Technical Details & Test Data

Test Data

Compression test load (N) Vs deformation (mm)

 - 1

Fatigue test: 500,000 cycles at 1,5Hz frequency with deformation between 0 and 69%
Deformation at cycle end: 5% (ref. NDI-foam 3%)

Casting Information
Density (g/cm³) MPT450MX RH300MX Catalyst (%) Molds T (°C) Cream time (sec) Demolding (min)
* 100.00 10.33 ** 50 5-7 10-12

The amount of main components is given on parts by weight.
*When casting car shock absorbers, it is necessary to keep a 10% higher density than the one required with an NDI-based system.
**Pot life and demolding time are referred to the system without catalyst, Tecnokat D5 can be used to adjust pot life and demolding time. 

Post Curing Information

Do not allow excessive cooling of molded parts between demolding and post-curing. 

Cycle Temperature (°C) Time (hours)
1 70 16

It is recommended to wait 24 h at room temperature before the post-curing cycle.
