Washing machine cleaner SLN-RW-01

solvent-basedliquid5000 mL

Overview
Formlabs Resin Washing Solution is a non-flammable cleaning solvent formulated to remove uncured resin from 3D‑printed parts. It matches IPA in cleaning performance while dissolving roughly twice as much resin before saturation, reducing replenishment frequency and cost per washed part.

Recommended equipment
Formlabs Resin Washing Solution is recommended for use with Form Wash and Form Wash L to ensure controlled, repeatable cleaning cycles.

Key benefits

• Non‑flammable (GHS‑validated) chemistry to reduce storage and EH&S constraints.
• Comparable cleaning performance to IPA with approximately double the saturation capacity, extending solution life.
• Low evaporation for minimal volume loss and fewer top‑offs.
• Simplified procurement through availability from Formlabs and authorized partners.

How to use (workflow)

• Step 1 — Wash Part: Clean parts following material recommendations; use Form Wash or Form Wash L as appropriate.
• Step 2 — Water Soak: Soak for 30–60 seconds within 8 hours of washing; no agitation required to avoid swelling.
• Step 3 — Accelerated Dry or Air Dry: Use compressed air for 30–60 seconds, a fan for 30–120 minutes, or air dry for 4–6 hours.
• Step 4 — Cure Part: Follow material‑specific post‑curing recommendations.

Volume requirements (example)
Form Wash V2: 3 units (15 liters) — Form Wash L: 8 units (40 liters).

Compatibility (selected examples)

• General Purpose | Engineering | Casting | Dental
• Clear Resin | Durable Resin | Castable Wax 40 Resin | Precision Model Resin
• Grey Resin | Tough 1500 Resin V1 | Clear Cast Resin | Model Resin
• White Resin | Tough 2000 Resin V1

Not compatible with the Flexible and Elastic Resin families, or with resins that require a validated workflow (biocompatible resins, Flame Retardant Resin, etc.).

Notes
Lifetime and cost estimates assume one print per day. Competitor high‑saturation solution costs include a secondary flammable solvent where noted.
