New DURAMOULD ETM range for concrete form liners
Article Type: New materials and equipment From: Anti-Corrosion Methods and Materials, Volume 57, Issue 6
Dow Formulated Systems, a business group of The Dow Chemical Company, has launched new additions to its DURAMOULD™ polyurethane systems range for mold making, rapid prototyping, pattern making, and tooling.
The recently introduced DURAMOULD ETM hand mixable grades have been developed for the manufacture of form liners and stamping pads for pre-cast and decorative concrete forms. Low-viscosity room temperature processing, extended gel times and optimized demold times allow fine detail to be transferred from master to mold. The finished molds offer a high resistance to abrasion and improved cut and tear resistance.
The DURAMOULD ETM range of polyurethane systems consists of four hardnesses, 30, 50, 60, and 75A shore A. This hardness range helps the designer to select the most suitable product for a particular design. Deep draw molds at 30 shore A provide toughness and flexibility enabling DURAMOULD to give multiple reproductions. DURAMOULD ETM 75A has good stiffness and low shrinkage allowing for detail and symmetry from the stamping pad.
All the DURAMOULD™ ETM range gives “finger-print” quality reproduction which is enabled by the easy mixing qualities of the system such as simple ratios, low viscosity, long pot life, and excellent moisture tolerance.
Dow Formulated Systems has a 30-year track in the concrete and mold making industry. The DURAMOULD polyurethane hand mixable and machine mixable systems have been designed to ensure right-first-time manufacture of high-quality long-lasting molds with easier formulation, simplified materials handling and casting, and a quicker and more efficient manufacturing process, all with the assurance of long-lasting molds that give excellent reproduction of fine detail. Developed by Dow Formulated Systems, DURAMOULD is available in a choice of grades for hand mixing, machine mixing, and spraying, providing the flexibility required for mold making.
