WaterShed® XC 11122 and WaterClear® Ultra 10122

Parts created with WaterShed® XC 11122 are near colorless and look more like true, clear engineered thermoplastic, making it ideal for lens housings or prototypes where lighting applications need to be tested. Equally as important, this revolutionary material produces parts with outstanding water resistance and high dimensional stability. Under high-moisture/high-humidity conditions, competitive materials can change dimensionally, but WaterShed® XC 11122 remains stable and intact, which is why it is the industry’s preferred choice for fluid flow analysis applications.

When it comes to choosing a resin that will meet your high performance expectations, don’t settle for anything less than the best.

Color and Light Testing
Using a colorimeter (an instrument used to measure the amount of color and light able to pass through plastic), percent light transmission values were compared between WaterClear® Ultra and various plastic samples, including a competitive polycarbonate-like SL resin and acrylic.  Transmission data (see above) showed WaterClear® Ultra closely mirrored the behavior of the high clarity acrylic.
