HT-PLA
HT-PLA-GF
Yes, you can anneal BOTH for better Heat Stability performance, however only the GF version will gain significant HDT properties.
The ability to withstand high temperatures without deformation while NOT under a load.
Similar hygroscopic properties to generic PLA.
Similar to generic PLA, no material-modification for UV/weather resistance, we need further testing.
Very minimal, similar to generic PLA.
This depends on the 3D print and how sturdy it is. If you have thin walls they may be subject to warping due to the harsher environment.
Yes! This material prints great with generic PLA settings.
Polymaker™ HT-PLA is non-abrasive however Polymaker™ HT-PLA-GF has glass fibers so you will need a hardened nozzle to prevent wear and tear on your printer.
Yes, you can use a smaller nozzle, like 0.2mm nozzle.
HT-PLA you can print up to 300mm/s and HT-PLA-GF you can print up to 350mm/s.
Yes, all of the different color variations have the same heat resistance.
The resin matrix of HT-PLA contains only a small amount of non-biodegradable components. Therefore, we consider it to be a material with good biodegradability similar to polylactic acid.
HT-PLA is a kind of PLA-based multiphase composites, its main structure is PLA materials.
The layer adhesion is fairly low, not recommended for single wall prints.
Similar to standard PLA.
Yes you can, however if you have hard water with high mineral content, boiling your part can cause the minerals to form a white dust coating on the surface.
Yes.
Yes.

Polymaker™ prime materials naming convention is about keeping the naming convention simple.
Yes.
No, you can remove them immediately if needed.
