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 perf ormance — 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.
