What your process engineer actually checks

Toughness that survives post-cure

xPP405's 100% elongation and 51 J/m Izod are post-cure numbers, and over-curing this resin costs you exactly that toughness. We share the exact recipe — xClean then IPA, 2 × 30 min in XiP Cure — so parts land on the datasheet.

About this product

Nexa3D xPP405 Black in the 1.5 kg smart cartridge is the polypropylene-like LSPc photopolymer for the XiP and XiP Pro desktop printers — tough and semi-rigid, with roughly the stiffness of molded unfilled polypropylene and about 100% elongation at break.

Why engineers choose xPP405

The LSPc resin you reach for when parts have to bend, snap and survive handling.

PP-like toughness

About 100% elongation at break and 51 J/m notched Izod — parts deform and absorb impact instead of shattering like a standard rigid resin.

Drop-in smart cartridge

The 1.5 kg cartridge loads straight into the XiP or XiP Pro — the printer reads the material and pulls the right settings. No decanting, no manual vat fill.

Stiffness of unfilled PP

1300 MPa tensile modulus and Shore D 76 put xPP405 in the same stiffness band as molded, unfilled polypropylene — familiar behaviour for design validation.

Biocompatibility screening passed

Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5) and irritation (ISO 10993-23) both pass per the manufacturer’s datasheet. Flammability rated UL94 HB at 2 mm.

Nexa3D xPP405 printed part - polypropylene-like LSPc resin, tough functional component
A full build of xPP405 parts on the Nexa3D platform — LSPc cures a whole layer at once, so packing the plate costs no extra build time.

How we supply it

Lot-sealed cartridge, a validated print profile and exact post-cure recipes in every order.

Step 01
Sealed smart cartridge

Every 1.5 kg cartridge ships sealed and chip-tracked with its Nexa3D lot. Load and print — no mixing, no additives.

Step 02
Validated XiP profile

The cartridge carries Nexa3D’s validated LSPc profile; our engineers add exposure and orientation guidance for your parts.

Step 03
Wash & cure to spec

xClean (max 2 min) then IPA (max 5 min). Post-cure 2 × 30 min in XiP Cure, or 1 × 60 min in xCURE, to reach datasheet values.

Printer compatibility

  • XiP — 7.7 × 4.5 × 8.3 in / 195 × 115 × 210 mm build volume, 405 nm LSPc.
  • XiP Pro — 11.5 × 6.4 × 16.1 in / 292 × 163 × 410 mm build volume, 405 nm LSPc.
  • For the NXE 400 / 400Pro, order xPP405 Black in the 5 kg container instead.
Tell our materials engineer the load, chemical exposure and finish your part has to survive — we’ll confirm whether xPP405 is the right call before you order. We print LSPc in-house every day. Sub-4h reply, NDA standard.

Why source xPP405 through Additive Plus

  • We run LSPc daily. Print profiles, exposure tuning and post-cure settings from a team that prints these resins in-house — not a catalog reseller.
  • US inventory, real support. Ships from US stock; volume orders and official POs handled by a materials engineer, not a form.
  • Full workflow under one roof. Resin, wash and cure stations, spares and application support — one partner for the whole LSPc line.
  • <24h engineer response · NDA standard.

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.

Which Nexa3D printers does the 1.5 kg xPP405 cartridge fit?
The 1.5 kg smart cartridge is formatted for the Nexa3D XiP (7.7 x 4.5 x 8.3 in / 195 x 115 x 210 mm build volume) and XiP Pro (11.5 x 6.4 x 16.1 in / 292 x 163 x 410 mm), both 405 nm LSPc printers. The cartridge is chip-tracked, so the printer identifies the material and loads the right profile. For the NXE 400 or 400Pro, order xPP405 Black in the 5 kg container instead.
How tough is xPP405 compared with a standard rigid resin?
xPP405 reaches about 100% elongation at break and 51 J/m notched Izod, against roughly 5.5% elongation and 25 J/m for a rigid general-purpose resin like xPRO410. In practice that means xPP405 parts deform and absorb impact rather than cracking. Tensile modulus is 1300 MPa and Shore D 76 — close to molded, unfilled polypropylene.
What wash and post-cure does xPP405 need?
Nexa3D specifies xClean followed by IPA — do not exceed 2 minutes in xClean or 5 minutes in IPA. Post-cure to spec is 2 × 30 min in XiP Cure, 1 × 60 min in xCURE, or 2 × 10 min at 50% in xCURE Desktop. Over-curing xPP405 reduces the elongation and impact resistance you bought it for, so follow the recipe rather than curing longer.
Is the cartridge resin the same as the 5 kg xPP405 Black?
Yes. xPP405 Black chemistry and published mechanical properties are identical in both formats — 35 MPa ultimate tensile strength, 1300 MPa modulus, 100% elongation, Shore D 76. Only the packaging differs: a 1.5 kg smart cartridge for XiP and XiP Pro, or a 5 kg container for the NXE 400 series. Choose the format that matches your printer.
Is xPP405 biocompatible or food-safe?
The manufacturer's xPP405-Black datasheet reports a pass for cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5) and irritation (ISO 10993-23). That is biocompatibility screening, not a medical device clearance, and Nexa3D does not publish a food-contact approval for xPP405. Do not treat it as food-safe or as cleared for patient contact without your own qualification.
What temperature can xPP405 parts withstand?
xPP405 has a heat deflection temperature of 52.8°C at 0.45 MPa and 43.4°C at 1.82 MPa, with a glass transition of 97.8°C. It is a tough, room-temperature engineering material, not a high-heat one. For parts that see sustained heat, tooling or molding, use xPEEK147, which holds up to 230°C after thermal post-cure.
Can I order a trial quantity before committing to volume?
Yes. The LSPc Resin Sample Kit ships 12 printed Nexa3D material samples so you can judge the toughness and finish in hand, and you can send us an STL for a paid benchmark part printed in xPP405. For multi-cartridge orders or an official purchase order, a materials engineer will quote you directly.
