The F30 Visual is a very fluid product designed to easily infiltrate small cavities or details of a surface.
It can fill spaces with a diameter of up to 0.1 mm, adapting to various shapes with micron-level accuracy. Once set, it remains flexible and elastic, with a hardness of 30 Shore A, allowing easy removal from intricate parts.
This product is specifically designed for visual inspections of surface conditions.
It accurately replicates surface details, capturing features like tool marks, scratches, streaks, slits, and pitting, as well as shape variations like flatness, undulation, and circularity.
The replica’s high level of detail, along with its stable structure during extraction, ensures reliable inspection outcomes without leaving any residue.
F30 Visual’s black color enhances visibility during inspection.
The F30 Visual is a versatile enough product that can fit multiple applications at a same time!
Visual Surface Finishing control: It can replicate a surface, capturing all imperfections for easier inspection, especially for hard-to-reach or inaccessible features.
Dimension Control with total impression: Its high fluidity and generous removal constraint make it an excellent choice for creating total impressions.
Visual Roughness Inspection: The F30 Visual can be used for roughness inspections with non-contact devices.
To use F30 Visual, always follow the instructions closely. When pouring the product, do it slowly and use a tip to ensure a controlled flow. Make sure it seeps into all corners of the area you are working on. Take care to avoid creating air bubbles during the process. These guidelines apply to all fluid products in the Plastiform range.
Due to its high fluidity, care must be taken when applying it to prevent unwanted spills or dispersions.
Looking for a complete kit to try plastiform?
The case contains all required accessories to use Plastiform. It is the best way to try our solutions for the first time!
Are Plastiform products compatible with all types of metal alloys?
We always recommend carrying out a preliminary test to confirm that your alloy will not adhere to the product, as we have observed several cases of incompatibility with very specific alloys, although this is very rare.
Are Plastiform products sensitive to UV light?
No, our products are not sensitive to them in the short or medium term in their traditional use.
Can a conventional Roughness Meter be used directly on the impression?
A Roughness meter should only be used on rigid products, such as the P80 Ra, which is specially developed for this application.
Can an underwater impression be taken?
Impressioning can work without problems underwater, and more generally in any environment without oxygen.
What is the life span of the products?
Unused products can be stored for up to 3 years. Once opened, the product remains usable for up to 1 year. The replicas produced have an unlimited shelf life.
What does “curing time” means?
The "curing time" is the period after which the impression can be removed from the part following its injection. This is when the impression has achieved approximately 80% of its final hardness, enabling its removal from the form to be replicated.
What does “working time” means?
The "Working time" is the period during which a Plastiform can be altered after injection, maintaining its initial consistency. This means that the chemical reaction between the two components has not yet progressed to the point where the impression begins to harden.
What does “polymerization time” means?
The "polymerization time" is the time required for the impression to reach its final hardness, such as 20 Shore A for F20, 50 Shore A for F50, etc. This indicates when the impression is fully usable, particularly for precise dimensional measurements.
What is the temperature range for the use of this product ?
We recommend using at temperatures ranging from 0°C to 50°C. For best results, we recommend using and storing the product at room temperature, around 20°C.
How to correctly extract a Plastiform impression?
Plastiforms are highly precise, ensuring that once cured, they maintain perfect contact with the walls of the part, almost as if they are glued. To extract an impression: have a firm grip to pull energetically along the axis of the impression—twisting or unscrewing should be avoided. For this, it is essential to use demolding rings.
