PLA Ingeo 850 Filament
Eolas Prints PLA Ingeo 850 is a high-impact PLA filament based on NatureWorks Ingeo 850 resin. It prints as easily as standard PLA but delivers significantly better mechanical performance — and after a simple annealing process, it reaches a heat deflection temperature of 85°C, making it a practical alternative to ABS for heat-resistant applications.
Key Properties
| Heat deflection temperature (annealed) | 85°C (after 15–20 min at 120°C) |
| Heat deflection temperature (unannealed) | ~55°C |
| Impact resistance (annealed) | ~15% greater than standard PLA |
| Density | 1.24 g/cm³ |
| Shrinkage (annealing) | ~1–2% — design accordingly |
| Food-contact-safe raw material | Yes — virgin pellets and masterbatches certified to EU food-contact standards (see note below) |
| Skin contact safe (raw material) | Yes |
| Toy safe (raw material) | Yes |
| Base resin | NatureWorks Ingeo 3D850 |
| Diameter tolerance | ±0.05 mm |
A Note on Food Contact
Our food-contact certification applies to the raw filament material — the virgin pellets and masterbatches we manufacture from — not to finished printed parts. 3D-printed surfaces contain microscopic gaps between layers that can harbour bacteria, and most printers use brass nozzles that may introduce trace metals into the print. For this reason, no 3D-printed object can be guaranteed food-safe by the filament alone. If you intend a part for food contact, print it with a stainless-steel nozzle and apply a food-safe sealant — and assess suitability for your specific use. This remains the responsibility of the maker.
Recommended Print Settings
| Nozzle temperature | 195–220°C |
| Bed temperature | 0–50°C |
| Print speed | 40–80 mm/s |
| Cooling fan | 80–100% after first layer |
| Enclosure | Not required |
| Diameter tolerance | ±0.05 mm |
Annealing Process
Place finished prints on a flat surface in an oven at 120°C for 15–20 minutes. This controlled crystallisation raises the heat deflection temperature to 85°C and increases impact resilience by ~15%. Allow to cool slowly inside the oven — rapid cooling can re-introduce stress. Parts shrink approximately 1–2% during annealing; compensate by designing slightly oversized.
Recommended Applications
- Functional prototypes requiring heat resistance
- End-use parts exposed to elevated temperatures
- Mechanical components and fixtures
- Consumer products requiring both strength and precision
- Heat-resistant parts that can withstand elevated service temperatures after annealing
Manufactured in Spain
Manufactured at Eolas Prints' facility in Cantabria, Spain, under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards. Available in 1.75mm and 2.85mm in Black, White, and Grey.
