SKU: pla-silk-silver
PLA Silk Silver
PLA Silk prints with the same ease as regular PLA but produces a shimmering, metallic surface finish. Layer lines are less visible and the result resembles brushed metal, making it popular for vases, figurines, and visible parts.

Premium quality from the raw material up
Made from Luminy® LX175 — world-class bioplastic from TotalEnergies Corbion
The quality of a filament is decided before it is ever extruded. That is why all our PLA filaments — PLA, PLA PRO and PLA Silk — are made exclusively from Luminy® LX175, a premium polymer from TotalEnergies Corbion, one of the world's leading producers of biobased PLA.
LX175 is an odour-free PLA grade with high purity and consistent viscosity. That means a stable melt during extrusion — which you notice as consistent diameter, reliable layer adhesion and prints of the same high quality, spool after spool.
The raw material Luminy® LX175 is produced by TotalEnergies Corbion

Lower CO₂ footprint than conventional plastic
From sugarcane to finished filament
1
Renewable farming
Sugarcane captures CO₂ from the atmosphere as it grows and can be harvested year after year — no crude oil needed.
2
Luminy® LX175 polymer
The sugar is fermented into lactic acid and polymerised into high-purity PLA pellets at TotalEnergies Corbion.
3
Flawless prints
The pellets are extruded into filament with consistent diameter and reliable quality — visible in every layer of your finished print.

Lower environmental impact — from farm to end of life
Unlike fossil plastics, LX175 begins its life cycle as growing sugarcane that captures CO₂ from the atmosphere. The raw material is renewable, GMO-free and responsibly farmed to the Bonsucro standard for sustainable agriculture. The result is up to 85 % lower carbon footprint than conventional, oil-based plastic.
The material is a better choice at the end of its life too: PLA made from Luminy® LX175 is industrially compostable per EN 13432, giving your prints a circular path back to nature instead of becoming persistent plastic waste.
