Elastomeric Materials
EPU 41
6 min
overview highly elastic, tear resistant, and energy returning epu 41 is a production scale elastomeric material that is especially well suited for lattices where high resiliency is needed epu 41 has higher resilience (energy return) and better retention of elastomeric properties at temperatures > 10°c it is comparable to commercial tpus with a shore a hardness of 70 epu 41 example resource links https //www carbon3d com/materials/epu 41 material overview and uses cases https //docs carbon3d com/files/technical data sheets/tds carbon epu 41 pdf mechanical properties and data https //www carbon3d com/stewardship login required protocol sheet this downloadable handout provides important usage information, including instructions about compatible hardware, storage, resin dispensing, washing and curing print it out and bring it into the lab english german/deutsch spanish/español thermal processing some resins may crystallize or freeze at lower temperatures requiring a thermal processing step, also known as incubation, prior to dispensing reference this downloadable pdf for instructions part b salt crystals epu 41 part b can form salt crystals when left open in contact with air, or when liquid material is left around the mouth of the container avoid formation of salt crystals on rim of part b container with simple lab practices wipe mouth of container to clean off any resin prior to closing cap keep container closed when not in use part b loaded in an mmd counts as a closed container salt crystals on rim of part b container
