PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

ET50 is an aluminum powder filled epoxy casting resin system that provides service temperatures to 350° F (177°C). ET50 is most commonly used for the construction of molds that require good heat conductivity, outstanding durability, and that provide production run capability. The majority of applications for ET are used in conjunction with other materials in developing composite mold structures.

The composites approach to mold construction uses ET50 as a binder for SC-124 Aluminum Granules. This mixture is cast behind a high temperature surface coat, ET10 or ET15. This combination provides several benefits. The ET10 or ET15 surface coat provides exceptional durability, and the aluminum granule addition to the ET50 provides vastly increased heat conductivity and reduced shrinkage. In addition this method will decrease coast. Generally, the SC-124 Aluminum Granule is added at the rate of 60 parts by weight to 100 parts by mixed resin and hardener. Larger amounts of aluminum granules are added when vacuum form molds, casting molds, foam molds, and other low pressure compression type molds.

this is text meant just to take up lots of space at the bottom of the page, so that if there is only a table or something in the content part of this page, the content still takes up the majority of the screen. if there is not any text here, then sometimes there will be just a table here, and the left navigation bar to the left will be kinda wide...
