Isopropanol is a highly volatile, flammable, colourless, clear liquid that is used to remove and dissolve uncured resin from SLA and DLP 3D printed parts. It is used in FDM 3D printing for cleaning components, build plates and smoothing certain materials. Because of its rapid evaporation, it dries quickly. Therefore, the container should not be left open any longer than necessary.

High Quality, high Purity

Isopropanol from 3D-basics is with a purity of ≥ 99.9% one of the highest in the market. It is produced, bottled and quality controlled in Austria ensuring the highest quality standards. All Isopropanol containers are labeled according to the EU Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP).

Clean M-SLA, LCD, SLA 3D Prints with ease

Isopropanol is highly effective at removing any leftover uncured resin on 3d models after printing. IPA breaks the bonds of the uncured resin making the removal quick and effective. Due to its high evaporation rate Isopropanol dries off the model in seconds. This allows for little to no downtime for any subsequential post-processing steps.

Usecases for FDM 3D Printing

Isopropanol is a very effective cleaning solution for FDM 3D-Printing Buildplates. Most effective on glass buildplates (please ensure compatibility with the manufacturer of any other type of buildplate) it removes the residue of previous prints, buildplate adhesive and more. Since it dries up in seconds the next print is just a quick swipe away. For effective printing a diluted solution of 70-80% IPA with 20-30% distilled water is recommended. Higher concentrations can be used in case of stubborn residue.

How to use Isopropanol

Always wear Nitrile Gloves when handling Isopropanol.

For removing uncured Resin from SLA or DLP printed parts fill your cleaning container with the amount specified by the manufacturer. To minimize waste it's suggested to preclean the parts.
This can be either done by using TPM Wash Solvent or an already used Isopropanol bath from previous wash cycles. This will expand the lifespan of the fresh IPA.
Place the finished print in the cleaning container and clean the parts for at least 5 min. or according to the material manufacturers guidelines. After the cleaning cycle, let the model dry and check for a tacky surface, repeat if necessary till the surface is not tacky anymore. If it's still tacky this might be a sign to replace the Isopropanol.

Advantages of Isopropanol

  • Effective solution to remove uncured resin
  • Quick evaporation speeds up drying process
  • Recommended as final solvent step for cleaning cycles
  • Preferred for Dental and Biocompatible Resins

How to store Isopropanol

Isopropanol is highly flammable and should be stored under appropriate conditions. Ensure to follow local regulations regarding quantity and storage conditions. In General Isopropanol should be stored cool and dry away from sunlight, sparks and ignition sources.

Disposal of Isopropanol

Isopropanol and container as well as rinsing water need to be disposed of at an appropriate waste treatment site. Please check local regulations.
