Color range of PLA Premium and CPE and its RAL and Pantone equivalence
Materials

The theory of color is a group of basic rules in the mixture of colors to achieve the desired effect by combining pigmentsBy combining 4 basic pigments you can achieve all the colors of the chromatic range. This, which a priori seems very simple, is an art in the press and, led to 3D printing, is still more complex. After years of development in 3D printing technology FDM / FFF by leading manufacturers, such as Fillamentum, it has been possible to obtain a wide range of colors by optimizing the mixture of natural base pellets with specific pigments, even getting exactly the same color code in different productions.

Fillamentum is a leading manufacturer and consolidated in the world of 3D printing for its high quality of manufacture and its wide variety of materials and colors. In this last aspect, this manufacturer takes care of the tonality that it offers to the users, assuring the color code (RAL and Pantone) indicated for each reference of color. For example, the PLA "Traffic Red" has the color code RAL: 3020 and Pantone: P485, ensuring that all the coils manufactured will have exactly that tonality thanks to an exhaustive inspection, within which the tonality check is carried out. a high precision laser.

The vast majority of shades are available in PLA Premium, but there are some that only exist in CPE HG100. This material is a thermoplastic copolyester (thermoplastic chlorinated polyethylene, which is produced by chlorination of PET polyethylene). The CPE HG100 has a high impact resistance (no breakage), high hardness, tensile strength and thermal resistance, among many other qualities. Its mechanical properties are similar or even superior to ABS, especially in hardness and elongation at break, but with a printing facility similar to PLA.

In this way, any user of a 3D printer FFF / FDM can make their creations with the desired range of colors with the assurance that after some time you can acquire a coil with the exact same color tone, referenced with your RAL code and Pantone.
