PolyDissolve™ S1 is a water dissolvable support for PLA, TPU, PVB and Nylon based filaments from Polymakers portfolio. It is specifically engineered to have a perfect interface with these materials while also displaying good solubility.
Features
Complex Geometry - PolyDissolve™ S1 is a preferable solution when printing complex geometries, overhangs, internal cavities and complicated structures. It liberates you from support removal problems, and enables greater design freedom.
Wide material support - PolyDissolve™ S1 is engineered to have a good adhesion and perfect interface with a variety of supported materials from Polymaker including Nylon, PLA, TPU and PVB.
Water Soluble - Optimized to dissolve in water, supports printed in PolyDissolve™ S1 will dissolve in tap water. Safe and easily accessible!
Improved surface quality - Greatly improve the surface quality where supports interface with your prints when using PolyDissolve™ S1.
Quality Control - Polymakers leading quality control process and rigorous in-house testing, ensure reliable printing and consistency across spools and batches.

When printing some materials or parts with complex geometry it can be really difficult and time consuming to remove supports. Sometimes special tools are required to break supports away from the model and in many cases prints can fail due to support related issues.
Specifically engineered as a soluble support material for a wide range of plastics, PolyDissolve™ S1 can be dissolved in tap water, simplifying and in many ways automating the tricky part of the support removal process. With water soluble supports users can print more complex and delicate geometry and remove supports safely without risk of breaking the part.
PolyDissolve™ S1 softens and dissolves in ordinary tap water. The dissolving process can be sped up through regular replacement, agitation or using heated water.
PolyDissolve™ S1 has become the go to choice for many users due to its compatibility with a wide range of materials. Traditionally removing supports from materials like Nylon and TPU can be harder but with PolyDissolve™ S1 it is easy. Engineered to perfectly bond with Polymakers PLA, TPU, PVB and Nylon based filaments, with PolyDissolve™ S1 you don't need to invest in a unique support material for each different material type.
All Polymaker products are formulated by Polymakers experienced R&D team to provide new optimized and innovative material solutions for the industry. Whether it be improving printing reliability & experience (Warp-Free™, Jam-Free™) to maximising material performance and functionality (Layer-Free™, Nano reinforcement). Polymakers patented technologies and expansive portfolio have continued to provide empowering solutions to customers internationally, from Automotive manufacturers and Construction companies right down to the entrepreneur and household maker.
Industry Leading Quality Control
PolyDissolve™ S1 like all other Polymaker materials is manufactured using state-of-the-art polymer processing technologies and equipment. Polymakers rigorous quality control process ensures industrial standards of reliability for a consistent customer experience.
Tolerance: Polymakers custom developed extrusion, control and monitoring solutions ensure filament tolerance (typical tolerance ± 0.02mm) and roundness meet Polymakers strict quality standards.
Reliable Mechanical, Colouring & Printing Properties: Every batch of filament products are tested to ensure all quality specs (melt flow, softening point, mechanical, diameter, round-ness) are met.
Drying & Vacuum Sealing: Before packaging, all Polymaker filaments are dried to a moisture level of < 0.1% to ensure the best printing quality and are vacuum sealed to protect the filament from moisture. All vacuum packaged products are left for 24 hours before boxing to ensure they are leak-free.
Packaging
Transparent Spool: PolyDissolve™ S1 is carefully wound on Polymakers 750g transparent spools. With the transparent spool and the weight gauge, it is easy to see exactly how much filament is left for your next printing project.
Resealable Bag: PolyDissolve™ S1 is packaged in an aluminium foil resealable bag to ensure your filament is moisture free. Like all PVA based materials, PolyDissolve™ S1 is hygroscopic so we highly recommend keeping this bag for filament storage.
