Product Data Sheet
Somos WaterShed
XC 11122
Description
DSMs Somos WaterShed XC 11122 is a low viscosity liquid photopolymer
that produces strong, tough, water-resistant, ABS-like parts. Most
importantly, parts created with Somos WaterShed XC 11122 are nearly
colorless, and look more like true, clear engineered plastic.
In addition, Somos WaterShed XC 11122 has been formulated with the
Somos Oxetane Advantage an advanced chemistry platform that
produces parts with outstanding water resistance and high dimensional
stability.
Applications
This ABS-like photopolymer is used in solid imaging processes, like
stereolithography, to build three-dimensional parts. Somos WaterShed
XC 11122 offers many properties that mimic traditional engineering plastics,
including ABS and PBT. This makes the material ideal for many applications
in the automotive, medical and consumer electronic markets and include
lenses, packaging, water flow analysis, RTV patterns, durable concept
models, wind tunnel testing and investment casting patterns.
