Flame Retardant Resin: Fire Performance Without Compromising on Finish

Using IPFL’s Flame Retardant Resin, we provide solutions for aerospace, automotive, rail, and electronics applications where fire safety is non-negotiable. Our SLA systems deliver high resolution parts with an incomparable surface finish, closer to injection moulding than typical 3D printed output.

Benefit from a halogen-free, self-extinguishing photopolymer that meets recognised flame retardant and low-smoke-toxicity standards, giving you a genuine route to fire-resistant performance without switching to metal or waiting on injection tooling.

Select Flame Retardant Resin for projects that need to meet:

  • Fire-resistant standards: formulated to meet recognised flame-retardant and low-smoke-toxicity ratings
  • Halogen-free requirements: suited to environments where material composition is under scrutiny
  • Heat resistance under load: maintains stiffness and dimensional stability in warm environments
  • High stiffness demands: strong tensile and flexural performance for functional, load-bearing parts

Why use our Flame Retardant Resin?

Genuine fire safety performance, not just a heat-resistant substitute

  • Isotropic parts with a finish quality that reduces post-print work
  • Can be tapped, drilled, and trimmed after printing, so parts go straight into assembly

At a glance:

  • Fire-Resistant Rated
  • Self-Extinguishing
  • Halogen-Free
  • Heat Resistant
  • High Stiffness
  • Excellent Surface Finish

 

Advantages & Uses

  • Fire-resistant rated, formulated to meet recognised flame-retardant standards
  • Self-extinguishing and halogen-free, won’t sustain or propagate flame
  • Heat and creep resistant, maintains dimensional stability under sustained load
  • High stiffness for functional, load-bearing parts
  • Excellent surface finish, closer to injection moulding than 3D printing
  • Post-processable, suitable for tapping, drilling, and trimming after printing
