HIGH PERFORMANCE ELASTOMERS HPE

long-lasting moulds for concrete casting.

A complete System for concrete Casting WEARPROOF POLYURETHANE MOULDS
  • Wide range of hardnesses from 40 Shore A to 55 Shore D
  • Superior tear and chemical resistance
  • Adapted to the casting of big moulds
to the comparison table 

space

Superior tear & chemical resistance
  • High level of mechanical properties with increased abrasion and tear resistance, even on notched parts
  • Formulated by prioritising chemical resistance and wearproofness, in order to maximise the number of castings in one mould
  • SYNTHENE has developed partnerships with trustworthy release agent manufacturers, in order to recommend fully compatible products and preserve the mould over time

space

Adapting to a high level of details
  • With its wide range of hardnesses, the HPE system offers the possibility to adapt to highly detailed parts
  • Low hardnesses will be favoured for complex shapes, whereas higher hardnesses like 85 Shore A will be the best option for more simple shapes and longer-lasting moulds

space

Optimized for concrete mould casting
  • This PU elastomer adjusts to any part size, allowing single castings even over 100kg without risk of high exothermic reaction
  • Formulated to have a good temperature resistance, from cold (-40°C) to elevated (+90°C) temperatures
  • Can be hand-casted or used in a two-component mixing machine

space

A curing at room temperature
  • Polimerisation at ambient temperature in order to adapt to any type of mould size
  • This parameter has been studied to limit environmental impact
  • Making more stable mould dimensions with low shrinkage
WHY PU MOULDS ?

With its higher hardness versus silicone for concrete mould making, polyurethane present outstanding wearproofness.
Depending on the project and with a suitable release agent, one can make between 200 and 400 castings in one single mould.
