Innovative Polymers supports customers with a variety of “accessory” materials and equipment used in rapid prototyping and part production. Among these products are:

• Pigments are available from Innovative Polymers in a full range of opaque colors and transparent tints. We also specialize in color matching services.
• Release Agents available from Innovative Polymers include paste wax for hand application and aerosol silicone for spray application.
• Dessicant Cartridges are supplied for drying meter/mix dispensing equipment and 55-gallon drum vents.
• DP-400 Cartridge Dispensing System is designed for fast, waste-free dispensing of a variety of polyurethanes in the Innovative Polymers product line including Rapid Cast, Fast Cure and High Performance Polyurethanes. The DS-400 System is comprised of a lightweight, hand-held pneumatic gun, 400 ml cartridges in either 1:1 or 2:1 resin:hardener configurations, and static mix nozzles. Customers can then purchase economical, large containers of polyurethane resin and hardener and fill cartridges with the required amount of material for a project. Benefits of cartridge use include precise ratio control and convenient application without incurring the cost of pre-packaged cartridges. Innovative Polymers can recommend third party packaging specialists to customers who require that service.
• VS-1000 Vacuum De-Gassing Equipment is a compact system for easy degassing of polyurethanes before injection into a mold to eliminate air bubbles and prevent voids in the final casting. The equipment is comprised of a vacuum chamber with clear acrylic top and pump installed on a mobile cart for easy movement around the shop. The cart also has room for weighing and mixing as well as a small storage area.

InnoTooling™ Liquid Plastic Urethane Tooling Materials

Details

Category: Products

Innovative Polymers manufactures Shore A and Shore D hardness polyurethanes that are specifically formulated for tooling applications. We also supply a broad range of RTV silicone rubbers for moldmaking.  Molds, patterns and fixtures cast from polyurethanes or RTV silicone rubbers significantly reduce costs and lead times compared with metal tooling. “Soft” molds are ideal for rapid production of 10 to 100 high quality, thermoplastic-like prototypes. Patterns and fixtures cast from polyurethanes feature excellent dimensional accuracy and stability as well as outstanding abrasion resistance for extended service life.The products are easy to mix and pour, set fast and cure at room temperature.

Key properties include:

Polyurethanes

• Hardness ranges: Shore 70-95A and Shore 40-60D
• Minimal shrinkage
• Low exotherm to accommodate large castings in a single pour
• Good mechanical characteristics with high elongation and tear strengths
• Outstanding reproduction of detail

RTV Silicones

• Shore A hardness ranges from 5-70A.
• Minimal to no shrinkage
• Excellent elongation and tear strength
• Outstanding reproduction of detail

Mold Making and Casting | RTV Silicone Rubber

Details

Category: Products

A full range of RTV Silicone Rubbers is available from Innovative Polymers for casting durable molds that are suitable for building accurate prototypes for a variety of applications. The RTV Silicone Rubbers exhibit low to no shrinkage and provide for outstanding replication of fine details.

Innovative Polymers supplies two different types of RTV Silicone Rubbers to meet customer needs:

• P series Silicone Rubbers are addition cure systems that produce molds with virtually no shrinkage. Curing of the materials may be inhibited by tin, sulfur or amines, occurs in total confinement and can be accelerated with heat. P series RTV Silicone Rubbers produce molds with excellent heat resistance and elongation.
• GI series Silicone Rubbers cure via condensation at room temperature over virtually any surface. The systems feature very high elongation and tear strength.

Physical properties included on in this chart were obtained using various cure schedules. Please refer to each product's data bulletin for the specific cure schedule used to obtain the values shown above.

Inno-FR™ Flame Retardant Liquid Urethanes

Details

Category: Products

Creating long-lasting, flame retardant goods ranging from electronic parts to medical devices, gaming machine components to automotive parts, Inno-FR™ liquid plastic casting resins meet UL 94 V-O requirements. Several of the polyurethanes are Yellow Card certified at United Laboratories (UL).  Polymers in the Inno-FR™ Series include:

• RC-79D, a 1:1 by-weight rigid urethane exhibiting high flexural properties, heat resistance, and a 55-second gel time. 

• TP-4014, TP-4015 and TP-4016, rigid urethanes developed for applications requiring high impact strength and heat resistance. 

• FX-8061, FX-8071, FX-8081, and FX-8091, 60A-90A hardness elastomers that feature excellent tear strength and elongation.

• FX-8575, our clear flame retardant urethane developed for artists and environments that require either clarity or elaborate color designs such as stained glass, swirls, or cracked ice effects.

• FX-8585, our newest FR material which offers a 7-minute gel time and 266°F heat deflection temperature if post-cured.
