Plastic that keeps time, then returns to water.
Timeplast is a chemical technology company making time-programmable, water-soluble materials: 70% water by mass; the rest is calcium carbonate, vinegar, sugar alcohols and our own proprietary version of polyethenol, a water-soluble polymer built from alcohol units. Strong for as long as it is programmed to be; dissolved, not fragmented, when you're done.
One material, every form.
TimeMass™
4-dimensional 3D-printing filaments that clean, feed, glow, burn or generate electricity. Designed by String Cubed, made and sold by Timeplast.
Explore filamentsTimeplast Raw™ & Plus™
Thermoplastic resin for extrusion, injection, thermoforming and blown film. Active grades dissolve in 60 seconds to 60 hours; Passive grades last from 60 days to an unlimited period.
Industrial materialsTimeStraw & Timefilm™
A molecularly polar straw and next-generation timed films, both between batches.
Finished goodsPabyss™ & TimePaint
A molecular disintegrator shaped like a bottomless trash can, and TimePaint coatings, from glow-in-the-dark to fire-resistant.
Devices & coatingsDissolves only when you decide.
Timeplast materials stay dry and strong on the shelf and in the rain. Dissolution begins only after continuous contact with non-stagnant, flowing water, for a lifespan we program into the polymer: set by its molecular weight and the thickness of the part.
Dissolves quickly. Single-use objects, soap, bait, release systems.
Slower than Active. Packaging, straws, nutrient release.
Very slow. Durable goods that still never become microplastic.
70% water. No microplastics.
The water is chemically and physically bound inside a dynamically crosslinked polymer network, so the material feels dry yet dissolves on schedule. When it does, molecular weight drops to natural levels; there is no fragment left to become a microplastic.

From the founder's mouth.
In their own words.
“These might be the most interesting filaments ever made.”
“I could easily fill an entire video with just Timeplast's filaments, and I would really like to.”
“I absolutely think it's worth it.”
“I love that they're even trying to make this sort of stuff because this feels like the beginning of something else.”
TimeMass™ is an advanced material. Most profiles call for a 0.8 mm nozzle and thorough drying.
Earth looks blue from space because its surface is mostly water. Crowning water as the solvent king, and harmonizing our materials with it, is the obvious move for a chemically balanced civilization.
