Product Description
EpoxAcast™ 655 + HT Hardener
EpoxAcast™ 655 (formerly Metalset™ A-30) is a versatile aluminum filled castable epoxy resin that is very hard and strong. It is dimensionally stable, even when mass cast up to 512 in³ / 8,390 cm³. Maximum heat resistance is achieved using HT HIGH TEMP hardener (up to 225°F/108°C).
Mold Star™ 30
Mold Star™ mold rubbers are easy to use platinum silicones which are mixed 1A:1B by volume (no weighing scale necessary). Mold Star™ silicones feature relatively low viscosities and vacuum degassing is not required for most applications. Mold Star™ 30 is a harder material, with a 30A Shore hardness.
