overview highly elastic, tear resistant, and resilient epu 40 offers a combination of tear strength, moderate energy return/damping, and elongation making it perfect for vibration isolation, gaskets, and seals it is a good choice for applications where high elasticity and tear resistance are needed it is comparable to commercial tpus with a shore a hardness of 70 epu 40 example resource links about the material material overview and uses cases technical data sheet mechanical properties and data safety data sheet login required protocol sheet this downloadable pdf provides important usage information, including instructions about hardware storage resin dispensing & printing washing curing example protocol sheet print it out and bring it into the lab english german/deutsch spanish/español japanese/日本語 crystallization uneven resin flow and a swirling, sparkling appearance when dispensing epu 40 is a sign that the part a resin component has crystallized as a result of storage below recommended temperatures crystallized epu 40 remove the green stopper on the cartridge and look for evidence of crystal formation around the rim of the part a resin component opening (larger side of the cartridge) if you don't see any crystals on the rim but want to check more thoroughly, dip a thin spatula 1 cm into the resin component, remove the spatula, and inspect the component if crystallization is present, incubate cartridges per resin protocols in an oven or incubator
