DSM's Somos ® 9420 is a liquid photopolymer that produces robust, functional and accurate parts using stereolithography machines. The material offers superior chemical resistance and a wide processing latitude. With mechanical properties that mimic many engineering plastics, parts created from Somos ® 9420 exhibit superior fatigue resistance, strong memory retention and high quality up-facing and down-facing surfaces. Somos ® 9420 also offers a good balance of properties between rigidity and functionality.
Application This photopolymer is used in solid imaging processes, like stereolithography, to build three-dimensional parts. This material is also useful in creating parts for applications where durability and robustness are critical requirements (e.g., automobile components, electronic housings, medical products, large panels and snap-fit parts).
