Product Description
DSM Somos® 9100 is a high-speed liquid photopolymer that produces robust, functional and accurate parts using stereolithography machines. It has a wide processing latitude and excellent tolerance to a broad temperature and humidity range during and after build as well as offering superior chemical resistance. Somos® 9100 offers a good balance of properties between rigidity and functionality. This material is especially useful in applications where durability and robustness are critical requirements (e.g., automobile components, electronic housings, medical products, large panels and snap-fit parts).
