Searching for comparative information between the two. The tough+ isn’t in the main pages data sheet yet.
They haven’t published any data yet. In the filament industry, terms like “Tough,” “High Flow (HF),” or “PLA+” are purely marketing labels - there are no standards or accepted definitions behind them. Even if a datasheet appears, don’t trust it; it will almost certainly be marketing doublespeak, not meaningful specifications.
It is available in the EU store https://store.bblcdn.eu/s8/default/f0874452d01249dba4ab6fc68ca972e4/BambuPLA_Tough_TechnicalData_Sheet_(2).pdf
Very nice, do you have the PLA cf ones too?
Yes
I did make a comparison chart a while ago here:
I have updated it since (except for PLA Tough) but do not seem to have posted it yet. Will do when back at my laptop.

Here’s my filament TDS data. Now also with PLA Tough+.
There may be errors in it, but I hope they are few.
FDM Filament Data.3mf (287,9 KB)
FDM Filament Comparison.3mf (302,0 KB)
Since I can not upload pdf’s here, you’ll need to change the file extension back from 3mf to pdf.

Thank you very much. The impact strength of the tough+ seems unbelievable. 915%
Also surprised it performs worst in most compared to straight PLA
Well, it’s what it is tailored for.
PLA is actually quite tough to beat on an individual number basis. And when trying to improve a particular property, it is quite common that other properties need to be sacrificed. Here, they seem to have succesfully traded stiffness for impact strength.
