SafeGuard PLA is an advanced antibacterial 3D printing filament designed to protect surfaces from harmful microbes, viruses, biofilms, dirt, and mould. ISO 22196 tests conducted on 3D printed samples 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 SafeGuard PLA’s effectiveness in preventing most related microorganisms from adhering to 3D prints. This makes the material highly suitable for the production of items that require a high level of hygiene.
One of the key advantages of SafeGuard PLA is its 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 chemicals 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 algae and biofilm growth. Responsibility for the use of SafeGuard PLA and its applications lies entirely with the user. To ensure the highest level of safety, 3D-printed items should be separately tested, especially when used in environments with high hygiene risks.
Key features:
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 causes no leaching of substances, preventing bacteria from developing resistance to the product's effects.
Versatile applications: Ideal for 3D printing various items, such as aquarium decorations, where it significantly reduces algae and biofilm growth, as well as other common household items requiring protection from microorganisms and high hygiene standards.
