New SLA 3D Printing Material for Industrial Applications

Henkel extends its range of high-performance photopolymer resins for VAT polymerization technology with the addition of a new resin for the Stereolithography (SLA) technology. The company’s line of Loctite branded photopolymer 3D printing materials is positioned to address the needs of customers in several markets. 

Henkel is introducing a high-performance photopolymer for industrial 3D printing applications – Loctite 3D IND408. This is the first material of a new portfolio that aims to further invent and innovate in the SLA technology space and to provide customer specific application solutions.

Loctite 3D IND408 designed for SLA Vat printers reportedly enables the production of parts with isotropic properties and low moisture absorption. This unique formulation can be used in very fast print speeds. The printed parts have fine features and smooth and glossy surface finish making them ideal for design visualization, the company stated. With a high thermal performance at temperatures greater than 100°C, the resin offers unique properties in the market. This material is ideal for producing parts quickly with high details and excellent surface finishes for applications ranging from general purpose to end-use parts. Loctite 3D IND408 is currently available in black color.
