3D-ADD PIC1, Polyimide Concentrate for decreasing frictional wear

Product description

3D-ADD PIC1 is an excellent polyimide concentrate, supplied as a paste at high concentration of polyimide powder.

It can be added to 3Dresyns for decreasing the frictional wear of printed parts and acts as a toughening agent improving impact strength and load bearing capability.

Application framework

Designed for use in compatible SLA, DLP & LCD 3D resin systems as a polyimide concentrate for decreasing frictional wear and improving toughness.

Typical applications

• Decreasing the frictional wear of printed parts
• Improving impact strength of 3D printed materials
• Improving load bearing capability of 3D printed materials

Measured physical properties

• Orange color
• Stable free flowing orange paste / slurry
• Additions of 15-25% by weight are recommended to preserve printability in most SLA, DLP & LCD printers and provide significant frictional wear
• Lipophilic LP version with HLB: < 7.5 (Ultra Low Water Absorption ULWA grades)
• Medium Hydrophilicity MHP version with HLB: 7.5-12
• High Hydrophilicity HHP version with HLB: >12

Functional performance characteristics

• It can be added to any 3Dresyn for decreasing the frictional wear of printed parts
• Acts as toughening agent improving impact strength and load bearing capability

Processing and handling performance

• Easy to add and mix in any 3Dresyn
• Additions of 15-25% by weight are recommended to preserve printability in most SLA, DLP & LCD printers and provide significant frictional wear
• It is supplied as a kit, which contains the product, one graduated beaker and one empty 250 mL black bottle to measure, mix, keep and protect the 3D resins from daylight
• Please do not expose any 3D resins to natural or room light to prevent their curing.
• Step addtions are recommended to get the optimum and desired overall properties balance for each system.

Chemical and safety characteristics

• 100% biocompatible
• Non hazardous, free of hazards, pictograms and risk phrases
• Organo-tin free

Testing & processing disclaimer

The effect on the frictional wear properties will depend on the original properties of the chosen 3Dresyn and the dosage of the concentrate used. Step addtions are recommended to get the optimum and desired overall properties balance for each system.
