Filament Spectrum SafeGuard PLA 1.75mm LIGHT GREY 1kg
- SafeGuard PLA is an antibacterial 3D printing material that provides protection against bacteria and mold. It is over 99.9% more hygienic than standard PLA, non-toxic, and durable. It is suitable for producing items that require high hygiene standards.
Surface protection with antibacterial technology
SafeGuard PLA is an advanced antibacterial 3D printing filament designed to protect surfaces from harmful microbes, viruses, biofilm, fouling, and mold. ISO 22196 tests conducted on 3D-printed specimens show that SafeGuard PLA is over 99.9% more hygienic than standard PLA. Tested against E. coli and Staphylococcus - two of the most common bacterial strains - these results confirm the effectiveness of SafeGuard PLA in preventing most related microorganisms from adhering to your 3D prints. This makes the material highly suitable for producing items that require a high level of hygiene.
One of the key advantages of SafeGuard PLA is its ever-lasting effectiveness. Unlike traditional copper or silver-based solutions, SafeGuard PLA does not lose its antibacterial properties over time. The product is 100% biocide-free, meaning it contains no chemical substances that could leach from the material and pose a risk. The technology behind SafeGuard PLA is completely safe, non-toxic, and prevents the migration of active substances, thereby reducing the risk of bacteria developing resistance to its effects.
SafeGuard PLA is ideal for producing everyday items, such as kitchen products and aquarium decorations, where it significantly reduces the growth of algae and biofilm. The responsibility for the use of SafeGuard PLA and its applications rests entirely with the user. To ensure the highest level of safety, 3D printed items must undergo separate testing, especially when used in environments with elevated hygiene risks.
Key features:
- Long-lasting effectiveness: Unlike copper or silver-based solutions, SafeGuard PLA retains its antibacterial properties over time.
- Biocide-free: SafeGuard PLA contains no biocides, making it safe to use and preventing the migration of active substances from the material.
- No migration: The technology behind SafeGuard PLA is fully integrated and does not cause any leaching of substances, preventing bacteria from developing resistance to the product’s effects.
- Versatile applications: Ideal for 3D printing a variety of items, such as aquarium decorations where it significantly reduces the growth of algae and biofilm, as well as other utility items that require protection against microorganisms and high hygiene standards.
