The semi-rigid HPR65

semi-flexible parts and foundry models

Semi-Rigid PArts
with STRENGTH & FLEXIBILITY
  • An increased impact resistance makes the HPR65 a privileged option for foundry model making
  • Its low exothermic reaction offers the possibility to create big parts
  • Semi-rigid material suitable for flexible parts with living hinges

space

Intermediate hardness
  • Hardness between a rigid product and a rubber material
  • 65 Shore D product with a flexural modulus of 450 MPa
  • Suitable for parts requiring living hinges

space

Superior mechanical properties
  • Extreme impact resistance even on a notched part
  • High elongation at break

space

Low exothermic reaction
  • Possibility to make small parts with details
  • Adapted for mass casting up to >100mm wall thickness

space

Various casting options
  • Can be hand-casted, used in a vacuum casting machine or a two-component mixing and dispensing machine
  • Curing at room temperature or in a 70°C oven to suit any type of equipment and part size
Typical applications

The HPR65 has been developed to make foundry models for sand moulded casting. It can also be used to realise any semi-rigid type of parts like car bumpers or parts with living hinges.
