RENPIM® 5218 Polyol / RENPIM® 5218 Isocyanate

RENPIM® 5218 Polyol / RENPIM® 5218 Isocyanate is a Parts In Minutes© polyurethane that simulates the appearance and physical characteristics of engineering thermoplastics for prototyping and short production runs. They can be used to produce functional prototype parts suitable for use in all major industrial areas including automotive, aerospace, consumer goods, electronic, and leisure applications. RenPIM© 5217 Isocyanate / Polyol is a black material with high impact resistance. Cured parts have little thermal distortion and final properties simulate PP/ABS.

Parts In Minutes® polyurethanes are specifically formulated to be fast curing systems and therefore require processing via application equipment. Huntsman Advanced Materials are pleased to advise on all types of suitable dispensing and mixing equipment for the processing of these materials. Hand mixing or manual processing of these materials is not recommended. Thorough stirring to ensure uniform dispersion of materials is critical, prior to processing.

Moulds

Huntsman Advanced Materials Parts In Minutes© polyurethane systems are compatible with most major silicone suppliers products.Huntsman Advanced Materials can also offer alternative polyurethane and epoxymaterials for the production of moulds, with appropriate release agents.

Combination properties
The reactivity and cured properties of most polyurethane Parts In Minutes© systems can be modified by combination with the slower RenPIM® 5219 Polyol component in order to suit all your particular applications.

Application equipment
Huntsman Advanced Materials is able to recommend equipment suppliers and provide technical help and assistance with respect to selection and operation of application equipment.

Maintenance
Maintenance and cleaning of equipment is expected to be minimal but daily cleaning of mixers may be necessary, depending on the type of mixer used. Huntsman Advanced Materials responsibility for the environment means we do not recommend the use of solvents for cleaning. Static mixers can be discarded directly when the product has gelled, and dynamic mixers should be flushed through with the pure polyol component.

Safety & Health

Handling Precaution

Our products are generally quite harmless to handle provided that certain precautions normally taken when handling chemicals are observed. The uncured materials must not, for instance, be allowed to come into contact with foodstuffs or food utensils, and measures should be taken to prevent the uncured materials from coming in contact with the skin, since people with particularly sensitive skin may be affected. The wearing of impervious rubber or plastic gloves will normally be necessary; likewise the use of eye protection. The skin should be thoroughly cleansed at the end of each working period by washing with soap and warm water. The use of solvents is to be avoided. Disposable paper - not cloth towels - should
be used to dry the skin. Adequate ventilation of the working area is recommended.
