High-performance casting and gelcoat systems without skull and cross bones labeling

At GIFA 2011 RAMPF Tooling will present itself as a reliable and trend-setting partner for the foundry industry. Energy and resource efficient technologies for the various manufacturing processes in the foundry industry are increasingly sought after. With this in mind, the specialist for modeling materials has expanded its already comprehensive product portfolio in time for the international trade fair for the foundry industry. In Hall 12 on its stand 12A23, RAMPF Tooling will be showcasing nontoxic and easy to process polyurea casting and gelcoat systems which are well suited for the production of models, pattern plates and core boxes. The materials RAKU-TOOL^® PC-3451/PH-3952 and RAKU-TOOL^® PG-3104/PH-3954 are systems that do not require any skull and crossbones labeling. With the production of such materials RAMPF Tooling has a leading position as these systems have already been introduced into the market in 2008.

The systems RAKU-TOOL ^® PC-3451/PH-3952 and RAKU-TOOL^® PG-3104/PH-3954 are suited for the production of more than 50,000 parts. The casting system, RAKU-TOOL^® PC-3451/PH-3952, is specially suited for face casting and is generally used for the large series production. The advantage for the user/model maker lies in the fact that the undersized core made out of metal or plastics (epoxy aluminum granules, polyurethane casting systems, boards, etc.), can be re-coated after abrasive wear of the surface. The gelcoat RAKU-TOOL^® PG-3104/PH-3954 is used for the lay-up technique. With this process, through the application of just a thin layer of gelcoat, similar properties to face casting can be obtained. It is generally used for the production of large volume models and core boxes for large series production. The backing can be adjusted to suit the individual requirements of the molds. Both new systems have a high abrasion resistance and impact strength and do not exhibit a brittle phase. The new systems are suited for the production of a large number of parts (of more than 50,000), dependent on the respective forming process and part geometry. The modeling specialist will also use GIFA as a platform to present its comprehensive product range of board materials, epoxy casting and gelcoat systems, multipurpose systems, laminating pastes and fastcast systems. All systems are suited for the efficient production of models, negatives, pattern plates and core boxes using the various build-up processes and techniques. The very robust working boards made from PET flakes and recycling polyols will be a key highlight.
