Neomould® 2017-S-1

Zero shrinkage resin for making composite Tooling through Hand lay-up processes

Product description

Neomould® 2017-S-1 feature zero shrinkage during cure and has a low peak exotherm (both in thin and thock layers).

Consequently the resin is the ideal choice for making molds with both great surface quality and dimensional stability.

Major applications

Neomould® 2017-S-1 is a novel tooling resin, setting new standards in composites tool manufacturing and bringing multiple benefits to the professional toolmaker. The zero-shrinkage feature of Neomould® 2017-S-1 resin enables to make parts that perfectly mirror plug surface and dimensions.

At the same time the processing of the resin is fairly easy and robust. Because of the thixotropic nature of Neomould® 2017-S-1 resin and high viscosity at low shear rates, the application on vertical surfaces can be done without sagging. The low viscosity at high shear rates, makes the resin easy to apply in Hand lay-up and Spray-up processes.

Neomould® 2017-S-1 was developed for easy processing with good wet out of fiber reinforcement. The color of the resin allows easy control of air pockets and bubbles during laminating. The resin exhibits tack free cure without negative effect on secondary bonding. Enhanced thixotropic behavior allows buildup of thicker laminate layers in one go without slip or drain from vertical surfaces.

Key benefits

Great surface quality.
Suitable for thick laminate because of low peak exotherm and thixotropic behavior.
Easy processing through excellent fiber wetting.
Resin color allows for easy control of air bubbles during lamination.
