Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) in a 20-litre (16 kg) drum — the solvent used to wash uncured resin off a print, the step that always comes before UV curing.
If you print resin regularly, IPA is the fastest consumable you have: the bath gradually saturates with resin until it no longer cleans and has to be changed. Twenty litres works out cheaper than a shelf of small bottles for a shop, a school or a lab running more than one resin machine.
IPA is flammable. Keep it away from heat and sparks, keep the cap closed, and use it where there is ventilation. Wear gloves — both IPA and uncured resin irritate skin. Used solvent is resin-contaminated waste: never pour it down a drain. The usual method is to leave it in sunlight until the resin in it solidifies, then dispose of the solids.
The Iso Propyl Alcohol (IPA) [ขนาดบรรจุ 20 ลิตร (16 กิโลกรัม) /แกลลอน] costs ฿4,800 including VAT at Print My Design. It is in stock; stock at each branch is shown on this page.
IPA is the standard wash for resin prints. The exception is water-washable resin, which rinses in plain water and needs no IPA at all.
When it clouds over and parts still come out tacky. How fast that happens depends on how much you wash — there is no fixed interval.
Never down a drain. Leave it in sunlight until the resin in it solidifies, then dispose of the solids as contaminated waste.
IPA is flammable and shipping it is restricted — ask us about delivery, or collect it at a branch.
