Why Tough PLA?
Ultimaker Tough PLA is specifically designed for functional prototyping and large prints - specifically offering a higher impact resistance than standard PLA as well as greater heat resistance. The Ultimaker S5 is a large scale prototyping and production monster, and Tough PLA is the ideal material to pair with that machine for reliable and easy to achieve high quality results. Tough PLA offers many of the benefits of ABS without the drawbacks such as warping and more difficult bed adhesion.

Full Compatibility
Even though Tough PLA is a new addition to the Ultimaker ecosystem, no special hardware is required to start using this material today. Tough PLA will print beautifully on the Ultimaker 2+, and should be paired with a Build Core on the Ultimaker 3 or Ultimaker S5. The same goes for support material, weather your use case calls for dissolvable PVA or Ultimaker Breakaway supports, Tough PLA is ready to work with either one.
