DEVELOPMENT OF MODELS

Axson has developed a wide range of products intended for CNC and other control machining methods.

Machinable slabsExtrudable pastes Finishing

These slabs can be quickly assembled and machined to create shapes, in mass, with smooth and precise surfaces. PROLAB 65 :
Polyurethane slab with 0.65 density, used for functional mock-ups as well as models, thanks to its high dimensional stability and a temperature resistance of 80°C. LAB 973 :
Epoxy slab specially designed for creating models for low temperature prepreg moulds, thanks to its exceptional dimensional stability up to 130°C. Paste products are intended for extrusion machine deposit on a pre-form, and then machined to the required measurements. Several surface densities and hardnesses are available depending on the final intended use.

Epoxy

SC 166:
Epoxy paste with 0.82 density and a hardness of 62 Shore D. Used for design shape studies, negatives to produce moulds by infusion and direct mould for laminating in wet lay-up or by infusion process. SC 300:
High resistance epoxy paste (density 1.58, hardness 88 Shore D, TG: 88°C) for creating models for low temperature prepreg tools.

Polyurethane

SCP 270:
Polyurethane extrudable paste (density 0.7, hardness 52 Shore D) Easy to apply, fast polymerization with very little shrinkage. Development of negative models for mould production. Mastercoat 890:
Epoxy surface coating for spray application for models in Prolab 65 and Lab 973 for a high finish surface state. RPM 712 N :
Single component permanent pore-sealer for model and mould surface preparation.

CHOICE OF GELCOATS:

Epoxy gelcoats are designed for their chemical and thermal resistance, for parts or tools. Depending on the references, special characteristics forshine rework (GC1), abrasion resistance (GC2) or special properties (GC3).

Parts:Tools:

GC1 050/10:
