• Prusament Resin Cleaner DPM offers a safer alternative to IPA for SLA print washing. • DPM is far less flammable, with a higher ignition temperature than IPA. • Lower volatility reduces VOC emissions and prevents rapid evaporation. • No explosive risk-IPA can form dangerous mixtures, DPM does not. • Significantly lower toxicity; no hazardous pictograms required. • Maintains high cleaning efficiency comparable to IPA. • Worldwide shipping possible due to its low flammability and toxicity.
Article Summaries:
- Prusament has introduced the Prusament Resin Cleaner DPM (Dipropylene Glycol Methyl Ether) as a safer alternative to isopropyl alcohol (IPA) for washing SLA prints. The new solvent is less flammable, less volatile, and has lower toxicity, allowing the company to ship it worldwide without the regulatory hurdles that limit IPA distribution. In tests, a 2‑liter bottle remains effective until saturated with about 100 ml of resin, and the cleaning process mirrors standard IPA procedures. The cleaner is sold in 1‑L and 5‑L canisters at $17.99 and $64.99 respectively, and Prusament has discontinued IPA sales in its e‑shop.
