PrimaCreator Value Tough Water Washable: ABS-Like Water Washable Resin (1 kg)
In a nutshell: the PrimaCreator Value Tough Water Washable is the water washable version of PrimaCreator's ABS-like resin. It combines the toughness of a Tough resin — stronger, less brittle prints than standard resin — with the convenience of washing your prints with plain water, no isopropyl alcohol required. Compatible with LCD and DLP printers at 395–405 nm, available in 1 kg bottles in light grey, black, and white.

Why Water Washable?
Isopropyl alcohol works great, but it means extra cost, storage, ventilation, and disposal. Water washable resin makes cleanup simpler and more convenient — especially practical if you print at home, in a classroom, or in a small space. This version keeps all the Tough properties: prints that hold up better to handling, impacts, and test fitting.
What Is It Good For?
Great for scale modeling, miniatures, and figures with thin parts that shouldn't snap, and for prototypes and functional parts that get handled. An excellent choice for beginners getting into resin printing, or for anyone who wants a cleaner workflow without sacrificing strength.
Which Color Should I Choose?
Light grey is the best option for seeing detail and painting. Black and white give you finished-looking prints straight off the build plate.

Usage Tips
-
Shake the bottle thoroughly before each use.
-
Dial in your exposure settings with a test print on your specific printer before running larger jobs.
-
Wash with water and dry your print completely before curing — trapped moisture can cause cracking.
-
Cure under 405 nm UV light in a curing station.
- Never pour resin-contaminated water down the drain. Let it cure in sunlight first, then dispose of the solid residue according to your local regulations.
A wash and cure station makes both steps much easier. If you'd prefer the IPA-wash version, check out the PrimaCreator Value Tough (ABS-Like), available in five colors. Browse more options in our water washable resins and tough and engineering resins collections.
