Additive Manufacturing Material Revolution

AcryGen Additive

Nanomaterial masterbatch in an Acrylic resin:

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection properties

  • AcryGen additive enable ultra low dosage levels starting with 0.5 wt.% (actual conductive nano particle loading levels starting from 0.005 wt.%) to achieve the required ESD protection ((105 – 106 Ohm/sq)
  • Supports vibrant colors with superior ESD properties
  • Greater optical clarity enable UV curing
  • Significant microwave absorption supports microwave and induction curing
  • Uniform dispersion and distribution of fillers eliminate hotspots
  • Glossy surface without significant viscosity and density increase
  • Maintain and even improve mechanical strength

Mechanical Property Improvements

  • Decrease the brittleness and shrinkage stress by formulating your acrylic resins with AcryGen (1-2 wt.%). In conventional acrylic curing, highly crosslinked glassy networks are structurally heterogeneous and highly brittle.
  • AcryGen helps improvement in tensile strength and toughness by using our well-dispersed nanomaterials ( < 2 wt. % of AcryGen concentration, actual nano filler loading levels are less than 0.05 wt.%)
