Innovative impregnation for 3D printed components: Dichtol AM Hydro

Dichtol AM Hydro is an interesting development in the field of additive manufacturing. This high-performance, low-viscosity polymer offers an effective solution for making 3D-printed components gas- and liquid-tight. It has been specially developed for common 3D printing processes, including both filament and powder-based manufacturing processes.

In contrast to conventional sealants, which only provide superficial protection, Dichtol AM Hydro penetrates deep into the pores of the printed parts and hardens there, anchoring itself firmly in the material. This process not only ensures reliable sealing at changing temperatures, but also improves the basic properties of the workpieces, such as their resistance to dirt and dimensional stability.

What makes Dichtol AM Hydro so special is its ease of application and flexibility. It is a solvent-free, water-based 1-component system that is easy to apply manually without the need for additional machines or equipment. By immersing the printed objects in the polymer, even hard-to-reach areas are securely sealed. After curing, the polymer remains colorless, which does not affect the aesthetics of the component and at the same time increases protection against dirt deposits.

Dichtol AM Hydro is therefore an ideal solution for a wide range of materials in additive manufacturing, especially for PLA, ASA, ABS and polyamide, and opens up new possibilities in terms of the durability and quality of 3D-printed components.
