Smooth-Cast® 320

 Smooth-Cast® 320

Smooth-Cast®320系列为超低粘度通用浇注聚氨酯树脂,成品为几乎无气泡、灰白色浇注件。Smooth-Cast®320树脂为广受欢迎的Smooth-Cast®300系列的姐妹产品,使用SO-Strong®或Ignite®颜色更易于着色。Smooth-Cast®320系列易于混合和浇注,具有便利的1A:1B体积混合比或100A:90B重量混合比。
 
树脂添加填料容易(如URE-FIL®3),并可以使用SO-Strong®或Ignite®颜色着色(Smooth-Cast®325系列着色性比SmoothCast®300系列更好)。完全固化的浇注件坚韧、耐用、可加工和可涂漆。浇注件耐潮湿和温和的溶剂。Smooth-Cast®300应用包括复制中小型雕塑、制作原型模型、特殊效果道具和装饰珠宝。

说明

Safety - Materials should be stored and used in a warm environment (73° F / 23° C). These products have a limited shelf life and should be used as soon as possible. All liquid urethanes are moisture sensitive and will absorb atmospheric moisture. Mixing tools and containers should be clean and made of metal, glass or plastic. Mixing should be done in a wellventilated area. Wear safety glasses, long sleeves and rubber gloves to minimize contamination risk.
 

Applying A Release Agent - A release agent is necessary to facilitate demolding when casting into or over most surfaces. Use a release agent made specifically for mold making (Universal® Mold Release or Mann’s Ease Release® 200 available from Smooth-On or your Smooth-On distributor). A liberal coat of release agent should be applied onto all surfaces that will contact the plastic.

IMPORTANT: To ensure thorough coverage, apply release and brush with a soft brush over all surfaces. Follow with a light mist coating and let the release agent dry for 30 minutes. Smooth-On silicone rubber molds usually do not require a release agent unless casting silicone into the mold. Applying a release agent will prolong the life of the mold.


IMPORTANT: Shelf life of product is reduced after opening. Remaining product should be used as soon as possible. Immediately replacing the lids on both containers after dispensing product will help prolong the shelf life of the unused product. XTEND-IT® Dry Gas Blanket (available from Smooth-On) will significantly prolong the shelf life of unused liquid urethane products.


Measuring and Mixing...

Liquid urethanes are moisture sensitive and will absorb atmospheric moisture. Mixing tools and containers should be clean and made of metal, glass or plastic. Materials should be stored and used in a warm environment (73°F/23°C).

Stir or shake both Part A & Part B thoroughly before dispensing. After dispensing equal volumes of Parts A and B into mixing container (100A:90B by weight) and mix thoroughly. Stir deliberately making sure that you scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing container several times. Be careful not to splash low viscosity material out of the container.


Pouring - Pour your mixture in a single spot at the lowest point of the containment field and let the mixture seek its level. This will help minimize air entrapment.

For Best Results . . . Best results are obtained using a pressure casting technique. After pouring the mixed compound, the entire casting assembly (mold, dam structure, etc.) is placed in a pressure chamber and subjected to 60 PSI (4.2 kg/ cm2) air pressure for the full cure time of the material.

Curing - Important: Use this product with at least room size ventilation or in proximity to a forced outlet air vent and do not inhale/breath fumes. Fumes, which may be visible with a significant mass concentration, will quickly dissipate with adequate ventilation. Castings with significant mass may be hot to the touch and irritate skin immediately following cure. Let casting cool to room temperature before handling.

Demold time of the finished casting depends on mass and mold configuration. Low mass or thin-walled castings will take longer to cure than castings with higher mass concentration. Smooth-Cast® 320 will cure in 7 - 10 minutes (Smooth-Cast® 321 in 30 – 40 minutes and Smooth-Cast® 322 in 2 - 4 hours) depending on mass and mold configuration.

If making rotational or hollow castings, backfilling with a rigid foam (Foam-iT!® 5 or other) will provide lightweight reinforcement. Foam backfilling is recommended if castings will be subjected to temperatures above 85°F / 30°C.

Post Cure - Castings will reach “full cure” faster and achieve maximum physical properties if post cured. Allow material to cure for recommended cure time at room temperature followed by 4 - 6 hours at 150°F/65°C. Allow casting to come to room temperature before handling.

Performance - Cured castings are rigid and durable. They resist moisture, moderate heat, solvents, dilute acids and can be machined, primed/painted or bonded to other surfaces (any release agent must be removed). If machining cured material, wear dust mask or other apparatus to prevent inhalation of residual particles. Castings can be displayed outdoors after priming and painting. Unpainted castings will yellow over time - more quickly when exposed to ultra-violet light.

Because no two applications are quite the same, a small test application to determine suitability is recommended if performance of this material is in question.
