Description
LOCTITE IND406 is a tough 3D printing resin with high impact resistance that performs well in applications requiring high elongation & very high optical clarity.
This resin is so clear that it can be used to make indicator lenses & covers.
It maintains this high clarity outdoors without yellowing, which is a common issue with consumer grade resins.
Its high surface finish & elongation also makes it perfect for snap fit housings & casings on consumer goods.
Ideal for a wide variety of tools in the production floor, manufacturing aids & jigs.
Key Benefits:
- Toughest Clear resin without yellowing
- Elongation at Break – 96%
- Tensile Stress at Break – 38 MPa
- Young’s Modulus – 1400 MPa
- Shore Hardness – 76D
Biocompatibility: ISO 10993 -5/-23 passed
Color: Clear
