3Dputty SAE is our light curing durable Swellable Absorbent and Elastic Hydrogel

Product description

3Dputty SAE is a curing durable swellable absorbent and elastic Hydrogel putty curable with UV & visible light in seconds.

Its usage is ideal as hydrogel for different bioprinting applications. It is a fast light curing putty, which before exposure to UV / visible light can be modelled, and after shaping it can be hardened in seconds to become a durable super elastic hydrogel material.

Application framework

Designed for hydrogel and bioprinting applications requiring a UV & visible light curable swellable absorbent and elastic hydrogel putty.

Typical applications

• Hydrogel for different bioprinting applications
• Water and alcohol swellable absorbent hydrogel 3D materials
• Soft gels or jellies and elastic hydrogel materials with Shore O30
• Applications intended to support cell adhesion and promote cell infiltration for tissue engineering and hydrogels

Measured mechanical properties

• Tensile strength: <2 MPa before dipping / <0.2 MPa after dipping (ISO 527-1 / ISO 527-2)
• Flexural strength: <2 MPa before dipping / <0.2 MPa after dipping (ISO 178)
• Young’s modulus: <2 MPa before dipping / <0.2 MPa after dipping (ISO 527)
• Elongation at break: >100% before dipping / >>200% after overnight dipping in water and/or alcohol (ISO 527)
• Shore hardness: A20 before dipping in water / O30 after dipping in water (ISO 868)

Measured physical properties

• Absorption: more than 2-3 times its weight of water and/or alcohol
