RS definition of RoHS Compliance:
- The product does not contain any of the restricted substances in concentrations and applications banned by the Directive,
- and for components, the product is capable of being worked on at the higher temperatures required by lead–free soldering
The restricted substances and maximum allowed concentrations in the homogenous material are, by weight:
| Substance | Concentration |
| Lead | 0.1% |
| Mercury | 0.1% |
| PBB (Polybrominated Biphenyls) | 0.1% |
| PBDE ( Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers) | 0.1% |
| Hexavalent Chromium | 0.1% |
| Cadmium | 0.01% |
| DEHP (Bis (2-Ethylhexl) phthalate) | 0.1% |
| BBP (Benzyl butyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
| DBP (Dibutyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
| DIBP (Diisobutyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
The supplier of the item listed below has informed RS Components that the product is "RoHS Compliant".
RS Components has taken all reasonable steps to confirm this statement. Information relates only to products sold on or after the date of this certificate.

Product Details
RS PRO 3D Printer Filament PLA, 1.75mm
This PLA (polylactic acid) 3D Printer Filament from our high-quality own brand RS PRO is the most popular 3D printing filament material and it is the best material for getting started with your 3D printer.
Benefits
- Good tensile strength and surface quality, easy to work with at high print speed
- User-friendly for both home and office environments
- PLA filament allows the creation of high-resolution parts
- Due to the low shrinkage factor, PLA will not deform after cooling
- Hardens quickly
- Minimal thermal tension
- Minimal deformation
- Acetone resistant
- Does not require a heated bed, however, if you have a heated bed the recommended temperature is ± 35-60˚C
- PLA is a biodegradable product obtained from plant-derived sugars
Features
- Filament Diameter: 1.75mm
- Melting temperature: 145-160°C
- Heat distortion temperature HDT B (0,45MPa): 56°C
- Compatible with any printer that uses 1.75mm filament
Applications
- Household tools
- Educational projects
- Show objects
- Prototyping
- Architectural models
Once you have purchased your filament, it is important to store it correctly to maintain its quality. Over time the plastic will absorb moisture from the air, creating small water bubbles in the filament. These bubbles when heated in the extruder nozzle quickly reach boiling point, spoiling the print. The use of desiccant dehumidifiers to absorb the moisture is highly recommended.
