Figure 4 Tough Clear balances optical clarity with structural strength. The material provides a tensile strength of 52 MPa and 12.3% elongation at break, allowing parts to absorb load without cracking. In addition, a flexural strength of 72 MPa and a 2200 MPa modulus support rigid geometries while maintaining light transmission. Post-processing methods such as polishing or clear coating improve transparency without degrading mechanical performance.
This durable clear SLA material withstands repeated handling and chemically exposed environments. In addition, a Shore D hardness of 81 helps resist surface damage, while chemical resistance supports use around cleaners and automotive fluids. As a result, engineers use this clear tough 3D printing resin for functional testing, housings, and transparent components that must perform beyond visual evaluation.
Figure 4 Tough Clear maintains clarity and strength under prolonged UV exposure. Validated testing shows performance stability for up to eight years indoors and 1.5 years outdoors. This UV-stable behavior supports transparent functional photopolymer applications requiring consistent appearance and predictable mechanical performance over time.
