Materials producer Recreus which stands for “Recycle”, “Create” and “Use” has released a new range of PURIFIER filaments for FFF 3D printing. The announcement follows the recent release of its TPU flexible material.
With this specific release, the Spanish producer wants 3D printing users to play a small part in the fight that consists in reducing Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that are emitted into the atmosphere every day.
The new Purifier range of materials comprises two new 3D printing filaments: Filaflex Purifier & PLA Purifier.
Those popular filaments are known for their flexibility and softness (Filaflex) and their rigidity (PLA). They include an additive with an innovative compound that adsorbs and mineralizes Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s), turning them into mineral particles harmless to the environment and human beings.
The producer explains that 3D printed parts made with those filaments integrate a technology in gas mineralization. “Through this technology, the CO2, NOx and VOCs particles that adhere to the surface of the parts printed with Purifier filaments undergo a transformation. This transformation of harmful particles into harmless particles is achieved through the processes of catalysis and photocatalysis. This is how particles derived from greenhouse gases and harmful gases (CO2, NOx, and VOCs) are transformed into mineral particles that are harmless to the environment”, the company notes.
Filaflex Purifier is printed with the same printing parameters as Filaflex 82A and PLA Purifier with the same parameters as Recreus PLA. Both filaments are already available and for sale in 2 formats, 500 gr and 3 kg, Filaflex Purifier, and 750 gr and 3 kg, PLA Purifier. In addition, both are available in diameters of 1.75 and 2.85 mm and in their natural color, ‘mineral’.
