Spectrum FlameGuard PLA filament 1.75mm 0.25kg

Introducing Spectrum FlameGuard PLA Filament

Introducing the new Spectrum FlameGuard PLA filament, made with the innovative Floreon® Therma-Tech PLA formula, winner of the 2024 Plastics Industry Association Bioplastics Innovation Award, designed for applications that require both durability and fire safety. FlameGuard PLA is a halogen-free flame retardant material that meets the highest V0 fire safety standards, making it the perfect choice for advanced applications such as electronics enclosures, automation components, furniture trim, and speaker enclosures.

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, while our filament promotes a sustainable approach, offering recyclability and reduced environmental impact. Compared to traditional FR ABS, FlameGuard PLA boasts up to seven times lower carbon footprint (PCF), typically 0.6 kgCO2e/kg for PLA-based material versus typical 3.8 kgCO2e/kg for FR ABS, while maintaining similar physical properties such as elastic modulus and tensile strength.

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