Partnership expanded
Henkel and Carbon launch new resin on the market
Henkel and Carbon have announced the expansion of their strategic partnership, with new resins expected to be available on Carbon's Idea-to-Production platform from 2023.
The expansion of the partnership builds on the successful launch in 2020 of Loctite Ind405 Clear, a robust, clear resin used in the production of enclosures and cladding.
The new resin, Loctite Ind147, whose compatibility with carbon technology was validated with the launch of Formnext 2022 on Nov. 15, is a photopolymer resin with high strength and temperature resistance. It was developed for product designers and engineers who need a quick and easy way to print molds, fixtures and finished tools with smooth surfaces that can be used at high temperatures in industrial, consumer goods and automotive markets.
The strategic partnership combines Carbon's open materials platform and DLS printing process with Henkel's materials expertise to offer customers an expanded portfolio of resins while also expanding manufacturing capabilities for end-use parts. Further resins are also expected to be available from 2023.
"The expansion of our partnership with Carbon builds on the success we have achieved together and builds on our focus on production applications and improved end-use parts for our customers," explains Sam Bail, Director of 3D Printing Sales at Henkel. "Carbon's platform enables us to offer Loctite 3D Printing's unique industrial resins, creating greater value for our customers."
"We have shared many successes with Henkel and are very excited to further expand our partnership with new resins," adds Jason Rolland, SVP of Materials at Carbon. "With this partnership, Carbon offers the most comprehensive portfolio of single- and dual-cure resins in the industry, providing customers with an open solution to make better products in less time."
