Developed in-house, these high quality systems offer flexibility for customers looking for a more suitable tooling solution. Competitively priced, PRF’s tooling systems provide outstanding surface finish in the tool, even after repeated mouldings, and have received excellent reviews from our customers.
All systems have a Tg of 190°C (DSC) after post cure.
RP800
This latest system provides the exceptional quality of our RP802 Overnight cure system, but with an 8 hour cure at 50°C and an out life of 5 days at 20°C.
RP801
Our high quality, industry-standard tooling system, with a cure cycle of 8 hours at 60°C and a tack life of 5 days at 20°C.
RP802 Overnight cure
This system doubles the tack life (10 days at 20°C) of RP800 or RP801, and has a 16 hours cure at 60°C or 8 hours at 70°C. The extended tack life and out life provides significant opportunities and cost savings over conventional tooling systems during manufacturing.
RP803
Providing a mid-range solution between our RP801 and RP802, RP803 has a cure cycle of 12 hours at 60°C or 6 hours at 70°C with a tack life of 7 days at 20°C.
Available on PRF’s high quality carbon and glass tooling fabrics.
