WHY QTS RIGID HT120 OUTPERFORMS COMPETITORS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Q: Is the 100°C thermal treatment mandatory?
A: Yes, it is essential to fully cross-link the polymer and achieve the rated 120°C heat resistance.
Q: Can I use this for injection molding?
A: Yes, it is excellent for short-run injection mold inserts for low-temperature plastics like PP, PE, or TPE.
Q: How does it compare to QTS ENGR High Temp (270°C)?
A: ENGR High Temp offers higher thermal resistance (270°C) but HT120 provides superior rigidity and a pure white finish, making it better for structural parts that don't reach extreme temperatures.

HOW TO USE - BEST PRACTICES
- PREPARATION: Shake the resin gently before use. Store in a cool, dark place (15-35°C).
- CLEANING: Clean parts with 95% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or specialized cleaner for a maximum of 2 minutes (ultrasonic cleaning recommended).
- UV POST-CURING: Cure in a UV box for 10-60 minutes (depending on model thickness) to reach optimal mechanical properties.
- THERMAL TREATMENT (CRITICAL STEP): To fully activate its high-temperature resistance, the model MUST be baked in an oven at 100°C for 10 minutes after UV curing.
- SUPPORT REMOVAL: For best results, remove supports after the UV curing phase but before the final thermal treatment if the geometry allows.
PRINTER COMPATIBILITY

WHY QTS RIGID HT120 OUTPERFORMS COMPETITORS
- VS. STANDARD TOUGH RESINS: Standard tough resins often soften at temperatures above 50°C. HT120 remains rigid up to 120°C.
- VS. FDM ABS/NYLON: HT120 provides isotropic strength and much higher detail resolution than FDM-printed engineering plastics.
- DIMENSIONAL ACCURACY: The low-shrinkage formula ensures that complex assemblies fit perfectly every time.
