Cheapest Flexible Resin Prices
Flexible resin cures to a rubber-like state, perfect for gaskets, seals, grips, wearable items, and parts that need to bend or compress without cracking. Shore hardness ranges from 40A to 80A depending on formulation. Can be blended with standard resin to tune stiffness. Typical price: $45-90/L.
About Flexible Resin
Flexible resin is a specialty material ranging from $45-90/L, reflecting its niche applications. Siraya Tech Tenacious and Resione F69 are among the more affordable options at $45-60/L, while premium formulations with specific Shore hardness ratings can reach $70-90/L.
Flexible resin can be printed on its own for fully flexible parts, or blended with standard resin to tune the final stiffness. A popular ratio is 50/50 with standard resin for semi-flexible results. This blending approach also cuts costs since you're only using half as much of the expensive flexible resin.
Common Uses for Flexible Resin
Flexible resin is designed for custom gaskets, seals, and O-rings, ergonomic grips and handles, wearable prototypes and watchbands, vibration-dampening mounts, and shoe insoles or custom orthotics.
Frequently Asked Questions
How flexible is flexible resin?
It depends on the formulation. Shore hardness typically ranges from 40A (very soft, like a pencil eraser) to 80A (firm, like a shoe sole). You can also blend flexible resin with standard resin to achieve intermediate flexibility levels.
Can I mix flexible resin with standard resin?
Yes, this is a common technique. Mixing 20-50% flexible resin with standard resin creates semi-flexible parts that resist cracking without being fully rubbery. Experiment with ratios to find the right balance of flexibility and rigidity for your application.
