High Temp

Product catalog summary

Material Overview: High Temp Resin is designed for heat resistance, offering a heat deflection temperature (HDT) of 238 °C at 0.45 MPa, the highest among Formlabs resins. It is suitable for printing detailed prototypes that require high temperature resistance, such as hot air, gas, and fluid flow components, molds, inserts, and heat-resistant mounts.

Specifications: The resin is priced at $199 per liter. It is compatible with Form 2 3D printers and is a photopolymer resin.

Thermal Properties: The heat deflection temperature varies based on the curing process: 43.6 °C (green), 99.2 °C (post-cured), and 101 °C (thermally post-cured) at 1.8 MPa. At 0.45 MPa, the temperatures are 49.3 °C (green), 142 °C (post-cured), and 238 °C (thermally post-cured).

Mechanical Properties: Ultimate tensile strength is 20.9 MPa (green), 58.3 MPa (post-cured), and 51.1 MPa (thermally post-cured). Elongation at break is 14% (green), 3.3% (post-cured), and 2.4% (thermally post-cured). Tensile modulus is 0.75 GPa (green), 2.75 GPa (post-cured), and 2.9 GPa (thermally post-cured).

Impact Properties: Notched IZOD impact strength is 32.8 J/m (green), 18.2 J/m (post-cured), and 24.2 J/m (thermally post-cured).

Thermal Expansion: The coefficient of thermal expansion is 118.1 μm/m/°C (green), 79.6 μm/m/°C (post-cured), and 74 μm/m/°C (thermally post-cured).

Solvent Compatibility: The resin shows minimal weight and size gain (<1%) when immersed in various solvents for 24 hours, indicating good chemical resistance. Exceptions include a 1.2% weight gain in strong acid (HCl conc).

Recommendations: The material properties can vary with part geometry, print orientation, print settings, and temperature. Proper post-curing is essential to achieve optimal material properties.
