ALTANA Cubic Ink HP 2-1400 VP-SLA – SLA Resin (Translucent Blue), 1 kg / 5 kg
The most accessible resin on our Cubic Ink shelf — $119 per kg ($111.80/kg in the 5 kg canister). High Performance 2-1400 VP-SLA is the material ALTANA builds for laser SLA machines, supplied in translucent blue, with 10 kg canisters available on request — the only Cubic Ink resin offered that way.
New in the September 2026 range: the technical datasheet is on this page, and we send starting print parameters for your machine the same day we have your printer model.
What your process engineer actually checks
Validated, load-and-print cure profiles
Every resin ships with a tested exposure/cure profile for the printers we sell and a datasheet covering viscosity, cure energy, mechanical properties, and shelf life. Dial the build in once, reorder the same chemistry.

Cubic Ink® High Performance 2-1400 VP-SLA (ALTANA article 10-08-1800) is the laser-SLA member of the Cubic Ink industrial resin line by ALTANA — the German specialty-chemicals group behind BYK and ECKART. It is a multi-purpose SLA resin with good impact strength, chemical resistance and high clarity, designed for large-vat stereolithography printers working at 355 nm. It comes in 1 kg bottles and 5 kg canisters, with 10 kg canisters available on request. Natural color is translucent blue; black, blue and grey are also available, and more colors on request.

Values from the ALTANA technical datasheet, version 4; properties vary with printer, settings, orientation, geometry and post-processing.
Where it fits
A general-purpose SLA material for prototypes and functional parts in tooling, machinery, household goods and toys — fast printing, a good surface finish, low shrinkage and very low water uptake.
Processing workflow
- Wash: Cubic Ink Cleaner 400 or propylene carbonate for up to 20 minutes (Cleaner 400 gives smoother surfaces in about 4 minutes), then rinse with IPA.
- Dry: at least 30 minutes at ambient conditions, or 30–60 minutes at 50 °C.
- Post-cure: a short UV cure is required — the datasheet values use 2 × 10 minutes at 60 °C with 365 and 405 nm LED.
