PolyLite™ PLA Pro is a first of its kind: combining high toughness and high rigidity, this professional PLA offers engineering properties with the ease of print of regular PLA.
It is a high performance PLA+ material, ideal for mechanically demanding PLA projects. It is an impact modified formulation of PolyLite™ PLA which delivers superior impact strength while retaining the high strength and rigidity of PolyLite™ PLA.

What is the difference between PolyLite™ PLA, PolyMax™ PLA and PolyLite™ PLA Pro?
Short answer:
PolyLite™ PLA is a very rigid material with very low impact resistance.
PolyMax™ PLA is an extremely ductile material with high impact resistance and durability.
PolyLite™ PLA Pro is the best of both worlds combining excellent rigidity and high impact strength.

Has PolyLite™ PLA Pro Silver different properties?
As you may know regular silk PLA has different mechanical properties as regular PLA, however with PLA Pro we developed a technology to have the silk and smooth finish without affecting the mechanical properties. PolyLite™ PLA Pro Silver has the same high impact strength and rigidity as the regular colors but with a much smoother and silkier surface finish.
Does the Metallic effect affect the layer adhesion?
Layer Adhesion (Tensile Strength Z axis):
PolyLite PLA Pro Regular Colors: 36.49Mpa
PolyLite PLA Pro Metallic Gold/Silver/Bronze (Crystal Powder): 30.12Mpa
PolyLite PLA Pro Metallic Blue/Red/Magenta (Pearl Powder): 34.32Mpa
For your reference:
PolyLite PLA Regular Colors: 40.55Mpa
PolyLite PLA Silk Colors: 20.21Mpa
PolyLite PLA Carbon Fiber: 15.13Mpa
PolyTerra PLA Regular Colors: 12.20Mpa
PolyTerra PLA+ Regular Colors: 16.69Mpa
Silk PLA are very weak because of the formula change, the PLA Pro metallic is not a formula change but a color master batch optimization, the effect on the layer adhesion is minimum.
You lose 50% strength when going from regular PLA to Silk PLA.
You lose 6%-17% (depending on the color master batch changes) from PLA Pro to PLA Pro Metallic.
