Timeplast is a materials-science company that develops time-programmable, water-soluble polymers intended as replacements for conventional plastic. Its core material is alcohol-based and composed of up to 70% water, engineered to stay water-resistant for a programmable interval — minutes to years — before dissolving without leaving microplastics or persistent residue. The company sells direct to consumers, primarily as 3D printing filament, alongside straws, film, paint, and end-of-life disintegration hardware.
Founder and CEO Manuel Rendón, a Venezuelan environmental engineer, built the company around a specific gap: existing water-soluble plastics such as polyvinyl alcohol dissolve on contact with water and cannot substitute for conventional plastic. Consumer 3D printing filament became the commercial entry point because raw polymer is difficult to sell directly to consumers. The portfolio now spans more than 40 proprietary filaments under the TimeMass brand — including the soap, fire, plant-vitamin, and light-transmitting variants catalogued in 📝Novel & Exotic 3D Printing Filaments — plus TimeplastRAW, the mineral-enhanced Timeplast Plus, TimeStraw, TimeFilm, TimePaint, and Pabyss, a molecular disintegration chamber. Capitalization came through two oversubscribed SEC-regulated equity crowdfunding rounds rather than institutional venture capital, reported at roughly $10M from over 9,000 investors. Company-reported order volume grew from 1,000 in June 2025 to more than 8,000 by March 2026. A longer-term concept, The Manifester, proposes voice-driven on-demand household manufacturing.
