The F30 XL is ideal for large total impressions when you need to measure a big radius or diameter.
The final replica is flexible, with a final hardness of 30 Shore A, allowing it to resist the stresses and deformations caused by manual extraction of the impression.
The F30 XL is recommended for controlling complex internal shapes; however, ensure that the Extraction Stress does not exceed 15%. It is also very useful for protecting one or multiple parts by creating a masking mold.
The impression offers results with a micron resolution, very accurate and matching the dimensions of the original part. All properties of the part (shape, appearance, dimensions) are precisely reproduced in the impression.
The replica is not damaged during the extraction process, ensuring accurate results: it have shape memory. The F30 XL leaves no trace inside the part after removal.
The properties of the F30 XL also allow it to protect or preserve parts and can be used as a tailored seal or isolant.
As with all high-volume products, the F30 XL has a longer than normal working time. This extended time allow users to apply the mixture completely in large volumes before it start to polymerize.
The F30 XL is designed to meet the following applications:
Dimensional Control: When you need to measure the radius or diameter of complex internal forms.
Protection, masking: Custom protective molds against surface treatments.
Custom joint and sealing: To ensure a component is waterproof or well isolated.
It can also be used for the dimensional control of simple internal forms.
When using this product in bottle or cans, you have to manually mix both components in a 1:1 ratio. Strictly follow the guidelines in the instructions for use and Technical Sheet.
Manual mixing requires careful attention to the quantities mixed and the product’s working time.
We recommend pouring the F30 XL slowly, allowing it to flow into every corner while avoiding air bubbles. These instructions also apply to all other high-volume fluid products in the Plastiform range.
As the replica is very flexible, its dimensions should only be checked with visual measuring machines such as: Profile projectors, Microscopes, Optical Measuring Devices, etc.
LOOKING FOR A COMPLETE KIT TO TRY PLASTIFORM?
The Big Volum Starting Kit contains all required accessories to use Plastiform Big Volumes. It is the best way to try our solutions for the first time!
No, the mixers are only provided with the 10.2L cans, as the bottles can be mixed by shaking them energetically, and the cartridges don't need to be mixed.
Why do I need to mix the components with the mixers when using XL Cans?
When not used for a certain amount of time, it is highly recommended to mix both components separately using the mixer to ensure the A and B components are homogeneous before application.
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.
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 is the purpose of the Double Blade Cutter?
The Cutter has been specially developed to facilitate the use of Plastiform impressions. It allows a slice to be cut in the axis of an impression in order to exploit its profile more easily on optical measuring instruments. It is customizable according to your needs.
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.
