Light Link™ SLA Resin Made With Kynar® PVDF
Light Link™ SLA Resin Made With Kynar® PVDF
Overview:
Light Link™ SLA Resin Made With Kynar® PVDF is a novel photopolymer resin for use in DLP & SLA 3D printers at 405nm. Light Link™ combines the high resolution of SLA/DLP 3D printing with the material properties of PVDF. Compatible with most DLP, LCD, LED, SLA, MSLA, and light-based 3D printers at 405nm wavelength.
Light Link™ Mechanical Properties Surpass Most Commercial ABS-Like Resins.
Light Link™ emits low-odor, prints with ease, and uses convenient post-processing methods. Light Link™ was formulated for low shrinkage and easy removal from the build plate. Light Link™ imbues prints with a beautiful, glossy-white color. Printed parts have scratch resistant properties. Wash with IPA and post-cure with UV light, like all other 3D printed resins. There are no special printer settings or accessories required to print Light Link™ 3D printer resin. No matter the printing task at hand, Light Link™ excels at making precision prints.
Available in 0.5 & 1.0 kilogram quantities of UV photopolymer resin. Always shake well before use. Store at 15-25 °C.

How to Use:
Shake the bottle vigorously for 60 - 120 seconds before use.
Allow the resin to rest for a few minutes after shaking to allow air bubbles to dissipate before adding to the vat.
-Note: Resin can be poured back into bottle for reuse. Always use appropriate filtration methods when returning used resin to the bottle to restrict cross contamination and to exclude polymerized pieces of resin. For more information on handling the resin, see SDS and TDS.

General Print Settings:
Temperature of Resin Vat: Heated vats are not required. Light Link™ resin prints using any vat. Print between 15 - 30 °C
Normal Layer Exposure Time: 5.0 - 9.5 seconds (7.0 seconds is generally recommended)
Bottom Layer Exposure Time: 30.0 - 55.0 seconds (45.0 seconds is generally recommended)
Post-Processing:
Suggested: Wash prints using 99% Isopropyl alcohol for 5 - 10 minutes. Let air dry. UV cure for 2-10 minutes (depending on size of printed object).
Optional: For superior prints, wash prints with Isopropyl alcohol for 5 - 10 minutes. let air dry. One may carry out any physical post-processing techniques at this time, such as sanding with a fine grit sandpaper. next, place prints in a bag or container with clean Isopropyl alcohol and ultrasonicate for 5 minutes at 20 °C. Place on a microfiber cloth and let air dry. Finally, UV cure for 2-10 minutes (depending on size of printed object).
Note: To improve Bottom Layer Adhesion, gently sand the build plate of the printer. Please consult the specific printer’s guide/manual before attempting to alter the printer.

Chemical Compatibility of Light Link™
Chemical compatibility tests were conducted in accordance with ASTM D543. Unless otherwise noted, 3D printed specimens were submerged in the respective reagents for 7 days. “Reference” data was collected from test specimen which were not subjected to chemical exposure.
