3Dresyn NMF Bio Soya1, bio based soya 3D resin for nano and micro fabrication

Product description

3Dresyn NMF Bio Soya1 is a UV & EB curable bio-based tough photopolymer for nano and micro fabrication, including printing of tough stamps for Nano Imprinting Lithography NIL, tough negative photoresists for standard UV lithography and PCB technology processing, and UV patterning of core and cladding.

This resin exhibits properties in between quartz glass and PDMS and is based on a renewable green source made from soybean and plants, with over 70% renewable bio-based content.
