Key Messages
- RAMPF Advanced Polymers is presenting high-performance board materials and Close Contour Pastes for the construction industry at Totally Concrete I Big Five in Dubai.
- Polyurethane board materials and epoxy pastes of the RAKU® TOOL brand are used to manufacture master molds with outstanding surface quality and excellent dimensional stability.
- Recycled raw materials and near-contour molds reduce the ecological footprint in model and mold making.
- RAKU® TOOL board materials contain up to 30 percent raw material components from chemical recycling. Up to 50 percent of in-house production waste is recycled through a proprietary recycling process.
- The close contour application of RAKU® TOOL epoxy pastes significantly reduces material consumption, milling and finishing effort, as well as the amount of production waste.
The semi-finished products – prefabricated rectangular polyurethane blocks – can be bonded to any shape and in almost any size. Customized RAKU® TOOL adhesives are available in a range of hardness levels and colors. Model-making materials are efficiently milled using CNC machines, while some boards are also suitable for manual processing.
