Durable Fluoropolymer Coatings for SLA 3D Printing and Resin Tray Protection
CyclAFlor® Shield is a specialty fluoropolymer that is ideal as a protective coating for resin trays in stereolithographic 3D printing systems, enhancing tray durability, surface uniformity, and printing consistency. Key benefits include:
Chemical Inertness
CyclAFlor Shield will not react with photopolymer resins, including specialized or experimental formulations. This allows the use of virtually any 3D printing resin, giving additive manufacturers more flexibility in material selection without compromising tray integrity or print quality.
Ultra-Low Surface Energy
Eliminates peel forces when separating 3D printed parts from the build platform, helping prevent print defects and resin tray damage.
UV Transparency
Allows full UV light transmission for accurate, high-resolution photopolymer curing.
Crack and Scratch Resistance
Maintains integrity under repetitive mechanical stress, extending tray life and minimizing equipment downtime.
Easy Application
Soluble in perfluorinated solvents like CyclaSolv®, CyclAFlor Shield is easy to apply using dip or spin coating techniques for uniform, durable coverage.
Specialty Polymers for SLA Additive Manufacturing
CyclAFlor Shield expands possibilities in stereolithographic printing – supporting a wide range of resin chemistries and hardware platforms. Easy to apply and engineered for durability, it’s a smart choice if you want to optimize SLA throughput and performance.
