Filament Spectrum FlameGuard PLA 1.75mm MIDNIGHT BLACK 1kg

Product detailed description

Introducing the new Spectrum FlameGuard PLA filament, made from the innovative Floreon® Therma-Tech PLA formula, winner of the Plastics Industry Association 2024 bioplastics innovation award, designed for applications requiring both durability and fire safety. FlameGuard PLA is a halogen-free, non-flammable material that meets the highest V0 fire safety standards, making it the perfect choice for advanced applications such as electronics enclosures, automation equipment components, furniture finishes and speaker covers.

FlameGuard PLA is an eco-friendly alternative to standard FR ABS, which contains halogens. Halogens limit the recyclability of the material, often leading to landfill waste, whereas our filament supports a sustainable approach, offering recyclability and a reduced environmental impact. Compared to traditional FR ABS, FlameGuard PLA boasts a product carbon footprint (PCF) up to seven times lower – typically 0.6 kgCO2e/kg for the PLA-based material versus typically 3.8 kgCO2e/kg for ABS FR, while maintaining similar physical properties such as elastic modulus and tensile strength.

FlameGuard PLA is an innovative material made from high bio-based content Floreon® Therma-Tech PLA, providing durability comparable to FR ABS while meeting V0 UL94 flame retardancy standards. It offers safety, environmental responsibility and high quality in a single solution.
