M Holland Company, a distributor of thermoplastic resins, has become an authorised distributor of Loctite 3D branded 3D printing products from Henkel, leader in adhesives, sealants and functional coatings. The two have signed a deal in this connection which provides M Holland’s industrial manufacturing clients access to a range of 3D printing materials.

M Holland’s industrial manufacturing clients gets access to 3D printing materials such as UV-curable silicone elastomeric, ultra-clear, durable, high impact, high temperature and general-purpose resins.

“Henkel is excited to bring M Holland on board as our 3D distribution partner,” said Sam Bail, head of 3D printing North America at Henkel Corporation. “M Holland has expertise in polymer materials and its use in traditional manufacturing, including molding and machining. With the addition of Loctite 3D resins to the M Holland portfolio, we believe the partnership will provide M Holland’s clients new opportunities to use additive manufacturing in their organisations.”

This agreement marks M Holland’s first expansion into thermoset materials. Henkel’s complementary product set will help serve M Holland’s clients with rapidly evolving needs in additive manufacturing. Henkel’s portfolio includes several materials, including Loctite 3D resins, a line designed to produce highly aesthetic parts with finely detailed print resolution. These functional photopolymer products provide an open materials platform that can be used to collaborate with manufacturers of 3D printers and system providers.

“Henkel’s customer-centred approach combined with our additive manufacturing expertise supports the qualification of new materials for various technologies and applications,” said Haleyanne Freedman, market manager, 3D Printing at M Holland. “M Holland’s partnership with Henkel will help guide our clients in realising a wide range of endeavours in additive manufacturing.”

This partnership follows three additional 3D printing agreements, which M Holland established in 2018. The company previously announced a distribution agreement with 3DXtech, adding 24 engineering materials to its linecard. Owens Corning named M Holland the Master Distributor for its XStrand line of fibreglass-reinforced products. The company also signed an agreement to distribute Basf’s line of materials for industrial manufacturing 3D printing applications.
