This is a strong, rigid resin that has the
characteristics of Acrylonitrile Butadiene
Styrene (ABS). It is also a clear resin that can be lacquered
to become transparent.
This resin has properties similar to polypropylene’s
tensile strength and elongation. It has
a good balance of properties between rigidity and
functionality. This material is especially useful in applications
where durability and robustness are critical
requirements (e.g. automobile components,
electronic housings, medical products, large
panels and snap-fit parts).
This makes the material ideal for many applications
in the automotive and aerospace markets
where strong parts that can resist high
temperatures are needed.
This is white in colour and has excellent
strength & heat resistance. Good for
functional parts and can be painted to resemble the final
product.
Being glass filled it has a white/gray color
and is more rigid than non-filled nylon.
Good for parts that require exceptional strength.
Typical application for PrimeCast 100 is
the production of lost way
patterns used in investment casting process.
®
A typical application for Alumide® is
the manufacture of stiff parts
of metallic appearance for applications in automotive
manufacture (eg wind tunnel test or parts
that are not safety relevant), for tool
inserts for injecting and moulding small production
runs, for
illustrative modes (metallic appearance). Surfaces
of parts made
of Alumide® can be finished by grinding,
polishing or coating.
The materials used in the molding process
are Polyurethane’s. There are many
types of polyurethane’s available that replicate many
material types from ABS, Polypropylene and Nylon to soft rubber
like materials within the Shore ‘A’ hardness table.
We are able to pigment the materials to
match most colours.
