Anycubic Tough Resin Ultra Black — Matte, Flexible, and Impact-Resistant Resin
Anycubic Tough Resin Ultra Black is a premium matte black photopolymer resin with exceptional toughness, flexibility, and a soft-touch finish. It’s engineered for functional prints that require impact resistance and mechanical stress endurance. Ideal for cosplay parts, wearable models, and industrial-grade prototypes, this resin is also suitable for blending with other materials to enhance their performance.
Key Advantages
- Matte Black Finish: Smooth non-reflective surface, perfect for post-processing or final use.
- Extreme Flexibility: Withstands deformation with 70–80% elongation at break.
- High Impact Resistance: Tough enough for structural and dynamic parts.
- Skin-Friendly After Curing: Ideal for parts in contact with skin.
- Versatile Application: Use alone or mix with rigid resins for enhanced elasticity.

Instructions for Use
- Before use: Shake well. Clean the build plate and resin tank.
- During printing: Pour resin and set exposure parameters based on printer type.
- After printing: Remove model carefully. Rinse with ≥95% IPA or ethanol. Ultrasonic cleaning recommended.
- Post-processing: Remove supports, dry the model, and UV-cure for 30–60 minutes.
Precautions
- Store away from direct light at 18–35°C in a sealed container.
- If thickened from cold, warm slightly (not above 60°C).
- Stir if pigment settles.
- Don’t soak prints in alcohol for long periods.
- Always UV cure models after washing and drying for best durability.
- Use in dark room or covered printer to prevent premature curing.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Is the finish matte or glossy?
- Matte. It produces a non-shiny black surface, ideal for detail visibility.
- Can it be used for wearables?
- Yes. It’s skin-friendly and comfortable after curing.
- Is it compatible with my printer?
- Yes. Suitable for all LCD printers with 365–405 nm UV light, including Anycubic Photon.
- Can I mix this resin?
- Yes. Blend with other resins to increase toughness and flexibility.
