Toolex

Toolex - Tool Grade Resin System

Tooling Gelcoat is formulated from epoxy Bisphenol A Resin. Perfectly suited in production of FRP, moulds for open and closed moulding processes. Mould will have properties like substantial gloss retention, resistance to splitting, stability at high temperature. Tooling gel coats are specially designed to provide a highly polish-able and durable surface to moulds. They are formulated to create a surface capable of yielding hundreds of releases, resist surface damage and work well with a wide range of release agents. These require very high levels of durability to overcome the mechanical and thermal stresses encountered during the curing and demoulding processes. Give long production cycle to be carried out on the mould. The outer surface layer must be able to protect an object from atmospheric, chemical, and ultraviolet radiation.it prevents water absorption inside the fibre of the material as well as deterioration due to aggressive saponification. Indispensable for the production of a mould that is adequately resistant. It provides wet-out, easy air release, low shrinkage, and higher deflection temperature.

COMPARISION CHART

SPECIFICATION	ISO GELCOAT	TOOLEX GELCOAT	BENEFITS
Number of Release Cycle	Made with traditional isophthalic based gelcoat generally after 50 to 70pcs releases there are damages in the die like cracks, star marks, roughness, crazzing.	DIE made with TOOLEX gelcoat no. of releases can be drawn more than 150 to 200pcs without any damages.	1.Reduces Downtime of die and hence high productivity 2. Reduces overall die cost per unit
Finishes	Standard and Dull finish die hence product finish is also dull and poor.	DIE made with TOOLEX is having extraordinary high gloss finish which produces equally excellent finishes in products.	1. Increases saleability of the product 2. Better value addition can be realised
Production	Traditionally Production from a single die is 6-10 pcs in 8hr shift	As Release is fast and smooth so efforts and time in releasing reduces significantly and production increases by 20%	1. Overall production time reduces by 10% 2. Higher production and manpower cost reduction by 10 - 20%
Maintenance	It require regular maintainence	Due to its hardness, strength it doesn’t require buffing and cleaning regularly.	It saves COST and TIME. Production will smooth and Fast.
Ease to apply	As its viscousity is normal labour require more efforts	Its viscosity is low so applying its layer is easy and fast.	It reduce cost of a DYE due to low viscosity quantity will be less apply by 20-30%.
