Ultracur EL60 by BASF (Forward AM) is a highly versatile reactive urethane photopolymer from the Flexible line. This innovative resin is engineered for highly elastic applications, boasting impressive torsional strength and elongation at break. With a Shore hardness of 75 A, EL60 combines high softness with a low water uptake of only 0.60% after 24 hours, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring durability and comfort.

The material properties of Ultracur EL60 highlight its suitability for demanding uses. Featuring a rebound resilience of 21% and an elongation at break of 95%, this resin is designed to withstand dynamic stresses while maintaining its structural integrity. Its minimal compression set over time further enhances its longevity and reliability, making it particularly advantageous for products that undergo regular deformation, such as footwear, cushioning pads, and flexible grips.

The Ultracur3D resins from BASF exhibit high light sensitivity, so they should always be stored in their closed container and away from light.

Before starting a print, it is necessary to shake the resin well and, if possible, place it under vacuum to eliminate any bubbles that may have formed.

Once printed, the cleaning of the parts must be done with isopropyl alcohol. It is recommended to submerge the parts in a container with isopropyl alcohol and place this container inside an ultrasonic cleaner for 4 minutes. It is advisable not to immerse the part for extended periods to avoid deformation and softening.

After cleaning, the parts should dry for 30 minutes at 40 ºC. Once dry, the parts printed with BASF Ultracur3D resins should cure at room temperature to achieve optimal properties. The curing conditions will depend on the characteristics of the printer used and the curing equipment.
