CARBON by Comfy Materials filaments are extruded from premium Eastman GN071 CoPolyester resin or REVODE110 Polylactic Acid Resin, which feed smoothly and constantly without clogging the nozzle or extruder while printing. Silver (Ag) protects the Material from excessive internal microbial growth. Eastman GN071 Copolyester is one of the easiest resins to extrude and thermoform. Eastman GN071 is best-in-class for its processing ease, energy efficiency, thermoformability, and versatility. It is BPA free, has effective barrier properties, and is not a material of concern. It is also an excellent alternative for Polystyrene (PS) and PVC materials.

Eastman GN071 is certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 51 for Food Equipment Materials and may be used in various food contact applications in accordance with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration Regulations. It has also been GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified by The GREENGUARD Certification Program and received a Platinum-level Material Health Certificate from the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute. The Material Health Certificate provides manufacturers with a trusted way to communicate their efforts to identify and replace chemicals of concern in their products.

REVODE110 is FDA listed and certified to 21 CFR 175.300 for Food Equipment Materials and may be used in various food contact applications in accordance with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration Regulations. REVODE110 has also been environmentally certified by BPI and bio-based by the Bioplastic Association of Japan.

The use of These high quality raw material allows CARBON by Comfy Materials to provide a filament that is certified food grade and food safe, with low odor, low warpage, high impact strength and good liquidity (flows smoothly).

CARBON Filament is Food Grade Tested by both TÜV SÜD and SGS with reference to 21 CFR 175.300 or 21 CFR 177.1630 of The U.S. Food & Drug Administration Code of Federal Regulations (FDA 21 CFR 175.300 & 21 CFR 177.1630). Report included in listing images.

Anti-Bacterial Silver (Ag) has been Independently Lab Verified to reduce the growth of bacteria by 99.9%. The addition of Silver (Ag) ensures that in a bacteria heavy environment the material will retain structure and internal sterility. Although the Anti-Viral properties of Silver (Ag) have been studied extensively, Silver (Ag) does not claim to stop the spread of pathogens. Silver (Ag) is lab tested, in compliance with FDA 21 CFR 177.1630 or FDA 21 CFR 175.300.

We suggest that you use a stainless steel nozzle and a stainless steel all-metal hot-end. Use a separate nozzle and hot end for Food Grade models. A second hot-end will keep your Food-Grade prints free from contaminants.

Depending on your slicing methods, your 3d Printing Machine, your finishing process, and your intended usage, the Food Safe Quality of your end product may change. Be sure to properly finish your models and use an appropriate sanitizer between uses of your end product. Printing solid models is advised. Just because a material is permitted to come into contact with food does not necessarily mean it is Food-Safe. Our Filament is Food Grade, and without modification is also Food Safe. Once the Filament is molded or extruded into a new shape, by the end user, the Food Safe Qualities need to be reassessed.

CARBON by Comfy Materials Filaments are perfectly compatible with most FDM 3D printers, that support 3rd party materials. These include: Makerbot, Zortrax, Quidi, Prusa i3 MK3, M3D, Robo 3D, Wanhao, Creality Ender 3, Monoprice, FlashForge and more.

Certified Food Grade & Food Contact Safe

Extruded from REVODE110 Polylactic Acid Resin or Eastman GN071 Copolyester Resin. Silver (Ag) protects the material from excessive internal microbial growth. CARBON Silver (Ag) Filament is Food Grade Tested by both TÜV SÜD and SGS with reference to The U.S. Food & Drug Administration Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR 175.300 or 21 CFR 177.1630).

Lab Tested

Most Filaments are not safe for contact with food. To be considered Food Grade the Material must meet certain chemical requirements, which are specified by the FDA Code of Federal Regulations. The Material should be Laboratory tested in accordance with FDA 21 CFR 175.300 or 21 CFR 177.1630. Filaments can be produced from Food Grade and Non-Food Grade Raw Materials. CARBON by Comfy Materials PLA+ and PETG are lab tested by both TÜV SÜD and SGS, in compliance with FDA 21 CFR 175.300 or 21 CFR 177.1630.
