The P51 SD is the most rigid product of the range. It is dedicated to contact measurement of mechanical clearance or simple external forms.
It have a hardness of 51 Shore D, equivalent to 100 Shore A it support no removal constraint. It is designed for applications requiring stable, non-deformable impressions.
Its unique properties make it useful for mechanical clearance, spacing, and air gap control. It polymerizes quickly in around one minute and a half, ensuring a fast setup.
The pasty consistency of P51 SD prevents it from flowing, making it easy to position on different control surfaces.
It can be crushed to a thickness of 0.1 mm, allowing for precision in various applications. This plastiform is also used for simple dimensional inspections and is compatible with contact measuring machines.
It does not accept any extraction stress, so it must be handled carefully during the demoulding process.
Its rigidity and hardness make it a robust choice for certain industrial and inspection applications.
The P51 SD plastiform is useful for several specific applications, including:
Dimensional Control: It can perform simple external forms measurements with contact measuring devices.
Gap or Mechanical Clearence measurement: Its consistency and hardness make it a good choice to be compressed in these tiny spaces to capture their size.
However, because it cures quickly, you need to consider this factor when applying it.
Proper preparation, like degreasing the part before injecting the product, is crucial for successful polymerization.
To ensure proper application, follow the provided instructions for use.
They will guide you through the correct handling and application of this product.
Missteps, like using it on a dirty surface, could negatively affect the plastiform’s polymerization process, leading to suboptimal results.
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 all products compatible with the Double Blade Cutter ?
No. The double blade cutter can only cut semi-flexible impressions. You can check on the label and the technical sheet if the product you are interest in is usable with the Cutter.
Which application gun should we choose?
The choice of the application material depends on the cartridge size. For 50mL cartridges, there are two options: the manual DM-50 gun or the pneumatic DP-50 gun. The main difference lies in ease of use; the DP-50 is less cumbersome for users who take repeated impressions. For 400mL cartridges, the options are the manual DS-400 or the pneumatic DP-400 guns. Additionally, there is the DB-400, a battery-operated gun.
Which product should I use to control dimensions of my part?
Every application and every part are different. This is why we developed the Plastiform Finder, which can help you find the right product after asking you some questions about the context. Use it or contact us to find the best product !
What is the purpose of Plastin?
It is an industrial modeling clay that can be used as a replacement for conventional modeling clay. It is dedicated to industry, so it is permanently reusable and leaves no traces.
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 “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 “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 “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 do the colors of the products represent?
The colour of the product is only a visual indicator that allows products to be easily distinguished.
