Flex Series Peak Performance × Hard Rubber-Like × 15 MPa Max Tensile Strength
Industrial hard rubber-like feel
Flex series strongest tensile performance
Tough yet flexible, won't brittle-fracture
Flex 68A is the highest hardness, strongest tensile engineering-grade elastic resin in the series, designed for high-load industrial applications
QTS Flex 68A is the most powerful member of the Flex series. Shore 68A hardness rivals industrial hard rubber, 9~15 MPa tensile strength ensures parts don't fracture under extreme loads, while 90~120% elongation provides sufficient elastic cushioning. This perfect combination of strength and toughness makes Flex 68A the ultimate choice for industrial casters, robot wheels, and high-load buffer components.
Among the entire Flex series, Flex 68A boasts the highest tensile strength (9~15 MPa), withstanding enormous tensile forces without fracturing — the ultimate choice for high-load industrial applications.
90~120% elongation ensures parts absorb impacts elastically rather than brittle-fracturing under high-strength loads — perfectly combining industrial rubber strength with elasticity.
Shore 68A hardness provides exceptional wear resistance, withstanding high-frequency compression and friction. Ideal for industrial casters, robot wheels, and other long-life components.
Professional matte black appearance makes prototypes look closer to final products, suitable for direct use as functional parts. No additional painting required — industrial aesthetics built-in.
Relatively low viscosity (250~350 cps) ensures smooth printing and easy post-processing cleaning, making this high-performance engineering material approachable for all users.
100% Taiwan-developed and manufactured with strict quality control. QTS Technology's 30+ years of chemical expertise, trusted by 8000+ customers.
Caster prototypes and small-batch production for industrial equipment, carts, and machinery. Shore 68A hardness and wear resistance perfectly simulate industrial rubber casters for pre-mold design validation.
Wheel and drive roller prototypes for robots and AGVs. High tensile strength (15 MPa) ensures no deformation under high-speed rotation and load; excellent rebound provides stable traction.
Buffer pads, anti-vibration feet, and damping components for machinery. Withstands high-frequency compression and impact, effectively absorbing vibration energy to protect equipment.
Soft outer layer over rigid core parts for anti-slip and shock absorption. Prototype tool handles and equipment grips to validate ergonomics, grip comfort, and anti-slip performance.
Wear-resistant elastic components for fitness equipment and sporting goods. High hardness and wear resistance ensure long-term durability; black finish suits professional sports equipment aesthetics.
Handles, grips, stamps, and other functional parts requiring extreme durability. Accurately simulate final rubber product feel and dynamic performance at minimal cost, significantly reducing tooling risk.

Shake thoroughly before use. Flex 68A has moderate viscosity (250~350 cps) and operates well at room temperature — no warming required.
Use the recommended exposure parameters above. Start from the lower end for flexible resins. Note that black resin has slightly lower light penetration — ensure adequate bottom layer exposure.
Flexible parts are soft — handle gently to avoid deformation. Use a thin spatula to assist removal, especially for thin-wall structures.
Wash with 95% IPA or dedicated cleaning solution, gently agitate for 1~2 minutes. Lightly press dry after washing to remove residual liquid before post-curing.
Post-cure using a UV curing station (365~405nm) for 10~60 minutes (adjust based on model thickness). Critical: Do not over-cure flexible resins — excessive post-curing reduces elasticity. Allow to cool to room temperature before performance testing.

A: The main differences are hardness and tensile strength. Flex 57A (Shore 57A) is softer with 56 J/m impact strength, ideal for applications requiring transparency (like shoe sole prototypes). Flex 68A (Shore 68A) is the series' highest hardness with 15 MPa tensile strength, closer to industrial hard rubber, better for industrial casters, robot wheels, and applications requiring extreme strength. Choose Flex 68A for maximum tensile strength and wear resistance; choose Flex 57A for transparency.
A: Yes, black resin contains black pigment with slightly lower light penetration than clear resins. Slightly extend bottom layer exposure time to ensure full curing. Follow recommended parameters for normal layers to avoid over-exposure affecting elasticity.
A: Yes, Flex 68A is ideal for industrial caster design validation. Shore 68A hardness closely matches industrial rubber casters, allowing accurate pre-mold simulation of load capacity, rebound, and wear resistance — significantly reducing tooling risk and cost.
A: Recommended post-cure: 10~60 minutes (adjust based on model thickness). Post-cure time is critical — insufficient time results in soft, tacky parts; excessive time makes parts hard and loses elasticity. Strictly control post-cure time and test performance only after cooling to room temperature.
A: Absolutely. Flex 68A's high hardness and superior mechanical properties make it ideal for overmolding. Print a rigid core component first, then use Flex 68A for the outer soft layer to validate anti-slip performance, shock absorption, and ergonomic design.
A: QTS Flex 68A is compatible with all 405nm light source LCD/DLP/SLA 3D printers, including Phrozen, Anycubic, Elegoo, Creality, FlashForge, eSUN, Miicraft, and other mainstream brands.
A: Store in a cool, dry location (15~35°C), away from direct sunlight. Seal tightly after each use. Filter used resin before storing separately. Dispose of waste resin by fully curing to solid state first, then recycle as general solid waste.
A: Always wear gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing during operation. Wash hands with soap after handling. Use in well-ventilated areas. Keep away from children. Never pour liquid resin directly down the drain.
