DLP – LOCTITE IND402
LOCTITE IND402 is a light-curing resin specifically designed for Digital Light Processing (DLP) 3D printing. It is a single component elastomer material with high elongation and high resilience, excellent tensile strength, and high energy return. The resin is primarily intended for industrial and engineering applications that require durability, toughness, and the ability to withstand high-stress environments. LOCTITE IND402 is particularly useful in applications that demand fine details and a smooth surface finish.
Key Material Facts:
- High Detail Resolution: As a resin specifically designed for DLP printing it offers excellent resolution, making it ideal for printing small, detailed parts with high precision. This makes it suitable for applications where fine details, sharp edges, and smooth contours are required.
- Surface Finish: Parts printed with LOCTITE IND402 exhibit smooth surfaces and a fine finish, making it suitable for applications where aesthetics are important.
- Excellent interlayer adhesion
- True elastomeric behavior
- Good rebound performance
- Durable with high energy return
Common Applications:
- End-Use Parts: Due to its durability and mechanical properties, LOCTITE IND402 can be used for creating end-use parts that must endure moderate mechanical stress, making it suitable for industries like automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics.
- Tooling and Manufacturing Aids: LOCTITE IND402 is useful for producing tooling, jigs, and fixtures used in manufacturing environments. Its strength and ability to resist wear and tear make it ideal for tooling that is exposed to mechanical forces during production.
