The time-programmable material.
3D print with no toxic fumes for the first time ever.
What is Timeplast?
Timeplast is a pioneering chemical company specializing in the development of time-programmable, water-soluble products.
Timeplast RAW
Our collection of products:
The Rolls Royce of materials.
Timeplast Raw is the first time-programmable, water-soluble material, designed for extrusion, injection molding, and thermoforming. This alcohol-based innovation advances sustainability and combats microplastic pollution.
Time-Mass
Time-Mass is a pioneering 3D printing filament that allows you to create objects specifically designed to occupy predefined spaces and times. This innovative material enables the production of 4-dimensional objects, a new stage in product engineering, offering unprecedented possibilities in various fields.
Why Timeplast?
What if all plastics
in the World were made by Timeplast?
We conducted a field test in a marine aquarium environment. Unlike yuca and other bio-based plastics, our material is completely water-soluble. As a result, when introduced into the ocean, it dissolves entirely, effectively reducing its concentration to virtually zero.
Timeplast Plus
Timeplast Plus builds on the success of Timeplast Raw, integrating pure calcium carbonate into the polymer matrix through advanced molecular entanglement. This innovation is cost-effective, offers improved thermomechanical stability, and serves as a seamless, plug-and-play solution for manufacturing.
Time-MASS Support
Introducing Time-Mass Support: A durable, water-soluble filament redefining 3D printing. Engineered for precision and sustainability, it dissolves effortlessly, ensuring flawless prints while caring for the planet.
Time-Wrap
Meet Time-Wrap: A time-programmable, water-soluble packaging material redefining sustainability. It offers controlled dissolution, reliable protection, and eco-friendly innovation. Experience the future of packaging with TIME-WRAP.
Pabyss
™
The Plastic Abyss.
Pabyss™ is a Patented Device that molecularly deconstructs any material, as long as it’s made by Timeplast.
Let’s explore and debunk.
LEVEL 1: CONVENTIONAL PLASTICS.
These are traditional, fossil-fuel-based plastics, including Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Polystyrene (PS), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). They are widely used but contribute heavily to pollution as they persist in the environment for centuries.
Levels of Plastics
LEVEL 2: PARTIALLY RECYCLED PLASTICS.
These are plastics that contain a mix of virgin and recycled content, such as Partially Recycled PET (rPET) or Partially Recycled PE. While they reduce raw material use, they still pose environmental challenges due to the presence of new plastic.
LEVEL 3: 100% RECYCLED PLASTICS.
Plastics made entirely from recycled materials, such as 100% Recycled PET or 100% Recycled HDPE. These help reduce waste and limit the need for virgin plastic but still face the issue of microplastics and degradation over time.
LEVEL 4: PARTIALLY BIO-BASED PLASTICS.
These include plastics that are partially derived from renewable biological resources, like Bio-based PET and Partially Bio-based PLA. Although sourced from plants, they may still contain fossil-fuel-based components and don’t fully address long-term environmental concerns.
LEVEL 5: 100% BIOBASED PLASTICS.
Fully plant-based plastics, such as PLA (Polylactic Acid) and PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoates), which are derived entirely from renewable sources. They offer a more eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastics but may not always degrade efficiently in natural environments.
LEVEL 6: WATER SOLUBLE PLASTICS.
The most advanced and environmentally friendly solution, including Timeplast, which dissolves completely in water, leaving no microplastics or harmful residues behind. Timeplast breaks down into naturally occurring compounds, aligning with nature’s design, as water is intended to be the universal solvent. This represents the ultimate level of plastic sustainability.
Common questions answered
Timeplast materials dissolve only when in continuous contact with non-stagnant, freely flowing water.

Timeplast Delayed/Extended: Dissolves slower than active.
Timeplast Passive: Dissolves slowly.
PVA and Timeplast:
Unpacking
the differences
While the concept of water-soluble plastics isn't new, Timeplast's innovative approach distinctly sets it apart from traditional materials like Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA). PVA, developed in 1924, is predominantly used in niche applications like dishwasher pods due to its inherent limitations. The material begins dissolving upon contact with any moisture and is typically restricted to forming thin films, given that as increasing its thickness compromises its solubility.
Timeplast on the other hand, is able to exist in the presence of water for a predetermined period of time, after which point it will then dissolve.
A type 1 civilization
With Earth looking blue from outer space due to its surface mostly covered in H2O, crowning water as the solvent king should be an incredibly obvious move for a Type 1 Civilization in the Kardashev Scale. It's time to harmonize materials with water solubility as a guiding principle. Timeplast stands positioned to revolutionize the plastic industry with its groundbreaking material that aligns with our planet's Grand Chemistry design - from inception to disposal. Together, let's reinvent the norm, let's tip the scales in favor of a chemically balanced world, and beyond; a chemically balanced civilization.
Learn about our latest pieces.
-
Timeplast is an alcohol-based material.
-
No. Microplastics are pieces that even at nanometric levels are still non-water-soluble.
-
Yes. Our key technological point is the programmability of water resistance in a water soluble material.
“Nature to be commanded

Francis Bacon.
“Timeplast aspires for our entire society to use water-soluble plastics, allowing us to extend the concept of zero plastic waste through Pabyss™ to a societal level. However, this will only occur if most, if not all, wasteful materials are water-soluble, reaffirming water's status as the universal solvent.”
