Fine Tuner VAM FT4 Bio HP, hydrophilic ultra safe bio photo accelerant up to 500 nm for VAM resins

Product description

Fine Tuner VAM FT4 Bio HP is a hydrophilic (non water soluble) version of Fine Tuner VAM FT4 Bio with similar kinetics performance. It is a 100% biocompatible accelerant additive designed to increase the cure speed of Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (VAM) resins printed via tomographic volumetric printing working with UV and visible light wavelengths from 150 to 500 nm.

The additive is described as 100% safe and biocompatible, without toxic phrases or pictograms. It is also indicated for increasing the print speed of hydrophilic biocompatible VAM resin systems.

Application framework

Designed for incorporation into volumetric additive manufacturing workflows using tomographic volumetric printing systems operating with UV and visible light sources from 150 to 500 nm, especially for hydrophilic biocompatible VAM resin systems.

Typical applications

• Increasing cure speed of VAM resins
• Increasing print speed of hydrophilic biocompatible VAM resin systems
• Fine tuning VAM printing workflows in high power and low power printers
• Biocompatible volumetric additive manufacturing applications

Recommended use guidelines

• Recommended wavelength range: 150-500 nm
• Suggested dosage in high power VAM printers: <0.5-1 wt% incremental steps
• Suggested dosage in low power VAM printers: <1-2 wt% incremental steps
• Increase dosage gradually to increase printing speed
• Avoid over dosage to prevent overcure and potential loss of resolution, precision and dimensional accuracy
• Resolution and dimensional accuracy can be increased with Fine Tuner VAM LB3 Bio ULWA

Functional performance characteristics

• Hydrophilic (non water soluble)
• Similar kinetics performance to Fine Tuner VAM FT4 Bio
• 100% biocompatible accelerant additive
• Increases cure speed of VAM resins
• Increases print speed of hydrophilic biocompatible VAM resin systems

Processing and handling performance

• Compatible with tomographic volumetric printing workflows
• Suitable for high power and low power VAM printers
• Requires careful dosage control to avoid overcure
• Overdosage may lead to loss of resolution, precision and dimensional accuracy
• Please do not expose any 3D resins to natural or room light to prevent their curing
• If water soluble / compatible 100% biocompatible accelerant additives are required, Fine Tuner VAM FT5 Bio WS is referenced as an alternative

Physical and handling characteristics

• Hydrophilic
• Non water soluble
• Ultra low water absorption
• 100% biocompatible
• 100% safe without toxic labels or pictograms

Packaging and use format

• Supplied as a kit
• Includes the product, one graduated beaker and one empty 250 mL black bottle
• Kit is designed to measure, mix, store and protect the 3D resins from daylight

Testing & processing disclaimer

Final cure speed, printing speed, resolution, precision and dimensional accuracy depend on resin formulation, dosage, printer irradiance, wavelength, exposure conditions and processing workflow. Optimization must be performed under actual printing conditions.

Disclaimer

This product is supplied as a formulation additive for professional use in volumetric additive manufacturing and photopolymer engineering workflows. It is not a standalone printable material. Final printing performance and suitability must be validated by the user according to the intended application.
