LOCTITE 3D 3172
Manufacturer: Loctite (Henkel)
Type: Tough (Industrial)
LOCTITE 3D 3172 is a Tough (Industrial) resin manufactured by Loctite (Henkel), industrial-grade 3D printing resins from Henkel's Loctite brand for engineering applications. With a shore hardness of 63D, and tensile stress at yield of 33 MPa, and 91% elongation at break, this resin is designed for applications requiring flexible and impact-resistant parts. available in Gray, priced at approximately $299.00.
Key Properties
- Hardness: 63D Shore — hard/durable
- Tensile Strength: 33 MPa at yield — low tensile strength
- Elongation at Break: 91% — stretches significantly before breaking — flexible
- Viscosity: 1,700 mPa·s — high — benefits from pre-warming and longer drain times
- Impact Resistance: 67 J/m — excellent impact toughness
Best Applications for LOCTITE 3D 3172
- Flexible and impact-resistant parts
- Snap-fit components and living hinges
- Tough enclosures, protective covers, and impact-resistant parts

Handling & Printing Notes
With a viscosity of 1,700 mPa·s, this resin benefits from pre-warming and longer drain times after printing. The solid density of 1 g/cm³ is typical for photopolymer resins, resulting in lighter cured parts. Always refer to the official technical datasheet from Loctite (Henkel) for recommended print settings, exposure times, and post-curing instructions.
