Henkel Expands Loctite Range of Photopolymer Resins

Henkel has expanded its portfolio of photopolymer resins for 3D Printing with four Loctite materials, offering performance and versatility. From rapid prototyping to end-part production, these products are designed to support a diverse range of applications.

The tough, industrial photopolymer resins include unique high impact-resistant 3D printing materials for durable, functional and production parts. The specialized resins are characterized by distinct and unique properties tailored to specific industrial or commercial applications.

Loctite 3D PRO9274 is a durable dark gray resin that enables fast printing of highly detailed parts. Designed to seamlessly print on various types of digital light processing (DLP)/liquid crystal display (LCD) printers, the material enables users to produce a broad range of products all at a cost-effective price point.

Loctite 3D IND3380 is a specialty resin with electrostatic dissipative (ESD) properties and a high heat deflection temperature (HDT) of 190°C that offers excellent stiffness, precision and versatility.

Loctite 3D IND5714 is a gray elastomer resin with high rebound properties and excellent repetitive strain resistance. A low shore hardness combined with excellent compression set, good tear resistance and strength makes this material well suited for use in industrial elastomeric, safe touch applications.

Loctite 3D MED9851 is a high-performance medical material with excellent tensile and flexural physical properties. Stiffness combined with toughness and its transparent appearance make this material well suited for an extensive variety of impact-resistant medical device applications.

“We are excited to introduce these additions to our product lineup,” says Dr. Daniel Adams, vice president at Henkel Loctite 3D Printing. “The new products represent an extension of every one of our product lines and thereby enable our customers to manufacture parts for an even wider range of industries, applications and use cases.”

The company provides a wide range of high-performance engineering-grade resins specifically designed for industrial applications. Designed for various DLP and LCD platforms, Loctite resins have the mechanical properties to support aerospace, automotive and transportation, industrial and manufacturing, medical and consumer goods applications. The Loctite line can support additive manufacturing at a production scale with a broad material portfolio, including properties such as high-impact, high-temperature resistance and even elastomeric.
