SL1 and a hard resin

I need to print relatively small (~15 mm diameter) gears in my SL1 and, being gears that will rub together, I need the finished product to be as hard as possible.  I have the white ABS-like resin, which does not appear to be so hard, and the transparent resin, from which I have several printed parts that are a few years old lying around that seem to be better from a hardness perspective.

Are there any other resins for use in the SL1 that people would recommend for hardness?

That's great, thanks, and available from Amazon in the UK.  I'll give it a try.

FYI, that resin worked excellently, thanks for the recommendation.  Here is the printed output in action:
