Tough LCD resin is an extremely tough and durable type of resin for all-purpose use

This high performance resin can be used for all types of resin 3D printers (SLA, DLP and LCD/MSLA) within the range of 385 – 420 nanometers. This is one of the hardest and stiffest resins on the market.

Due to the unique combination of high impact and scratch resistance, tough Resin is used for functional applications such as prototypes, click/click closures, tools, protective housings and even as short term productions.

*NB: Pay close attention when using resins and read the safety instructions here

> Safety data sheet Tough Resin

Features Tough Resin:

• strong and tough
• High impact resistance
• High scratch resistance
• Almost odorless production
• High wear resistance
• Accurate dimensional stability
• Suitable for all types of open source Resin 3D printers

Commissioning:

• Resins consist of chemicals: When using resins, therefore, always wear protection and protective aids such as nitrin gloves, safety glasses and a mouth mask against gases and vapors type FFP2 or type A.
• Avoid contact with skin, eyes and inhalation of toxic fumes; therefore wear a suitable face mask > read the safety regulations for the use of resin carefully.
• Shake the bottle for at least 2 minutes
• Then let the bottle rest for 10 minutes to get the air bubbles away

Post-processing:

• We advise you to post-treat the 3D print to obtain the correct material properties
• Rinse your 3D print for 5 minutes in a bath of IPA or BioEthanol in an ultrasonic cleaner
• Make sure your print is completely dry for further post-processing
• The 3D print must dry for at least 30 minutes in a well-ventilated area
• Place the resin 3D print in a curing unit to cure under the influence of a UV source for about 20-30 minutes at 65°C
• A wavelength of 300-410 nanometers is preferred

Work order post-processing:

1. Remove the print
2. Clean the print with IPA or BioEthanol
3. Let the print dry well
4. Remove the support
5. Cure the print in a curing chamber under a certain temperature and UV light
6. Optional finishing (sanding, polishing, priming and painting)
