Ultracur3D® RG 50 BASF - 1000 ml

Use of BASF Ultracur3D RG50 resin

BASF resins are photosensitive resins developed for 3D printers using DLP/LCD, MSLA resins.

The RG series is the most rigid and hardest resin range, suitable for the most demanding applications requiring high rigidity without deformation.

RG resins have the highest flexural modulus in our Ultracur3D range and the highest thermal stability. They are specifically developed to offer first-class tensile strength and stiffness, as well as high print accuracy with low shrinkage. Prints made with RG resin have low water absorption and are easy to polish, speeding up design iterations and reducing your development costs.

BASF RG 50 resin: key strengths

High rigidity: Ultracur3D RG50 resin from BASF represents an excellent compromise between strength and rigidity. With a high flexural modulus and tensile strength, this RG50 resin offers excellent stability in use due to its low shrinkage rate. It provides useful performance for all kinds of prototyping applications, functional parts or your most demanding miscellaneous applications.

Low deformation: Ultracur3D RG50 urethane resins are among the most resistant to traction and flexion, with a maximum elongation rate of 4% and very low water absorption. It is also the resin with the highest hardness.

Water resistance (cleaning): As RG50 resins are not very sensitive to water, they can be used for applications in damp environments without losing performance or dimensional accuracy. The other advantage of this low sensitivity to water is that it can be used to clean your parts.

Our recommendations for use with RG 50 resin

Ultracur3D RG 50 resins are photoreactive and therefore sensitive to UV light. They should be protected from light as soon as they are opened, and stored in a dark place. We recommend that you wear gloves when handling the resin.

Shake your bottle of resin before use and leave it to stand for a few minutes after filling your printing tank (allow time for the bubbles to disappear). To find out which exposure parameters are best suited to your 3D printer for this RG50 resin, don't hesitate to consult our dedicated articles on the community.

After cleaning with alcohol or water and drying for a few moments, don't forget to complete the post-treatment process by passing through a UV chamber in order to obtain the advertised performance (around 20 minutes depending on size and thickness).
