Huntington Beach, CA – June 1, 2010:
Toolfusion® 3 is a two part low viscosity epoxy infusion resin formulated to produce pre-preg
quality, composite molds. Toolfusion® 3 has a low initial cure temperature of 120°F (49°C) and
can be post cured to achieve a high glass transition temperature of 425°F (218°C). Void contents of less than
1% are achievable. Toolfusion® 3 will work in various RTM and VARTM processes including single and
double bag arrangements to produce autoclave quality laminates.
|
Benefits include:
Resin infusion process delivers very high quality laminates with low manufacturing costs, no refrigeration costs, no autoclave running costs.
Low initial cure temperature for low thermal expansion effect during curing and ability to use low cost master model materials.
Nano technology delivers outstanding toughness & high Tg. (218ºC) for long tool life and reduced life cycle cost.
Low viscosity allows infusion of thicker and more complex laminates with fewer resin feed lines.
In comparison to metallic tools, Toolfusion® composite tools are lighter weight for easier manual handing.
In comparison to metallic tooling, Toolfusion® composite tools have faster heat up and cool down rates for reduced production costs.
Toolfusion® 3 composite tooling laminates have vacuum integrity for vacuum bag processing of parts in oven and autoclave.
