TC-1614 A/B is an unfilled high solids content epoxy resin system. It is designed to seal porous to semi-porous substrates developing remarkable strength. As the penetrative depth increases the TC-1614 A/B also has exceptional adhesive characteristics and is capable of continued use at temperatures up to 350°F. It can be used at temperatures up to 400°F intermittently.
Popular infiltrant sealer for FDM parts and other 3D printed technologies.
Goal: Strengthen ABS part and give it a glossy finish.
