Easy to Post-Process
Form Wash Settings:
- Duration: 6 minutes
- Notes: Ensure not to exceed 6 minutes in solvent to avoid degrading the final part's quality.
Form Cure Settings:
- Duration: 120 minutes
- Temperature: 80°C
- Notes:
- High Temp V2 resin offers various post-curing options; refer to the technical data sheet for guidance on how different settings impact mechanical properties.
- For the maximum HDT of 238°C @ 0.45 MPa:
- Cure in Form Cure for 120 minutes at 80°C.
- Then, thermally cure in a non-food oven at 160°C for 3 hours.
- For applications requiring lower heat resistance, a 60-minute cure at 60°C is recommended.

There are several post-curing options for High Temp V2. Refer to the technical data sheet to understand how different options affect mechanical properties, and choose the post-cure option that is best suited to the intended application. To achieve the highest HDT of 238 °C @ 0.45 MPa: (1) Post-cure parts in Form Cure for 120 min at 80 °C. (2) Thermally post-cure parts in a non-food oven for 3 hours at 160 °C. For applications that do not require the maximum heat resistance, post-cure parts in Form Cure for 60 min at 60 °C. |
