Product details

Tough high impact for fixtures and tooling

Resin that allows to produce functional parts that require high stiffness with a good surface finish and high impact resistance. Attributes are similar to Polypropylene (PP). This material is resistant to impact stress and is ideal for tooling applications, manufacturing aids, housings and consumer applications such as insoles.

LOCTITE 3D 3172 is designed for creating functional parts needing high stiffness, excellent surface finish, and superior impact resistance. It is suitable for manufacturing components that can undergo machining, tapping, or polishing, providing durability and mechanical properties akin to polypropylene.

Key Mechanical Properties

Tensile Stress at Break (MPa): 39
Young’s Modulus (MPa): 1500
Elongation at Break (%): 73
IZOD Impact (Notched) (J/m): 52
HDT at 0.455 MPa (°C): 100

Benefits of LOCTITE 3D 3172:

Tough & Durable
Superior Impact Strength
Nice Surface Finish, Machinable

Ideal Applications:

Manufacturing Aids / Jigs & Fixtures
Housings
Insoles

CLEANING

LOCTITE 3D 3172 GY requires cleaning to achieve specified properties. Prior to post curing, support structures should be removed from the printed part, and the part should then be washed. Use compressed air to remove residual solvent from the surface of the material between intervals.

Post Process Step	Agent	Method	Duration	Intervals	Additional Info
Cleaning	IPA	Ultrasonic	2.5 min	2	Allow parts to dry between intervals
Dry	n.a.	Compressed air	20 s	2	Air pressure (55psi)
