Overview

A black version of the WaterShed XC 11122 SLA resin that processes faster than alternative black resins and comes off the printer a true black, so parts need no painting. It offers a smooth finish, good moisture and chemical resistance, and strong environmental durability.

Features

  • Up to 50% faster processing than alternative black resins
  • True black color off the machine
  • Smooth surface finish
  • Higher moisture and chemical resistance
  • Environmental durability tested to SAE J2527
  • Minimal finishing
