Fillamentum Kimya White TPC-91A 3D Printing Filament - 1.75mm (750g)
Timberfill is an exciting new filament from Fillamentum that is made from wood-based biodegradable material. Timberfill prints and functions very similar to PLA, but has the genuine look and feel of wood!
The best part about Timberfill filaments is their unique color options: Champagne, Light Wood, Rosewood, and Cinnamon.

Questions
The TDS download link provided is for Kimya TPU-92A - I found the TPC-91A TDS at https://www.kimya.fr/pdf/kimya-tpc-91a-3d-filament_en.pdf
How does this compare functionally with OBC ?
Is this material UV resistant? I saw references to generic TPC being resistant but Kimya TDS makes no mention of UV. I need flex material suitable for outdoor use.
This is the response I got from Kimya:
"As it pertains to our material being UV resistant, we don't have any data internally yet regarding the UV resistance of the specific formulations of our filaments (except for ASA). With that being said, you can take a look at this website, which provides information on UV Light Resistance and Polymer properties.
UV light Resistance & Properties: Polymer Properties (specialchem.com)"
I am doing my own testing by placing a sample in direct sunlight... so far so good, but it will take awhile.
Besides that, after printing a few parts, I can say that I prefer Kimya TPC over regular TPU 95A. Prints well albeit slow on a Bowden machine. Just use extruder with constrained path and limit max volumetric speed.
