FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Q: Is this resin as soft as silicone?
A: It has a Shore 45A hardness, which is firmer than soft silicone (like Flex 8A) but softer than a car tire. It feels like a high-quality rubber grip or a gasket.
Q: Can I use this for airtight seals?
A: Yes! The high precision and isotropic properties of resin printing make Flex 45A excellent for creating custom airtight and watertight gaskets.
Q: Why is the viscosity higher than other resins?
A: The higher viscosity is a result of the high-molecular-weight polymers used to achieve its superior tear resistance and durability.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
- Wavelength: 395nm - 405nm
- Shore Hardness: 45A (Medium Rubber-Like)
- Tensile Strength: 1.1 MPa
- Tear Strength: 1.24 KN/m
- Viscosity: 4000 ~ 6000 cps @ 25°C
- Color: Opaque Black
- Shelf Life: 12 months (unopened)
- Volume: 500g
HOW TO USE - BEST PRACTICES
- PREPARATION: Shake the resin thoroughly for 1-2 minutes before use. Due to its higher viscosity, ensure the resin is at room temperature (20-30°C) for optimal flow.
- PRINTING: Use adequate support density and slower lift speeds (e.g., 40-60 mm/min) to ensure successful peeling of elastic layers.
- CLEANING: Clean parts immediately with 95% isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Use a soft brush to remove residue from intricate details.
- UV POST-CURING: MANDATORY. To achieve the best mechanical properties and a dry, professional finish, UV cure in a 365-405nm box for 10-60 minutes.

WHY QTS FLEXIBLE 45A OUTPERFORMS COMPETITORS
- VS. STANDARD SOFT RESINS: Most soft resins are too translucent or tacky. QTS 45A provides a true opaque black matte finish that is dry to the touch.
- VS. FDM TPU: 3D printed resin parts offer much higher detail and better airtight/watertight properties compared to FDM-printed TPU, making them superior for gaskets and seals.
- SAFETY STANDARDS: Our TPO-free formula is safer for the user and the environment compared to many budget resins on the market.
