Compared to traditional PLA, Aliz PLA Basic improves impact resistance (toughening); High bonding strength (exceptional layer adhesion); Not easy to draw & stringing when printing; Increased service cycle life: The biodegradable cycle of PLA was delayed).

Availability:
Compared with traditional PLA, PLA+ of FDM 3D Printing Filaments has an improved fluidity, so its impact resistance performs very well. PLA+ is a modified PLA which is impact resistant, whose toughness and durability has been enhanced without affecting its excellent printing performance while pros of PLA are preserved. Thanks to its low warping and high accuracy, PLA+ possesses a smoother surface which allows it to be used in practical application where higher stiffness is needed.
 
Key Features
  • Alternatives to styrene-based materials.

    形状 Created with Sketch.
    Unlike styrene derivatives, which release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and require ventilated environments, PLA Basic is formulated with 100% bio-sourced polymers derived from corn starch or sugarcane. It eliminates health risks associated with styrene exposure (e.g., respiratory irritation) while maintaining comparable mechanical performance. This aligns with global sustainability initiatives like the EU’s Single-Use Plastics Directive, offering a carbon-neutral solution with 68% lower greenhouse gas emissions during production compared to petroleum-based alternatives.
  • Perfect printing surfaces.

    形状 Created with Sketch.
    PLA Basic integrates nano-level surface modifiers that reduce layer lines to <5μm roughness (vs. standard PLA’s 15-20μm), achieving near-injection-molded finishes. The proprietary blend minimizes "orange peel" texture and z-seam visibility through controlled crystallization. This is ideal for end-use consumer products (e.g., wearable devices) and visual prototypes requiring ready-to-paint surfaces without sanding. Printers with direct-drive extruders can further leverage its low-viscosity flow at 210°C to replicate glossy, UV-resistant surfaces akin to automotive-grade plastics.
  • Higher toughness and layer adhesion.

    形状 Created with Sketch.
    PLA Basic’s hybrid copolymer matrix boosts interlayer bonding strength by 200% (measured via ASTM D638 tensile tests), reaching 58MPa compared to standard PLA’s 19MPa. Impact resistance (ASTM D256) improves to 12 kJ/m² (vs. PLA’s 3 kJ/m²), enabling functional parts like snap-fit enclosures or robotic joint components to withstand cyclic loading. The modified polymer chain structure prevents delamination under stress, even in low-temperature environments (-10°C).
  • High stiffness.

    形状 Created with Sketch.
    High stiffness, good toughness, easy to color, heat resistant, and excellent impact strength and mechanical properties.
  • Not break even toughness is increased or bending is frequent.

    Upgraded tensile makes it not easy to break; Upgraded fusion allows it to be finer; Upgraded temperature ensures the quality more table; Upgraded materials further environmental friendliness.
PLA Basic VS Traditional PLA
PLA+ and PLA share the same environmentally friendly formulation, but PLA+ has optimized its layer adhesion and integrated strength, as well as more stain finishing.
Impact Resistance
Traditional PLA tends to be brittle, which limits its use in functional applications where toughness is needed. PLA Basic addresses this limitation with added flexibility and resilience, making it more suitable for parts that require toughness, such as mechanical components or items subject to frequent handling.
Ease of Printing
Both PLA Basic and traditional PLA share the same user-friendly printing characteristics, including low warping, good bed adhesion, and compatibility with most 3D printers. PLA Basic doesn't require any special adjustments to the printer settings, making it just as easy to work with as regular PLA.
Application Range
While regular PLA is often used for prototypes, decorative items, and low-impact applications, PLA Basic extends the use cases to include **functional parts** that require more toughness, such as tools, enclosures, or components for outdoor or mechanical use.
Applications of PLA Basic
____________________________
 
PLA Basic is an excellent choice for those who need the ease of printing that PLA offers but with the added benefit of improved impact resistance. Whether you’re a maker looking to create more functional parts or a professional prototyping tougher components, PLA Basic opens up a range of new possibilities without sacrificing the print quality and user-friendliness that standard PLA is known for.
