Formlabs Flame Retardant Resin 3D Printing Material
Formlabs Flame Retardant resin is a light-grey, halogen-free SLA material that is self-extinguishing
What is Formlabs Flame Retardant Resin?
Formlabs Flame Retardant Resin is a light-grey, halogen-free SLA material that is self-extinguishing. It combines stiffness with heat and creep resistance, helping parts retain their shape under sustained loads. The material has a UL 94 V-0 rating at a tested thickness of 3mm (0.118 in.), under the specified processing conditions.
Formlabs Flame Retardant Resin Overview
ApplicationsFormlabs Flame Retardant Resin is well suited to functional parts being developed for environments with heat or potential ignition sources. Its flame performance, stiffness, and creep resistance make it useful for protective electronics housings, internal equipment components, and custom industrial jigs and fixtures. |
