Cleaning Fluid NW1 Bio – Hydrophobic Cleaner for Washing 3D Prints

Product description

Cleaning Fluid NW1 Bio is a hydrophobic cleaning fluid developed to wash and clean 3D prints and efficiently remove unreacted resin, hydrophobic residuals and processing byproducts.

Cleaning Fluid NW1 Bio has medium hydrophobicity and is suitable for cleansing and purification of 3D printed materials used in general industrial, laboratory and biomedical-oriented workflows. It can also be used to clean resin tanks (vats), printer covers and plastic components without causing the stress cracking typically associated with isopropanol and other volatile alcohol solvents.

Application framework

Designed for washing and cleansing 3D printed materials in general industrial, laboratory and biomedical-oriented workflows. Suitable for cleaning prints, resin tanks (vats), printer covers and plastic components.

Typical applications

• Washing and cleaning 3D prints
• Removing unreacted resin, hydrophobic residuals and processing byproducts
• Cleaning resin tanks (vats), printer covers and plastic components

Measured physical properties

• Viscosity: <50 mPas at 23°C ± 2°C (ISO 3219)

Functional performance characteristics

• Efficient resin removal
• Suitable for washing and light post-curing by dipping at room temperature
• Compatible with thermal post-curing workflows up to 100 °C
• Ideal for prints not prone to whitening or when minor residual haziness is acceptable
• Excellent resin washing and overall cleaning performance for most 3Dresyns systems
• Can provide enhanced surface shine after cleaning plastic and metal parts

Processing and handling performance

• For maximum clarity and transparency, use Cleaning Fluid UNW1 Bio or Cleaning Fluid UNW2 Bio for ultra gloss and transparency of prints.
• It can be used to clean resin tanks (vats), printer covers and plastic components without causing the stress cracking typically associated with isopropanol and other volatile alcohol solvents.
• It is an effective alternative to volatile solvents that may attack plastics, painted parts or printer enclosures.
• Does not typically attack plastics or painted printer components
• Suitable for immersion cleaning in glass or compatible plastic containers
• IFU for ultra gloss and transparency
• For cleaning water-soluble sacrificial resins, please use Cleaning Fluid WS1 or Cleaning Fluid WS2 Bio.
• To reuse contaminated Cleaning Fluid, expose the used cleaning fluid in a transparent container to sunlight or to controlled light exposure in a curing unit.
• Residual uncured resin will polymerize into small solid particles.
• Filter the liquid through an appropriate paint filter to remove the cured particles.
• The filtered cleaning fluid may then be reused for subsequent washing cycles.

Chemical and safety characteristics

• Bio-based from renewable sources
• Biodegradable
• Low hydrophilicity and moderate polarity
  
• Non-water-soluble
• Low volatility
• Non-flammable under normal handling conditions

Testing & processing disclaimer

For cleaning water-soluble sacrificial resins, please use Cleaning Fluid WS1 or Cleaning Fluid WS2 Bio.
