The Problem: PLA Was Never Built to Survive the Real World Every Problem has a Solution
The Problem The Solution
Uncoated PLA Armor-X CoverGuard PLA Coating
Heat Sensitivity ** **Heat Resistance
Warps & deforms in the sun +75% thermal tolerance
PLA softens at ~60°C (140°F) Fully intact at (250°F)
UV Exposure ** **UV Protection
Turns brittle, cracks, fades +90% UV resistance
UV light breaks down polymer chains Withstands months of outdoor exposure
Low Impact Strength ** ** Impact Strength
Snaps under stress +60% shock durability
PLA is rigid but not tough Flexes under load, resists drops
Water Resistance ** **Water Resistance
Absorbs moisture, swells Fully sealed from rain/moisture
PLA is hydrophilic (water-loving) +100% waterproofing
Layer Delamination ** **Layer Fusion Strength
Peels at seams Reinforced shell locks seams
Poor bonding in outdoor conditions +40% structural cohesion
**Abrasion & Scratch Resistance
Textured surface resists gouges
+55% surface durability
Armor-X CoverGuard™ coatings were engineered to transform fragile prints into mission-ready tools.
Backed by intense in-field abuse, here’s what we deliver:
Turns hobby prints into tool-grade components
Keeps modules, mounts, and enclosures safe from sun, heat, drops, and weather
Gives you real-world confidence in 3D printed parts
“Print… Coat… Dominate."
"Don’t just print it…
Guard it."
