dichtol or clear varnish?
The specialist blog drucktipps3d.de was faced with this question – and took a close look at our products dichtol AM Hydro and dichtol AM UV Protection.
Both products are ideal for sealing additively manufactured components and make them gas and water-tight. With dichtol AM UV Protection, we also offer a variant that also protects 3D-printed objects from UV radiation and other external environmental influences.
Practical test with clear criteria
In a detailed product test, the team analysed how our dichtol sealants prove themselves in the everyday lives of 3D printing users. The criteria assessed included
- Odour
- Consistency
- Processing
- Handling
- Appearance
The aim was to compare the performance of our solutions with commercially available clear lacquer – especially under the specific requirements of FDM 3D printing.
For this comparison, various components were additively manufactured and sealed with our product.
The conclusion:
The report provides honest and exciting insights for anyone involved in the post-processing of 3D printed parts. It clearly shows where dichtol’s strengths lie – and how our products clearly stand out from simple coating solutions.
