Thermoforming moulds - Import export

225 gr. spin split glass fibre mat as well as 450 gr. emulsion bound glass fibre mat are offered.

Silicone tubes are used for the vacuum channels.

Steel wires are required for the vacuum channels.

Copper pipes are used as heating and cooling coils (very soft and, therefore, easy to bend).

Aluminium perforated sheets are used in order to reinforce the casting resin moulds.

Release agent H1 (art. no. 9519000) is used to release patterns and moulds. Release agent H1 is applied in a thin coat with a brush or a soft sponge. After the solvent has evaporated, a release film is formed.

ALWA release wax (art. no. 9516000) is used to release patterns and moulds. ALWA release wax is applied in a thin coat with a brush or a soft sponge. After the solvent has evaporated, a polishable release film is formed.

ALWA release spray (art. no. 9515000) is used to release patterns and moulds. After the solvent has evaporated, a strong release film is formed. ALWA release spray may not be polished.

ALWA release lacquer (art. no. 9510000) is used to release patterns and moulds. ALWA release lacquer is applied in a thin coat with a brush or a sponge. A thin coat of ALWA release lacquer can also be sprayed on with a conventional spray gun. We recommend to spray on approx. 2 to 3 layers. After approx. 20 min. a strong release film is formed. The drying process can be accelerated by hot air.

Master patterns must be treated with ALWA surface tension remover (art. no. 9500000), so that the ALWA release lacquer does not roll off. ALWA surface tension remover is applied in a thin coat with a brush or a sponge. After approx. 10 min. the solvent is evaporated and ALWA release lacquer can be applied.

ALWA acryl sealer is used to seal porous surfaces, such as wood, gypsum and rigid foams (not suitable for polystyrene foam). The primer dries in the air and forms a strong film. Apply a thin layer of ALWA acryl sealer evenly with a brush. If 3 % hardener powder is added, the curing process can be reduced to approx. 30 min.

ALWA plasticine is used to repair master patterns, round off sharp edges, seal casting boxes and build a parting plane.

ALWA PU foam consists of component A (art. no. 9700005) and component B (art. no. 9701006) and is used, for instance, to produce displacers. The mixing ratio between component A and component B is 1 : 1.2 and the density is approx. 30 kg/m³.

ALWA repair filler (art. no. 5100001) is used in order to repair casting resin moulds. The filler is mixed with 1 – 3 % hardener powder.

The solvent combination contains methyl methacrylate (MMA) and is used for diluting and cleaning.

ALWA MOULD SLV is a universal two-component fast casting PU resin for mould making. It is used for the production of milling devices, negatives, product holders, foundry moulds, mould plates, copy moulds, core boxes, pattern plates, casting moulds, prototype parts, supporting moulds and synthetic cast. It consists of a beige-brown low viscosity resin component A (polyol mixture) and a red-brown, low viscosity hardener (component B) based on isocyanate (Methylendi(phenylisocyanat)e = MDI). Two types are available with different pot life: *ALWA MOULD SLV 3 ~ 3 min. pot life *ALWA MOULD SLV 9 ~ 9 min. pot life

ALWA EPT 210 is a laminate and backfilling resin. Laminates can be produced with ALWA EPT 210 in order to manufacture glass fibre plastic parts, gauges, templates, moulds and applications with diverse fillers. ALWA EPT 210 is an epoxy resin that has a low viscosity and a light yellow colour. Under exothermic reaction, it cures in connection with the light yellow hardener H 10 at room temperature. The mixture shows a low viscosity and is particularly appropriate for laminating layers of up to 8 mm. For thicker laminates the application of layers must be interrupted several times in order to avoid too high reaction temperatures in the laminate.

The patented casting resin system ALWA MOULD D consists of two resin components and an aluminium filler. The fast curing of the material allows to produce your own technologically highest quality moulds in just a few hours. As our material is very good castable, compact moulds of any desired volume can be made from our product, such as acrylic baths, boats, etc. (<1 kg – 2500 kg). In comparison to other materials (e.g., glass fibre reinforced plastic), the system is more temperature-resistant, allows castings without air bubbles and does not have to be post-cured. Furthermore, the finished mould is easy machinable (e.g., drilling, milling, grinding, planning, sawing, turning, etc.). ALWA MOULD D moulds can be modified with repair filler, so that a fresh view can be created at an early stage of a new design process and prototypes can be examined at short notice.

Together with the Fachhochschule Münster – University of Applied Sciences we are working on ALWA PERM (patent No. 2583995). This is a metal-filled casting resin for producing a porous, resin-bound mould. These materials are applicable in the areas of thermoforming, the ceramic industry, intake moulds and devices, pneumatic cushioning, the filter industry, etc. ALWA PERM allows a castable production of porous metallic materials with a binder for the first time. The system offers a highly accurate mould surface reproduction. The profile characteristics goes far beyond the current state of the art. NO MORE DRILLING OF VACUUM HOLES! NO DAMAGE OF THE MOULD SURFACE DUE TO DRILLING HOLES

There are a variety of methods used to process plastic. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages and are better suited for specific applications. These methods include: injection molding, blow molding, thermoforming, transfer molding, reaction injection molding, compression molding, and extrusion.

Thermoplastic Vulcanisate or TPV compounds are high performance materials designed for demanding and dynamic applications. They are composed of a highly vulcanised rubber phase dispersed throughout a thermoplastic matrix and combine the processing ease, efficiency and recyclability of a thermoplastic with the improved flexibility, low compression set and resistance to aggressive fluids of a vulcanised rubber. This combination makes TPV’s ideal for variety of applications in several markets such as automotive, construction and appliances.
