Tooling
What we do for this market
The best-looking composite parts begin with the best tools. AOC’s low profile formulations and tooling gelcoats give manufacturers a competitive edge by helping them create smoother, more durable molds faster. Our researchers drew upon expertise in automotive Class A formulations to engineer special additive technology that gives MoldTru formulations a near-zero shrink feature. Create a precise replica of your master model with a formulation that combines ultra-low shrinkage and excellent fiber and filler wetting.
Open Mold Tooling System
MoldTru® LPT-68000 is a pre-promoted, thixotropic vinyl ester low profile tooling formulation. The high-performance mechanical properties of the vinyl ester formulation provide a laminate of quality and integrity with superior surface quality. Key benefits include:
- Reduce build times by up to 50% through being able to build and cure five layers of laminate at once
- Excellent surface finish due to low shrinkage and no glass print
- High reactivity improves the Barcol Hardness results on laminates
Closed Mold Tooling System
AOC’s MoldTru LPT-68001 is an infusible pre-promoted, non-thixotropic vinyl ester low profile tooling formulation. The high mechanical properties of the vinyl ester formulation provides better integrity of complex compound laminates with superior surface quality. Key benefits include:
- Dramatic build time reduction through faster infusion and shorter cure time
- Excellent surface finish due to low shrinkage and no glass print
- Higher glass content enables better mechanical properties
Tooling Gelcoats
AOC’s Vibrin® gelcoats create molds with the highest level of gloss, toughness and longevity. The chemistry is specially designed to work with AOC’s tooling formulations. Key products include:
- Vibrin® G252 & G262
- Vibrin® G910
- Vibrin® G930 barrier coat
