3Dresyn PP FA30 Flexible A30

Product description

3Dresyn PP FA30 is an ultra-soft elastomeric photopolymer formulation designed to provide extremely low modulus, very high elasticity and exceptional foldability while maintaining structural integrity. The material enables the fabrication of durable components capable of undergoing very large deformation and repeated compression cycles without mechanical failure.

This formulation is engineered to deliver a very low hardness rubber-like mechanical profile (Shore A scale), making it particularly suitable for applications requiring extreme compliance, full surface adaptation and maximum energy absorption.

Application framework

Designed for use in vat photopolymerization systems (SLA, DLP and LCD) within professional and industrial environments for ultra-soft, highly elastic and highly deformable components.

Particularly suitable for extreme elastomeric printing plates where maximum compression, full substrate conformity and large deformation are required.

Typical applications

• Ultra-soft flexographic (flexo) printing plates for very low-pressure applications
• Pad printing clichés with extreme conformity and maximum ink transfer
• Soft-contact printing plates for highly irregular, porous or compressible substrates
• Relief printing plates requiring very large deformation capability
• Soft lithography and microcontact printing (PDMS-like applications)
• Functional patterned elastomers for surface transfer applications
• Flexible plates for textiles, foams and soft packaging materials
• Ultra-flexible functional components

Measured mechanical properties

• Tensile strength: <5 MPa (ISO 527-1 / ISO 527-2)
• Flexural strength: <5 MPa (ISO 178)
• Young’s modulus: <5 MPa (ISO 527)
• Elongation at break: >70% (ISO 527)
• Shore hardness: A30 (ISO 868)

Measured physical properties

• Shrinkage: very low (typical)

• Viscosity: very low (<50 mPa·s)

Functional performance characteristics

• Ultra-soft elastomeric (non-brittle) material behavior
• Extreme flexibility and foldability without breaking
• High impact and shattering resistance
• Extremely low modulus enabling very large deformation under load

Printing plate performance

• Contact behavior: ultra-soft elastomeric (extreme compression)
• Ink transfer: governed by deformation and full contact mechanics
• Recovery: high elastic recovery after repeated compression cycles
• Best suited for: ultra-soft flexographic printing, pad printing and soft lithography
• Flexo note: ideal for very low-pressure systems and highly irregular or compressible substrates
• Pad printing note: maximum ink pickup and release due to extreme compliance

Processing and handling performance

• Printing technologies: SLA, DLP and LCD
• Compatible with most commercial and professional systems when properly calibrated
• Stable processing and reliable printability
• Very low viscosity enabling easy recoating and processing

Chemical and safety characteristics

• Monomer-based (MB) formulation
• Reactive components may present irritation hazards prior to full polymerization
• Final properties and safety are achieved after proper post-curing and cleaning
• Synthetic resin base
• Organo-tin free formulation
