IMAGINE MAKING CASTINGS WITH CONVENTIONAL MOLDS IN 3 MINUTES!
with
ALUMILITE
SUPER LIGHT LIQUID CASTING PLASTIC
Alumilite is designed far casting parts or producing molds. Alumilite is
extremely cost effective compared with most casting plastics. It eliminates
the need for expensive injection molding processes and it is so simple to use
that unskilled, low-cost production labor can be used.
Same of the unusual features that Alumilite has:
· Fast curing (3 minutes regardless of volume)
... mixes in 1:1 ratio.
Limitless pouring volume.
· Low shrinkage. No distortion. Starts exotherm
at 115%120% and cures at 215% maximum.
· Will match the most minute detail in each mold,
including fine lettering or image.
· Easily machine able... use any conventional
hi-speed ... no special/expensive.
Carbide or diamond coated cutting edges
required. Will machine flat. Stress free.
· Completely non-abrasive.
· Totally homogeneous after curing... almost
bubble free.'
· When heated, can be reformed and bent, without
breaking.
Alumilite can be used In most applications.
Including drilling jigs, parts duplications, jewelry production, tracing masters,
forming tools, sheets,
plates, miniatures, enclosures. cases, encapsulating, etc.
With the proper parting agent, molds may be made of Alumilite, metal,
plastic, RTV, sealed wood oil base clay, or sealed plaster. Alumilite's low
shrinkage and distortion values allow for quick demolding of most parts
(usually 5 minutes maximum). In its liquid state, Alumilite has low viscosity,
low toxicity and a neutral odor. Alter curing, it is easily paint able with little preparation.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
ALUMILITE must be premixed each time before combining. Combine equal
volumes of A & B. Mix thoroughly and pour promptly. Chill to Increase pot
life. Close containers securely to avoid moisture absorption. Moisture will
cause bubbles. Altering ratio will affect cure time and hardness. Parts A
& B can be filled with thoroughly dried fillers (e.g. alumina, agrishell, micro balloons, etc.).
WARNING: Liquid. and vapor may cause irritation to some people. Avoid contact
with the skin and use adequate ventilation. Wash skin with soap and water. Flush
eyes with water for 15 minutes and get medical attention. CONTAINS polymeric
lsocvanate.
heat service
temperature on Alumilite is 250F you can increase the heat service temperature
up to 450F by adding aluminum filler
WARRANTY: No warranty expressed or implied is made concerning
this data or
results. The user shall make his own test to determine the suitability Of this
material for his particular purpose. Alumlilte's liability IS
limited to the
purchase price of the material.
ALUMILITE HELPFUL INFORMATION
ALUMILITE IS A TYPE OF URETHANE
As with all chemicals you should always take all SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS.
When using Alumilite, even though it has very little odor,
we highly
recommend using Alumilite in a well ventilated area.
DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR BEST RESULTS
Always shake the "B" side or the dark side of Alumilite before
dispensing the desired amount.
Small amounts of Alumilite can be mixed by volume, such as 1oz. "A"
to 1 oz. "B" side.
Larger amounts can be measured by weight or volume.
A preferred method for mixing Alumilite is to add the "A" side to
the "B" side.
when poured together, stir vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds or until a uniform
color is achieved.
Alumilite is now ready to pour into your mold.
Pour slowly into the mold, even though the set time is three minutes you will
have at least 2 full minutes before Alumilite sets up.
If a longer set time is desired, you can cool Alumilite to 50 or 60 degrees
and this will extend the set time to 4 or 5 minutes. Heating does the opposite.
Always make sure the mold is very warm. This will assist in getting a good
cured part and allow a shorter demold time.
When using RTV silicone rubber molds, you can paint the mold with fast drying
lacquer paint. Then pour Alumilite into the mold. Dry metallic or colored powder
or glitter.
When cured, demold the part, the paint will release from the mold and has
chemically bonded to Alumilite.
Painting the mold accomplishes three things:
1. Helps extend the life of your mold.
2. Helps eliminate air bubbles on the surface, caused by surface tension.
3. Gives you a finished painted part.
Alumilite can be colored.
Alumilite Dyes should be mixed into the "A" side only. (5% max by
volume). (Except Black into "B"
Alumilite can be filled with any DRY filler up to 100%.
Alumilite has a 2 year shelf life if the bottles are tightly closed at all
times. This will prevent moisture
Absorption.
TO MAKE THE PLASTIC INTO A PLASTIC (POLYURETHANE)
FOAM
Add 1 to 9 (Max) drops of water to the "B" side, and mix
thoroughly with an power wand stirrer.
Then combine Filler <Micro balloons> to "B" mix thoroughly.
Now add "A" and mix thoroughly & Pour into molds.
