Henkel introduces new Loctite 3D Printing materials for medical and industrial applications at Formnext 2025

Loctite presents new medical colors and certified industrial resin at Formnext 2025.

(IN BRIEF) Henkel will showcase major 3D printing material innovations at Formnext 2025, introducing new biocompatible medical resins—Loctite 3D MED414 Red and Clear—and the industrial-grade Loctite 3D IND3785, designed for superior chemical resistance and pending FDA and EU food-contact approval. Demonstrating its leadership in additive manufacturing, Henkel will also present real-world applications, such as Genera’s eyewear line, to highlight Loctite’s reliability, versatility, and validated workflows that empower scalable, high-quality production in both medical and industrial sectors.

(PRESS RELEASE) DÜSSELDORF, 10-Nov-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Henkel is set to make a strong impression at Formnext 2025 in Frankfurt with the unveiling of its latest Loctite 3D Printing innovations, designed to enhance performance, safety, and collaboration across the additive manufacturing landscape. At Hall 11.1, Booth B31, the company will showcase new medical-grade resins—Loctite 3D MED414 Red and Loctite 3D MED414 Clear—which expand upon the established MED414 Blue by offering greater visual differentiation and maintaining proven mechanical strength and biocompatibility for medical and device applications.

In addition to its medical line, Henkel will present Loctite 3D IND3785, a white, rigid, and chemically resistant industrial resin developed for both industrial and biomedical uses. The material features low chemical migration and leachable content and has undergone extensive extraction and migration testing across diverse food simulants and exposure conditions. Results have shown minimal to non-detectable material transfer, reinforcing confidence in its pending FDA CFR 177.1010 and EU 10/2011 food-contact approvals—positioning IND3785 as a new benchmark for safety and performance in 3D printing photopolymers.

The booth will also feature real-world case studies illustrating how Loctite materials perform across multiple platforms and applications. One highlight includes Genera’s eyewear collection, produced in a variety of colors using Loctite resins, demonstrating the scalability, precision, and aesthetic quality achievable with validated additive manufacturing workflows.

Visitors can meet the Henkel team at Hall 11.1, Booth B31, where experts will discuss Loctite’s material capabilities, workflow validation, and application development support across different 3D printing systems.
