What is the Oxetane Advantage™?
In 2001, Somos utilized a novel chemistry platform based on oxetane chemistry
to develop WaterShed® 11120 (today's best-selling, lowest water absorption,
ABS-like resin on the market).
Related to the epoxy chemistry family, oxetane chemistry produces faster
photospeeds, higher green strength, and better resistance to moisture (higher
dimensional stability). In short, it is a signficant advancement in SL
chemistry potential.
Today, Somos continues to formulate new SL materials
with the Oxetane Advantage, as well as invest in the innovation and
development of even newer chemistry platforms that will continue to expand
stereolithography material capabilities into the future.
