Non destructive Plastiform control by TESA TECHNOLOGY

PLASTIFORM – Non-destructive testing by taking impressions

PLASTIFORM moulding pastes allow print molding of complex internal machined parts, which can then be viewed and checked, for instance, on an optical, non-contact measuring instrument. The physical properties of these resins allow to produce prints perfectly stable over time, insensitive to external conditions and thus usable as master standards.

PLASTIFORM addition products consist of two components which have to be mixed in equal proportion to ensure a correct polymerization. Before taking impressions, it is essential to carefully clean and degrease the area to be reproduced. The addition components do not contain chlorine, fluorine or sulfur. They are neither toxic nor polluting and can therefore be used without special restrictions.

The fluid consistency products BAD and DAV are recommended for taking small and medium-sized internal and full prints, they reproduce the smallest details and are suited for simple and complex shapes.

The product with a pasty consistency (RGX 80), the hardest product of the cartridge range, with its low level of elongation and its weak elasticity, is recommended for taking internal and total prints of parts of various sizes, which do not show particular extraction difficulties. While LKAD, with a mastic consistency, is best suited for taking internal, external and sectorial prints of medium size. The application of this product is done by hand. Having a really low elasticity, it can be used on parts that can be easily removed.

All products of PLASTIFORM range (cartridges, injectors, injection handle, fine nozzles, cutter, degreasing aerosol, plastin, etc.) are available both individually and in a practical full case that contains them all.
