Product Information

INFINAM® ST 6100 L

HIGH STRENGTH AND HEAT RESISTANT PHOTOPOLYMER FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

INFINAM® ST 6100 L resin is a black-colored easy to process (low viscosity, 1-part system) liquid photopolymer formulation.
The fully cured material exhibits excellent mechanical properties (high strength combined with elongation) and high
temperature resistance.

Storage conditions
INFINAM® ST 6100 L resin is a light-sensitive product protected by its original packaging. Store product in a dry location
with optimum storage temperature of 10-30 °C. Storage beyond this recommended temperature range can adversely affect
both print and product properties. Exposure of the liquid formulation to daylight and especially UV light should be minimized
during storage and handling to ensure consistent print quality.

Material handling recommendations

Resin preparation

 Shake the bottle of INFINAM® ST 6100 L for ca. 30 sec until the material is homogenous before filling into the printer
 The resin needs to be bubble free prior to printing: allow the resin to rest before printing in order to allow air bubbles
to dissipate (prior degassing of the resin can help to expedite this process)

Print settings

 INFINAM® ST 6100 L is designed to print optimally on digital light processing (DLP) and LCD machines at 385 or 405 nm
(see table below for exposure time) and is also compatible with stereolithography (SLA) printers
 At 405 nm: Critical exposure energy Ec = 8 mJ/cm2 - Depth of penetration Dp = 170 µm
 It is advisable to use standard separation speed (e.g. peeling and separation speed of 2–3 mm/s)

Wavelength (nm) Intensity (mW/cm2) Layer thickness (µm) Burn-in exposure time (s) Layer exposure time (s)

385 9 100 10 5

385 9 50 3 2

405 11 100 9 4

405 11 50 3 2

Support structures settings

 INFINAM® ST 6100 L is designed to be printed with support contact size of 0.2–0.5 mm for easy support removal from
printed parts
 For complex geometries, lattice support structure is recommended to ensure high print success rate

Washing procedure

 Wash printed parts with isopropanol (IPA) to remove uncured resin and use compressed air to accelerate the removal of
residual solvent from the surface of the parts
 Recommended wash cycles: rinse 2-3 times (each rinse for 1-2 min) until excess resin has been completely removed
 Let the parts dry for at least 30 min before the next post-processing step
 Contact with washing fluids like IPA should be minimized, as prolonged immersion or sonication of the uncured parts
may result in loss in the mechanical properties: do not exceed more than 10 min total exposure to IPA
 When support structures are used, they should typically be removed before post-curing

Post-curing procedures

 After washing, the parts should be post-cured in order to achieve specified properties
 Below are two recommended procedures (it is recommended to flip printed parts once during UV-curing):

Method UV-curing Thermal-curing

Option 1 405 nm lamp (LED, 40 W) at 80 °C for 120 min 80 °C for 120 min

Option 2 Broad-spectrum lamp (metal-halide, 400 W) for 20 min -

Note: TDS values with their ranges, as reported in this document, were obtained following Option 1 with minimal exposure
to IPA (using wipes wetted with IPA). In order to achieve a HDT of 120 °C, it is recommended, for the thermal-curing, to use
a higher temperature (110 °C instead of 80 °C). In Option 2, thermal-curing is induced in the post-curing apparatus due to
the high intensity of the lamp, although temperature control is not possible.

Long term environmental stability

INFINAM® ST 6100 L was tested for its stability towards indoor and outdoor weathering conditions. The method is intended
to reproduce the weathering effects that occur when the material is exposed to either solar radiation through glass (indoor
conditions, ASTM D4459, Q-Sun) or to sunlight and moisture as rain or dew (outdoor conditions, ASTM G154, Cycle 1, QUV).

Note: For the indoor method, it is possible to infer that accelerated weathering times of 400 and 800 hours correspond to
ca. 5 and 10 years of ageing in normal conditions, respectively. For the outdoor method, it is possible to infer that accelerated
weathering times of 600 and 1200 hours correspond to ca. 12 and 24 months of ageing in normal conditions, respectively.
