Elastic 50A Resin V2 is a soft, translucent elastomer with a 50A Shore durometer that is ideal for prototyping parts normally produced with softer rubbers and silicones.
Parts printed in Elastic 50A Resin will bend, stretch, compress, and hold up to repeated cycles without tearing, and spring back quickly to their original shape.

Elastic 50A Resin v2 is an elastomeric material with high elongation and high energy return. Parts are highly elastic, yet strong enough not to tear during printing.
Bend, stretch, and compress parts that resume their normal shape afterwards.
Able to withstand rugged use for multiple cycles.
Create objects that are clear, providing visibility into the model.
Produce parts that look and feel like a molded silicone part.
Elastic 50A Resin V2 is ideal for developing soft, flexible prototypes normally produced with silicone.
Consider Elastic 50A Resin V2 for:
Elastic 50A Resin V2
Ultimate Tensile Strength
3.4 MPaStress at 50% Elongation
0.9 MPaStress at 100% Elongation
1.7 MPaElongation
160%Tear Strength
12.3 kN/mHardness Shore A

NOTES
Wash Elastic 50A Resin V2 for 10 minutes on the build platform. Remove parts from the build platform, then wash for 10 more minutes using fresh solvent. Avoid washing Elastic 50A Resin V2 for longer than 20 minutes, as this may degrade parts.

NOTES
There is only one recommended post-curing time for Elastic 50A Resin V2. Fully submerge the dry parts in water in a glass beaker placed inside Form Cure.
