PLA FR – flame-retardant material for functional components

PLA FR combines the ease of processing of PLA with proven flame retardancy according to UL 94 V0. Ideal for applications where safety requirements must be taken into account as early as the development phase.

PLA FR in accordance with UL 94 V0

For applications with heightened safety requirements

With PLA FR, we are expanding our portfolio to include a material that was specifically developed for use in safety-critical environments.

Especially during the design and development phase, it is crucial to be able to realistically assess requirements such as flame behavior, component performance, and surface quality at an early stage.

Material samples allow you to test these properties directly on the component—providing a solid foundation for your further design work.

Frequently Asked Questions About PLA FR in 3D Printing

What does UL 94 V0 mean for my component?

UL 94 V0 describes the material's flame-retardant properties. It indicates rapid self-extinguishment after exposure to flame without burning droplets—a critical factor for applications with heightened safety requirements.

Is PLA-FR suitable for mass production?

Yes, the material is designed for industrial 3D printing as well as for production parts.

How does PLA FR perform in terms of surface finish and detail accuracy?

PLA FR offers a clean surface typical of PLA, with good detail resolution.
This makes the material particularly suitable for parts where visual appearance and fit are important in addition to functional requirements. You can evaluate these properties directly on the part using a material sample.

Is there a charge for the material sample?

We provide the material samples free of charge.

This allows you to evaluate PLA FR directly on the component and make an informed decision for your project.
