(Leicester, U.K.) strengthens its epoxy materials range with the launch of , a new medium-temperature, everyday tooling material designed for the manufacture of master models, patterns, jigs and fixtures.
Suitable for use across a range of industries including automotive, aerospace and motorsport, the BE368 epoxy tooling board features a good surface finish, a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), improved dimensional stability and an inert surface for wide-ranging compatibility at temperatures up to +165ºC.
“Borne from our long-standing commitment to investing in research and development, the new BE368 is formulated to provide our customers with the option of a new cost-competitive material, for more everyday applications,” John Miller, managing director of Base Materials, says.
Base Materials’ BE368 epoxy tooling material, which is manufactured in-house, is available in a number of board thicknesses up to 150 mm. Base Materials also produces a full range of ancillary products, which includes adhesives, sealers and release agents.
