Description
Extremely Tough: Regular PLA is a very brittle material, which greatly limits its range of applications. PolyMax Tough PLA was designed to change this. Featuring increased impact strength of up to 9 times that of regular PLA and 20% better than ABS, PolyMax Tough PLA is a sure winner when it comes to toughness. So if you are looking for a material that can withstand your mechanically demanding tasks, PolyMax Tough PLA is up to the challenge. 
Uncompromised Quality: The good mechanical strength of PolyMax Tough PLA is achieved with no compromise in printing quality. As PolyMax Tough PLA is also produced with Jam-Free technology you can be certain you will get high quality prints with excellent strength while still enjoying the ease of printing PLA.
ABS? No More: Still printing ABS while trying to endure the odour and potential health risk? With PolyMax Tough PLA you can get rid of that potentially hazardous ABS and still achieve the same structural strength with even more benefits such better printer compatibility, easier printing, less warping, no hazardous odours, and in many cases even better mechanical properties.

PLA
Overview
PLA is easy to print, at low cost. Non-toxic and Eco friendly. A perfect starting point for people new to 3D printing.
PLA is created from all-natural renewable resources, and under the correct conditions, is fully biodegradable. This material is typically used for prototypes or decorative prints; Due to the low temperatures and ease of use, features tend to print sharper and more detailed. Its non-toxic nature means that it can be printed for food and medical applications if done so from a sterile and sanitized environment.
However, PLA prints are prone to snapping and breaking under pressure, and become damaged and discolored from high temperatures and prolonged exposure to sunlight or water.
Used for: Design prototypes, Plastic Cups, Medical Implants, Food containers.
