Eco auxiliaries

Choose your degradation-support route

Select the product according to the stage of the degradation workflow you need to support.

Products designed around degradation workflows rather than general post-processing

These eco auxiliaries serve specific technical functions within degradation-oriented workflows, from catalytic acceleration and enzymatic support to testing, monitoring and gas capture.

• Support for controlled degradation and biodegradation studies
• Availability of both catalytic and enzymatic degradation routes
• Tools for tracking and interpreting degradation behavior
• Collection of CO2 generated in degradation-related workflows where required
• Liquefaction support for selected biodegradable printed materials
• Useful for sustainability-oriented R&D, validation and demonstration workflows

Typical applications

These products are relevant where printed parts must be degraded, biodegraded, monitored or chemically transformed under controlled conditions.

• Biodegradation and prodegradation testing workflows
• Sustainability-oriented material studies
• Monitoring of degradation progress in printed parts
• Experimental setups for gas capture during degradation
• Liquefaction of selected biodegradable printed systems
• R&D and validation of degradation-enabled material platforms

Products in this collection

Products in this collection are shown below.

This collection currently includes catalytic additives, enzymatic catalysts, monitoring tools, CO2 collection equipment and liquefaction auxiliaries for degradation-oriented workflows.

Oxo-Degradable Catalyst ODC1

ODC1 is positioned as a prodegradant additive intended to accelerate the degradation of 3D prints.

• Introduces a prodegradation route rather than a passive aging route
• Supports faster degradation-oriented studies and validation workflows
• Useful where accelerated breakdown behavior is part of the material strategy

• Accelerated degradation programs
• Sustainability demonstration workflows
• Development of environmentally responsive printed materials

3Dresyn-ase EBC1

EBC1 is positioned as an enzymatic bio catalyst for biodegradation of 3D prints, indicating a biologically driven degradation-support route rather than only oxidative or chemical degradation.

• Supports biodegradation-focused workflows
• Useful in bio-oriented degradation studies
• Provides an alternative route to standard prodegradation-only strategies

• Enzymatic biodegradation studies
• Bio-based degradation programs
• R&D on biologically responsive material systems

Degradation Tester

This product is positioned as a monitoring tool for degradation of 3D prints, making it relevant not as a formulation additive, but as an analytical or workflow-control element.

• Supports tracking of degradation progress
• Improves repeatability and interpretation in testing workflows
• Helps convert degradation from a qualitative observation into a monitored process

• Controlled degradation studies
• Comparative testing between materials
• Validation and reporting workflows

3Dresyn CDC1

CDC1 is positioned as a Carbon Dioxide Collector, which makes it relevant in degradation or biodegradation workflows where CO2 generation is part of the process or of the analytical interpretation.

• Supports collection of CO2 generated during degradation-related processes
• Useful in setups where gas release must be captured or evaluated
• Adds analytical and environmental control value to biodegradation studies

• CO2-monitoring or collection workflows
• Biodegradation-related laboratory studies
• Sustainability and end-of-life evaluation programs

Liquefier for 3Dresyns BioDeg Corn H and F

This product is specifically positioned for liquefying 3D printed 3Dresyns BioDeg Corn H and F, making it the most workflow-specific auxiliary in the collection.

• Targets selected biodegradable printed materials rather than generic resin families
• Supports liquefaction as a downstream transformation route
• Relevant where degradation is not only monitored but actively converted into a physical breakdown pathway

• BioDeg Corn H workflows
• BioDeg Corn F workflows
• Material end-of-life handling and transformation studies

How to choose the right eco auxiliary

Select the product according to the exact role required in the degradation workflow rather than treating all eco auxiliaries as interchangeable.

• Need to accelerate degradation → choose ODC1
• Need an enzymatic biodegradation route → choose EBC1
• Need to observe and track degradation → choose the Degradation Tester
• Need CO2 collection in the degradation setup → choose CDC1
• Need liquefaction of BioDeg Corn H or F prints → choose the dedicated Liquefier

Degradation workflows require both activation and measurement

This collection shows that sustainable end-of-life strategies are not based on a single product type. Effective workflows may require a catalyst, a monitoring tool, a gas-handling device and a material-specific downstream auxiliary depending on the objective.

For that reason, product selection should be made at the workflow level, not only at the individual-product level.
