The Flame Retardant HDT resin from the Liqcreate catalog of engineering 3D printing resins is a rigid (Shore 88-89 D) off-white photopolymer compatible with most open-material SLA, DLP and LCD 3D printers in the 385-420 nm range. The FR HDT resin's key features are its high temperature resistance and self-extinguishing properties (UL 94 V0).

The Flame Retardant HDT resin has very high heat deflection temperature. The HDT-A (@ 1.80 MPa) of this material when UV-cured at 60 ºC for 60 minutes is 137 ºC and up to 145 ºC when cured for 120 minutes. The HDT-B (0.45 MPa) of of parts UV-cured at 60 ºC for 60 minutes is 237 ºC and it can reach even 257 ºC when cured twice as long.

Thanks to the high heat deflection temperature and flame retardant properties of this material, parts 3D printed with the Flame Retardant HDT resin are ideal for applications in the automotive industry (interior parts), in airplanes, trains and electronic devices. Another potential application would be tooling, covers, housings, etc.

The Liqcreate resin bottles should be stored in a clean and dry environment, out of direct sunlight and in a temperature of 5-30 ºC. Before use, the resin bottle should be shaken energetically for at least 1 minute (at least 3 minutes in the case of filled resins). Once shaken, the resin should be left to rest for around 10 minutes to let the air bubble escape. Leftover resin can be poured back into the bottle but it should be first filtered to ensure there is no polymer residue present. Safety equipment such as protective garments, gloves and face protection is highly recommended for the handling of resin.

The post-processing workflow for the FR HDT resin is quite user-friendly. First, the 3D printed part has to be cleaned in Liqcreate Resin Cleaner, IPA alcohol or bioethanol, preferably ultrasonic or under agitation. Then the completely dried part has to be cured in a high-power UV curing chamber. The curing workflow is explained in detail by the manufacturer here. It absolutely crucial that the parts are dry before they are cured. The curing of wet or sticky parts will lead to mechanical and surface defects. The drying can be done by simply leaving the cleaned part in a well ventilated area for at least 30 minutes or with the help of pressurized air (2 minutes) for parts cleaned in IPA alcohol or ethanol.
