MONOCURE3D RESINAWAY The Ultimate Cleaning Solution
Monocure3D BURNAWAY Investment Casting Resin
RESINAWAY is the faster, safer, longer-lasting alternative. Engineered to only target the uncured resin, thus cleaning more effectively than Isopropyl alcohol. IPA does not break down all the materials in 3D Resin and can become saturated quickly. This can leave the models with residual resin on the surface, causing them to feel sticky.
HOW RESINAWAY WORKS
Performance and Quality
Generally, 3D UV Resins are termed Non-Polar (oil-loving), while water is a polar substance where the molecule has electrical poles (water will conduct electricity whereas oil and such, i.e. 3D UV resins are far less likely to conduct electricity.) So that is sufficient enough to define the term polar and non-polar. Polar and non-polar substances (i.e. Oil into Water) will not combine or mix together.
There is another term called “Bi-Polar “, and this defines a substance that is both Polar and non- polar, examples of Bi-Polar substances are some of the more common Alcohols, i.e. Ethanol, Propanol and Iso-Propanol. A Bi-Polar solvent is one that will mix and dissolve into both a polar material and also a Non-Polar material or water and also oil equally well
HEAD TO HEAD
Isopropyl alcohol doesn’t effectively break down all the materials in photopolymer resin, it only dilutes it, giving the appearance of cleaning, but becomes saturated very quickly. This will cause it to be ineffective, leaving residual resin on the parts.
RESINAWAY VS IPA
RESINAWAY is engineered to target the uncured resin as it changes its chemical structure to make it soluble in water. Turning a non-water washable resin into one, meaning it can be easily washed away after the part is post-cured.
RESINAWAY
Unlike IPA, RESINAWAY will not emulsify with the uncured resin on the print’s surface. This can cause the surface to turn cloudy & frosted, taking away from the natural transparency of the resin. If printed parts are left in IPA for an extended period, cracks on the surface will be evident or even worse; it may cause the 3D printed model to crack in weak places.
Isopropyl alcohol is highly flammable and can easily ignite. Another danger of using isopropyl alcohol is poisoning. IPA poisoning occurs when the liver is no longer able to manage the amount of IPA in the body.

I started using a mix of 80% Phrozen Aqua Gray 8K and 20% PhrozenxLoctite Impact Plus and the higher viscosity of the Impact Plus made removing excess resin after printing very difficult. I would scrub and scrub and scrub and I'd still get the "wet" areas that had a mix of IPA/resinI didn't want to give up the strength of the new mixture so I researched new cleaning methods. I use ResinAway in a 500ml Pyrex beaker, then place that beaker in an ultrasonic cleaner filled with water. While this method is usually used with IPA, ResinAway is not flammable and I use this method just to more efficiently cycle out new ResinAway.Anyway, 3-5 minutes in the ultrasonic with ResinAway and all the excess resin is gone. I still rinse it off after with IPA and you can really feel how clean it is. This stuff is expensive but it really works, and it's now permanently part of my workflow.Also, you can use it quite a bit even when it starts looking pretty opaque and grey. The 2L bottle lasted me many many prints.What I will say is this might not be practical for very large prints, but even then... it's the only thing that worked for me when 99% IPA did notSmells like fruit loops.

It does work, but it's very oily and takes forever to dry. Its not as good as fresh IPA.

I love everything about ResinAway except it's pricepoint. Prior to using ResinAway, I was using alcohol 98% for my cleaning solution. I found myself buying lots of alcohol as my cleaning solution frequently got saturated with resin thus I made the switch to ResinAway. I'm happy that I made the switch but because I'm doing a two-step wash process (pre-wash in a tub -> wash in washing station), I needed a lot of ResinAway to fill up the bucket that's made specifically for my washing station. Additionally, I keep the printed pieces attached to the build plate and throw that in the washing station (in the bucket) as well. All that to say that, I need a lot of ResinAway so I ended up buying TWO 2L tubs of this product which is definitely costly. Anyways, it's been months now and I've printed a good amount of things since then and I still haven't ordered more.

While the smell is undesireable, the results are excellent.It works far better than IPA. Even doing a Pre-Wash then a full on Wash with the Cleaner really makes a difference.After that, just dunk it in some water too remove the cleaner and cure the print. You can really see the difference it makes on the model.IPA never cleaned so good. Even the Resin that's water washable can't beat it.

Cleans much better than isopropyl alcohol and lasts longer. Is more expensive but is worth it.

The photo makes the container look gigantic. It is actually very small. This did not clean my resin parts nearly as well as alcohol, and left them feeling oily, so I had to buy & use alcohol anyway.

J'utilise le ResinAway comme nettoyant pour mes impressions résine. Il a le même niveau d'efficacité que l'Isopropanol pour retirer le reste de résine liquide mais il ne s'évapore pas et est ininflammable. Je l'utilise dans un petit bac à ultrason pour le 2ème nettoyage après un nettoyage "grossier" dans un simple petit récipient. Je finis par un nettoyage à l'IPA car le ResinAway est gras. Résultat parfaitAttention, l'odeur est assez forte et il est souhaitable de l'utiliser dans un environnement ventilé et avec les protections qui vont bien (Gants latex, lunettes, etc...)

Üblicher weise reinigt man seine Drucke ja mit IPA. Aber es verdampft schnell, macht dabei duselig usw.Resinaway funktioniert wie Spülmittel und kann deshalb eine Menge Resin binden.Ich wasche in 2 Durchgängen: In einer Tuppa- Dose fürs grobe und dann in einem Ultraschallbad den Rest.Das Ergebnis: Im ersten Durchgang ist fast alles abgewaschen, obwohl das mittlerweile eine trübe Suppe ist.Die Hauptursache für Verbrauch scheint für mich daher eher, dass man die Teile mit Resinaway benetzt und beim Rausnehmen etwas Flüssigkeit mit rausnimmt.Ich habe erst versucht durch sehr langes waschen und schütteln die Teile sauber zu bekommen, das hinterlässt allerdings etwas klebrige Teile. Nach dem Waschen im Ultraschallbecken war das nicht mehr festzustellen, bin begeistert :)Eine weitere Wichtige Funktion: Nach dem Waschen soll man die Teile etwas abpusten (verwende einfach einen Fön). Dabei verbleibt ein Öliger Schutzfilm auf den Teilen, der Verfärbung beim Nachhärten verhindert.Er lässt sich mit Wasser und etwas Seife gut abwaschen und man erhält perfekte Teile.Zusammenfassend: Es ist teuer, aber lohnt sich in meinen Augen.

Werkt erg goed en verdampt niet zoals met de isopropanol, je doet er veel langer mee in vergelijking met de isopropanol en de geur is een stuk aangenamer. Erg tevreden mee

It is a verry useful product if you have a 3D printer based on resin .It helped me to clean the resin from the prints and i used 250 ml for at least 10 prints .I'm a satisfied buyer.
