Liquid resin and epoxy resin for many applications

The new semi-finished product Raku Tool WB-0890 is an epoxy block material for the Composites Industry. The epoxy resin has an extremely fine surface structure, which significantly reduces the effort for finishing and the consumption of sealer. In addition, the surface quality can be transferred from the master model to the prepreg mold, so that no regrinding of the mold is required and the service life of the prepreg molds is significantly increased. The epoxy resin block material, which can be milled quickly and easily, is compatible with all standard lacquers, release agents and epoxy prepregs. The glass transition temperature Tg is 110 ° C.

Epoxy resin for the production of laying tools

rampf1019The flame retardants Polyurethane plate for tools and molds Raku Tool FP-0590 can be glued in various shapes and sizes. A special matched in hardness and color Adhesive system is available.

The plate is made of epoxy resin heat resistant up to 200 ° C, has a closed surface structure, can be processed very well and is dimensionally stable. The epoxy resin sheet is used to manufacture laying tools for prepregs and Vacuum forming .

With his flame retardant properties Raku Tool FP-0590 is particularly suitable for the production of interior fittings, wall cladding, ceiling and decorative elements as well as furniture.

Epoxy resin for fast milling times

The two-component Epoxy resin Raku tool CP-6131 is applied by hand or with a CNC machine to a conformal substructure. Various substructures can be used including Raku Tool SB-0080 Styling Board, EPS, and cast aluminum.

The Close contour paste is easy to process and apply. The production process is fast and efficient - direct tool production does not require the production of a model, the conformal shape ensures fast milling times. In addition, as with all conformal products, less material is used and less waste is produced.

Liquid resin for the high temperature range

With the structural Liquid resin system Raku EI-2510, Rampf has developed a product that corresponds to the performance of cured prepreg epoxy systems with high Tg for vacuum infusion and RTM processing. The liquid material has a very low viscosity (200 mPas at 40 ° C) to enable an inexpensive infrastructure and tooling with an excellent pot life of 2 h and a short curing time (2 h at 120 ° C).

The hardened one High temperature epoxy resin The system has a dry temperature of 210 ° C and offers excellent hot-wet properties. The epoxy liquid resin system is designed for high fracture toughness and is ideally suited for applications that are exposed to harsh environmental conditions and high mechanical, thermal and vibratory loads. Applications for the liquid epoxy resin include a variety of high temperature structural applications.

Epoxy resin for the aerospace industry

Last but not least, that combines unfilled epoxy resin System Raku EI-2508 FST excellent FST properties with the strength and performance of a cured epoxy system. The low viscosity and the temperature-activated curing profile enable short cycle times. Complete curing can take place within 15 minutes. The system is ideal for large volume Aerospace components such as structural and non-structural seats, pack boards, wall and ceiling panels, luggage racks, and toilet components.
