Characteristics
- BiobasedMade mainly from renewable plant sources. Shown for PLA-based materials — PLA is produced from plant sugars such as corn or sugarcane.
- Carbon fiberReinforced with carbon fiber for extra stiffness and a matte finish.
Certifications
- REACHComplies with the EU REACH regulation on chemicals — no substances of very high concern above the allowed limits.
- RoHSFree of restricted hazardous substances such as lead, mercury and cadmium (EU RoHS directive) — needed for electrical and electronic products sold in the EU.
As stated by Polymaker — RoHS and REACH are Polymaker declarations covering its whole product range. Ask us for the certificate if you need it for an audit.
