SuperPP
SuperPP is a photopolymer resin that emulates the mechanical and chemical properties of polypropylene (PP). It provides a unique combination of chemical resistance, flexibility, and toughness, making it suitable for parts that require durability and impact resistance, along with some flexibility. SuperPP is designed to offer low shrinkage and high dimensional stability, addressing typical resin weaknesses like brittleness and warping.
Benefits
Excellent chemical resistance
Good impact resistance and toughness
Moderate flexibility
Low shrinkage and warpage
Resistant to moisture and environmental degradation
Limitations
Requires thorough post-curing
Surface can be prone to scratching
Potential brittleness for thin parts
Industries
SuperPP finds its niche in consumer goods, automotive prototyping, electronics housings, and medical device prototyping, especially where chemical resistance and moderate flexibility are required. Common applications include snap-fit connectors, living hinges, flexible clips, durable prototypes.
