3Dresyn PP TFA60 Tough & Foldable A60

Product description

3Dresyn PP TFA60 is a tough, elastomeric photopolymer formulation designed to provide high flexibility, elasticity and foldability while maintaining structural integrity. The material enables the fabrication of durable components capable of undergoing large deformation and repeated compression without cracking or permanent damage.

This formulation is engineered to deliver a soft rubber-like mechanical profile (Shore A scale), making it particularly suitable for applications requiring high compliance, surface adaptation and efficient stress distribution.

Application framework

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

Particularly suitable for soft elastomeric printing plates where high compression, enhanced conformity and repeated deformation cycles are required.

Typical applications

• Flexographic (flexo) printing plates (soft-medium hardness range)
• Pad printing clichés with enhanced surface conformity and ink transfer
• Soft-contact printing plates for curved, irregular or compressible substrates
• Relief printing plates requiring high elastic deformation
• Soft lithography and microcontact printing
• Flexible plates for packaging, labeling and soft materials
• 3D printed plates and panels
• Highly flexible functional components

Measured mechanical properties

• Tensile strength: <10 MPa (ISO 527-1 / ISO 527-2)
• Flexural strength: <10 MPa (ISO 178)
• Young’s modulus: <10 MPa (ISO 527)
• Elongation at break: >50% (ISO 527)
• Shore hardness: A60 (ISO 868)

Measured physical properties

• Shrinkage: very low (typical)
• Resolution capability: very high (process-dependent)
• Color stability: non-settling formulation

Functional performance characteristics

• Tough elastomeric (non-brittle) material behavior
• High flexibility and foldability without breaking
• High impact and shattering resistance
• Very low modulus enabling large deformation under load
• Durable under repeated mechanical stress
• High compression capability enabling improved substrate conformity
• Enhanced elastic recovery for repeated printing cycles
• Suitable for cyclic deformation environments such as flexographic and pad printing

Printing plate performance

• Contact behavior: soft elastomeric (high compression)
• Ink transfer: driven by deformation and surface conformity
• Recovery: high elastic recovery after compression cycles
• Best suited for: flexographic printing plates and pad printing clichés
• Flexo note: suitable for medium-to-low pressure printing and irregular substrates
• Pad printing note: enhanced ink pickup and release due to high 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
• Increased durability of the resin tank during printing

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

Testing & processing disclaimer

Material properties are measured under controlled laboratory conditions and may vary depending on printer type, exposure conditions, layer thickness, build orientation and post-processing workflow.
