PVA

Eaglefil’s PVA is quickly soluble in water, bonds well to plastics and prints easily. Therefore it is an excellent supporting material for dual extruder 3D printing. This polyvinyl alcohol-based filament is non toxic and biodegradable once dissolved in water. For applications other than supporting material, PVA is also available in colors and has high tensile strength.

PVA features:

  • High quality 3d printer filament that prints easy on desktop printers.
  • All of our materials are made from high quality raw materials and are produced in the United States.
  • Supplied as a 1KG spool, vacuum sealed with a desiccant in a resealable transparent bag, and shipped in a spool box
  • Permanent color fastness thanks to grade A colorants

Additional information

Recommended temperature for heated bed is ≥60°C. Do not exceed a printing temperature of 225˚C, because then PVA crystallizes quickly and it will no longer flow and/or dissolve in water. The speed at which the product dissolves in water is dependent on the volume of the printed object and the temperature of the water. PVA dissolves in cold water. Higher water temperature (up to 70˚C) will accelerate the dissolution.

PVA can be used on all common desktop FDM or FFF technology 3D printers.

Storage

Cool and dry (15-25˚C) and away from UV light. This enhances the shelf life significantly.
