QTS Flexible 8A UV Resin (500g) - World's Softest Shore 8A Silicone-Like Resin | 700% Elongation & High Tear Resistance
Experience the ultimate in 3D printing flexibility with QTS Flexible 8A. Engineered to mimic the properties of soft silicone, this revolutionary 405nm UV resin features an industry-leading Shore 8A hardness and an incredible 700% elongation at break. Whether you are developing wearable prototypes, medical simulation models, or soft robotic grippers, QTS Flexible 8A allows you to print complex, stretchable structures that can be bent, compressed, and twisted without tearing.
QTS Flexible 8A Resin
Ultra-Soft Elasticity: The Ultimate Silicone-Like Engineering Material
Experience the pinnacle of 3D printed elasticity. QTS Flexible 8A is a breakthrough ultra-soft resin designed to perfectly mimic the physical properties of high-grade silicone and soft rubber. With a Shore hardness of 8A and an industry-leading elongation of up to 700%, it offers incredible flexibility and rapid rebound, making it the ideal solution for functional parts that require extreme shock absorption and a soft-touch feel.
Key Advantages
- ▶ Extreme Shore 8A Softness: One of the softest resins available globally, providing a true silicone-like texture that is flexible, squishy, and highly resilient.
- ▶ Incredible Elongation (500% - 700%): Engineered for extreme tear resistance and superior elastic recovery. Parts can be stretched significantly without losing their original shape.
- ▶ Ultra-Low Viscosity (70-100 cps): Ensures fast printing, easy cleaning, and the ability to capture intricate details with minimal resin waste.
Why QTS Flexible 8A Outperforms Competitors?
Unlike many "flexible" resins that are actually semi-rigid or become brittle over time, QTS Flexible 8A maintains its long-term elasticity. Our specialized formula ensures that the material remains soft and "rubbery" even months after printing. Additionally, the ultra-low viscosity allows for much higher success rates on high-resolution Mono-LCD printers compared to thick, honey-like flexible resins from other brands.
Applications & Use Cases
- Industrial: Custom gaskets, seals, vibration dampeners, and soft-touch grips.
- Medical: Anatomical models that require realistic tissue-like feel and flexibility.
- Wearables: Watch bands, flexible connectors, and ergonomic pads.
- Robotics: Soft robotic grippers and flexible joints.
□️ Professional Post-Processing Guide
To achieve the best mechanical properties and a non-tacky finish:
- Cleaning: Wash in 95% IPA for 3-5 minutes. Use a soft brush for crevices.
- Water-Submerged Curing: Post-cure the part while completely submerged in water for 5-10 minutes to eliminate surface tackiness.
- Surface Finishing: Apply a light dusting of talcum powder for a professional, skin-like feel.
- Support Design: Use high-density supports to prevent model deformation during printing due to the material's softness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why is the resin yellow? A: The translucent yellow color is a characteristic of the high-performance elastic formula. It provides excellent light control for high-detail flexible prints.
Q: Can I mix this with other resins? A: Yes, you can mix it with standard resins to add toughness and flexibility, though we recommend using it pure for the full 8A silicone-like experience.
