLA
PLA Matt is an environmentally friendly material that is easy to print and has a Matt surface. Slightly modified, the filament retains the typical properties of PLA, but makes it tougher and less brittle. Due to a low shrinkage factor, PLA does not deform after cooling.
FDA registered filament

Antibacterial action has been scientifically validated eliminating more than 99.99% of fungi, viruses, bacteria and a wide range of microorganisms
Scientifically proven effective against SARS-CoV-2 / Covid-19 with a high antiviral efficacy from 30 seconds and a viral burden reduction higher than 99% in one hour
Clinically tested in prosthesis for amputees with excellent results
Ideal for the manufacture of other medical applications where it’s dangerous to have bacterial contamination, such as postoperative prostheses, wound dressing and surgical equipment
ISO 10993 certified for skin contact
Antibacterial properties confirmed by two microbiology laboratories in Chile and the USA
Manufactured in the Netherlands according to ISO 9001/2015 certified manufacturing standards
PLActive has thermoforming characteristics that facilitate post-processing and final adjustments of the 3D-printed application
Compatible with AquaSolve for complex multi-extrusion 3D printing
It can be “hospital sterilized” by various methods (UCV, Ozone, EthOx, Bleach), but NOT with Dry or Wet Heat (autoclave) because this will ruin the PLA, not the additive. The additive remains stable until 990ºC
