FormFutura’s PLA Matting Agent is a high-quality, mineral-based masterbatch designed to give your PLA prints a premium matte surface finish. Supplied in convenient pellet form, it can be easily blended with PLA granulate to achieve a refined, non glossy appearance for more professional and visually appealing 3D printed parts.
Beyond improved aesthetics, our PLA Matting Agent also enhances the mechanical performance of your PLA prints. When added to your PLA formulation, it significantly increases stiffness and impact strength, resulting in stronger, more durable, and dimensionally stable printed components.
Ideal for both functional prototypes and consumer grade products, FormFutura’s PLA Matting Agent helps you achieve superior surface quality, improved mechanical properties, and an overall elevated look and feel in your PLA 3D printing applications.
Storage and handling
PLA Matting Agent is considered an inert and stable material under normal storage conditions and does not pose significant hazards. To maintain its quality and mechanical performance, proper storage practices are essential.
For best results, store the PLA Matting Agent in a tightly sealed container within a dry, cool, and well-ventilated environment. Exposure to direct sunlight or UV light should be avoided to preserve the material’s properties and ensure consistent processing performance over time.
By following these guidelines, manufacturers can safeguard the long-term stability of PLA Matting Agent and ensure optimal results during LFAM processing.
