72017A-8 Dual-Curing UV Resin for 3D Printed Footwear
Product Overview
72017A-8 is an innovative dual-curing resin system developed for demanding UV-curable applications requiring both flexibility and mechanical durability.
Unlike conventional UV resins, 72017A-8 combines rapid UV curing with a secondary thermal curing mechanism. After UV exposure, the resin can further react with amine components at elevated temperatures (≥70°C), forming an enhanced crosslinked network that significantly improves the final mechanical properties.
This dual-curing approach provides an excellent balance between printing precision, elasticity, dimensional stability, and long-term durability.
