I-Zod Impact: 3.05 KJ/m2
TR300 Ultra-High Temp Resin - Best For Dental Thermoforming
Phrozen TR300 Ultra-High Temp Resin is your best bet in printing out high quality dental models that withstand high temperatures up to 200 °C (or 392 °F). It can be used for creating dental models which are then used to thermoform aligners or retainers which requires the perfect fit for the patients.
TR300 resin can also be used to create study dental models which can be used for demonstrative purposes.
Characteristics
3D models printed with TR300 resin have an extremely high thermal resistance which makes it ideal for thermoforming purposes. TR300 resin produces dental models that are extremely tough and offers a great print quality for all dental professionals.
Features:
Viscosity: 160cps
Density: 1.17
Surface Hardness (Shore D): Shore 80 D
Elongation (at break): 2%

I-Zod Impact: 8 KJ/m2
Beige Low-Irritation Resin - For Durable Prints
Beige Low-Irritation resin produces durable 3D dental models such as dental models with removable dies that can be used for demonstrative purposes. It can also be used to print out dental models for aligners which can then be used to manufacture clear aligners.
After undergoing the curing process, dental models printed with this resin are easy on the skin, allowing patients to have direct contact with the 3D models.
Characteristics
Beige Low Irritation resin produces dental models that are durable and easy on the skin.
Features:
Viscosity : 654 cps
Density : 1.14
Surface Hardness (Shore D) : Shore 81 D
Elongation (at break) : 2%
Tensile Strength : 10 Mpa
I-Zod Impact : 2.21 KJ/m2
Aqua-Gray 4K & Aqua-Ivory 4K Resin - For Extreme Precision
If you’re looking to print out extremely precise dental parts, Phrozen Aqua-Gray 4K and Aqua-Ivory 4K Resin are the best for printing out highly intricate 3D prints with a smooth surface, effectively removing horizontal lines from your 3D models.
Bridges, crowns, and removable dies, such as in the photo above, typically require extreme precision printing in order to ensure a perfect fit for patients.
As a dental professional, if you are looking to print out textured dental models with all the tiny details, Aqua-Gray 4K and Aqua-Ivory 4K Resin will be the perfect choice for you.
Characteristics
Both Aqua-Gray 4K & Aqua-Ivory 4K resins are capable of printing out dental parts with extremely high precision. Low viscosity also makes both resins ideal for rinsing and cleaning after the printing process has been complete.
Features (Aqua-Gray 4K):
Viscosity: 150cps
Density: 1.1
Tg (Glass Transition Temperature): 68.4℃
Surface Hardness (Shore D): Shore 77 D
Elongation (at break): 7%
Tensile Strength: 2 Mpa
I-Zod Impact: 6.78 KJ/m2
Features (Aqua-Ivory 4K):
Viscosity: 221cps
Density: 1.1
Surface Hardness (Shore D): Shore 75 D
Elongation (at break): 6%
Tensile Strength: 1.9 Mpa
