Somos® WaterShed Black

Environmentally durable SLA material for weatherable applications.

Somos WaterShed Black is an environmentally durable SLA material for weatherable applications. Exposed under robust SAE J2527 industry standard weathering testing, Somos WaterShed Black meets the demands of weatherability, UV-testing and durability for functional prototyping and end use part production. With similar properties and processing as Somos WaterShed XC 11122, WaterShed Black has up to a 50% faster processing speed than alternative black resins, offering minimal finishing and more consistent processing over time. Compared to alternatives currently on the market, Somos WaterShed Black prints a more true black color off the machine and offers a smooth surface finish, as well as higher moisture and chemical resistance.
