Repro Fast-Cast Polyurethanes
Repro Fast-Cast Polyurethanes are world-renowned as the leading
class of quick-curing casting resin systems available today. These
products are designed for ease of mixing, quick demolding, and
unsurpassed accuracy. Repro is manufactured by Freeman and has
become the standard that all other fast-setting castable urethanes
are measured against.

Repro features:
• One to one mix ratio by weight or volume
• Very low shrinkage
• Low viscosity ensuring easy pouring characteristics
and excellent surface reproduction

Polyurethane Elastomers – Overnight Cure – Flexible

Urethane rubber is generally less expensive than silicone rubber and


more abrasion resistant, making it a preferred material for concrete
and architectural castings. However, flexible urethanes are not self-
releasing and therefore require a more thorough procedure (wax and
PVA) to facilitate clean and easy part release.

Polyurethane Elastomers – Rapid Cure

This group of polyurethanes are used to produce parts that simulate


the appearance and performance of injection molded thermoplastic
parts. These products are low viscosity systems designed to be used
with automated dispensing equipment (pg. 99) and low cost tooling.
With their extremely fast gel times, these formulas permit demolding
of durable parts in 15-45 minutes.

Mold Making Silicone Rubbers

Bluestar RTV Silicone Rubber (also known as Rhodorsil®) is


used extensively in applications where a flexible, self-releasing
mold material is required, specifically rapid prototype tooling,
polyurethane casting, and general silicone mold-making. This top
quality line of silicone systems offers high accuracy, high heat
resistances, and excellent tear strength and elongation properties.
Silicone rubbers are available in two types—addition cure
formulations that feature a platinum-based catalyst and
condensation cure silicones that feature a tin-based catalyst.

Addition Cure Silicone Rubber Condensation Cure Silicone Rubber


Addition Cure Silicones Offer The Following: Condensation Cure Silicones Offer The Following:
1. Unlimited shelf life (in cured state) 1. Low shrinkage, though not as low as platinum-catalyzed rubber
2. Very low shrinkage – for increased mold accuracy 2. Softer cured hardness (lower durometer) than addition cure
3. Higher durometers – for greater mold stability materials, making them ideal for molds with deep undercuts.
4. Excellent heat resistance – up to 400°F intermittently 3. Heat resistance up to 350°F intermittently.
5. A platinum based catalyst that makes it ideal for polyurethane 4. A tin based catalyst that creates a more inhibition resistant
casting because this material, when cured, won’t inhibit the material. However, these rubbers, when cured, may inhibit the
curing of the urethane. curing of urethanes when poured into them.

Epoxy Casting Resins

Freeman and Huntsman Advanced Materials offer a broad, diverse line


of pourable epoxy casting resins for the production of foundry patterns,
core boxes, molds, fixtures, and tooling.
Iron-filled epoxy casting resins (black in color) are heavy, highly
wear-resistant compounds that are suitable for foundry patterns or
thin-gauge metal-forming tools. Aluminum-filled epoxy casting resins
(gray in color) are not as heavy, are more readily machinable, and
are available with higher temperature resistances. Epoxy casting
resins generate heat (exotherm) during the curing process. This heat
can become excessive if the epoxy is poured thicker than the sug-
gested casting thickness, causing warping, cracking and/or brittleness.
Therefore, be careful to choose the correct system to pour your part.
