We have come across a can of something labelled as 'Skytone Photyopolmer', which is made in Korea.
I assume it is the translation of a Photopolymer.
There is no other information with the can, other than a raft of quite severe warnings about how dangerous it is.
Anyone know what it is, in layman's terms and what it is used for within the DIY context?
TIA
Google leads me to believe it hardens under intense light, and used to create 3D models or printing stamps under a programmed scanning light source.
Photopolymers are also used in dentistry for filling dental caries, and they are polymerised by strong light in the blue and UV part of the spectrum. They are often acrylate based.
Yup, for a gloop type 3d printer. Should be saleable. Polymer = plastic photopolymer = hardened by light

When used in the mouth though they are very specialised, as many contain some very nasty substance. Brian
Thanks to all for your input. I was kind of hoping that it would be some kind of solvent, such that I could use it for cleaning.
THink it's going to be one for eBay.
