Good Machinability Self-lubricating Properties Vacuum Casting POM

Short Description:

To be used by vacuum casting in silicone moulds for making prototype parts and mock-ups with mechanical properties similar to thermoplastics like polyoxymethylene and polyamide.

• High flexural modulus of elasticity

• High reproduction accuracy

• Available in two reactivity (4 and 8 min.)

• Can be easily coloured with CP pigments

• Fast demoulding

Vacuum Casting Processing Conditions

• Heat both parts (isocyanate and polyol) at 23°C in case of storage at low temperature.

• Important : Shake vigorously part A before each weighing.

• Weigh the both parts.

• After degasing for 10 minutes under vacuum mix for

1 minute with PX 245

2 minutes with PX 245/L

• Cast under vacuum in a silicone mold, previously heated at 70°C.

• Demould after 30 minutes minimum at 70°C (allow the part to cool down before demoulding).

Handling Precautions

Normal health and safety precautions should be observed when handling these products:

• ensure good ventilation

• wear gloves and safety glasses
