Wood Polymer Filaments

What can I do?

The 'Sulapac Flow 1.7' filament is a sustainable solution for 3D printing designed to address the global plastic waste problem. Composed of wood from industrial side streams and biodegradable biopolymers, this material offers outstanding functional properties and a unique, natural look and feel. It can be used as raw material in industrial-scale fused deposition modeling (FDM) to create a wide range of objects, including prototypes, furniture, molds, decorations, consumer electronics, and automotive parts. Notably, the Sulapac Flow 1.7 can replace traditional materials like PLA, ABS, and PP. For those seeking a ready-made filament, a premium filament made of Sulapac is available through trusted partners for both businesses and private customers.

The Sulapac Flow 1.7 boasts excellent functionality in 3D printing and thermoforming. With a renewable material content of 72% USDA Certified Biobased content, it is safe for both people and the environment. The material is industrially compostable according to BPI (ASTM D6400) standards, leaving no permanent microplastics behind. Its mechanical properties include tensile strength, modulus, and strain, making it suitable for various applications. When using Flow 1.7 filament, standard temperatures apply, and nozzle sizes typically used with PLA filament are recommended. Overall, Sulapac Flow 1.7 offers a sustainable alternative for creating robust and stable 3D-printed parts while minimizing environmental impact.
