SuperRigid viscosity?

What is the viscosity of SuperRigid and for which temperature?

You are advertising the following about SuperRigid on Amazon CA, UK, DE… (ASIN B08RWFY3B9) and elsewhere like Instagram, quote: "Despite the high ceramic content, it maintains ultra-low viscosity of just 120 mPas, ensuring fast printing and easy post-processing."

But the 120 mPA.s figure is given without the temperature. What is it?

As it happens, there is another competing white ceramic-like resin fr|om Phrozen, which has the exact same viscosity according to their TDS: 120 mPa.s @ 30C. 

By experience, the Phrozen resin is very thin, no more viscous than a typical ABS-like resin, in line with their low advertised viscosity value of 120 mPA.s @ 30C. 

However, your SuperRigid resin in not thin at all! It is the most viscous resin I have ever tried, to the point it can barely work. It looks like a thick syrup. Despite an ambient temperature of 27C I had to heat it up to 45C in a heated mixer before pouring it into the vat. Even so, I had to stir the bottle with a glass stirring rod to get the ceramic goop off the bottom and sides of the bottle so it would mix properly, and even so, the resin filler separates and precipitates quickly.

Thus, it is impossible that SuperRigid could have a viscosity of only 120 mPa.s as advertised on your promotional material. 

Therefore, I begin to wonder if your figures may have a typo with perhaps a forgotten zero, and the real SuperRigid viscosity @ 25C or 30C is more like 1200 mPA.s, not 120 mPA.s. 

Can you please confirm and clarify this mystery?

"8.0 GPa flexural modules" on Amazon and advertisign material on your web site

"3823 MPa flexural modulus" in the TDS

Why the enormous discrepancy, and which is the correct value?

Thank you so much for the comment on
SuperRigid TDS.

The flexural modulus on TDS was measured
right after post-curing as stated in TDS,

The flexural modulus 8.0GPa mentioned in
product description was measured after heat treatment 80C for 48 hours, or 1
week later after print.

The
flexural modulus increases fr|om 3.8GPa gradually and reaches the highest 8.0GPa
in a week.

We appreciate your comments, we will add
this explanation to User Guide Tip section as you point out.

Thank you and have a great day,

Thank you for asking . 

we attached user guide for setting. 

if there isn't information you are looking for, please let us know what product are you going to use.

then we will reocmmend setting for you. 

Your wrote that the resin is made of "ceramic (non-SiO2) and SiO2 powder. Inorganic content is 40%." What is the respective percentage of ceramic (non-SiO2) and glass (SiO2) in these 40%?

Your wrote that the resin is made of "ceramic (non-SiO2) and SiO2 powder. Inorganic content is 40%." What is the respective percentage of ceramic (non-SiO2) and glass (SiO2) in these 40%?

SuperRigid contains 20% of fume silica which is 100% SiO2 

and 20% of micro ceramic powder mainly SiO2 with other ceramic.

The exact formulation of micro powder are proprietary of supplier.

I bought two bottles and i cant`'t find exposure settings anywhere.... Please help! TY

thank you for leaving a message. 

Could you let us know the name of resin?

because setting is different according to resin. 

if you let us know what resin you use, we will check and let you know. 

thank you and have a good day.  

Amazon indicates it contains 40% ceramic, so I am hopeful it can withstand such heat for an extended period

I thought the volume of each container was 500 ml. I now notice the weight is 500g. What is the density of this material? Alternatively, what volume is in each container?

Each resin has a little bit different density, so we are bottling the resins by kg weight.
The resin density of SuperRigid is 1.20g/mL

The insert that came with the bottle of SuperRigid lists exposure times, but nothing about:

layer thickess

rising height

motor speed

light off delay

bottom layer count

and also lacks shrinkage compensation data for each axis.

In this case, the printer is a Creality Halot-Mage.

Also, exposure times may be different than for the Halot-One listed on the insert, and if so I'd appreciate knowing the correct exposure values, too.

On this site, the SuperRigid is listed as being 50% glass filled. On Amazon, it's listed at being 40% cermaic filled. Which is correct, if either?

The right content is 40% and it contains both ceramic (non-SiO2) and SiO2 powder. Inorganic content is 40%.

Thank you so much for the correction. 

What is the thermal expansion coefficient (µm/m-°C) of the SuperRigid resin? In my application, this is the only important characteristic; rigidity is secondary.

Hello, thank you for using SuperPP.

Yes, HDT (heat deflection temperature) of SuperPP is not high.

All tough resins and polymers have HDT around 50C ~ 80C.

SuperPP is designed for toughness not for high HDT.

If you need high HDT, please try SuperHDT which has HDT of 240C.

Many resins become brittle at tempretures below freezing. Is that the case for this material as well or does the glass fill prevent mitigate this?  Can it be mixed with other resins such as SuperFlex?

Thanks

Thanks

All plastic and 3D printed parts becomes brittle at lower temperature, specially below Tg (glass transition temperature) of resins. The glass fill will not mitigate this phenomenon. However, The Tg of SuperRigid is much higher than other resin, the brittleness will not dramatically change at below freezing temperature.

All our resins including SuperFlex and SuperRigid are miscible with each other.
