resin and non-metallic moulds
Polyester and epoxy resins in liquid form may be used to produce moulds, however, their relative life is short and thus are normally restricted to prototyping and short production runs, of say, 100 components.
Rota Design provides advice based upon experience and the best balance for any given product design and application.
mould coatings
There is a wide spectrum of coatings available, all with slightly different release properties.
Black Maus Coating BMC™ is a highly effective alternative to Teflon™ or other PTFE based coatings and conventional release agents.
Combining the permanent release functions of PTFE with the controllability of semi-permanent release agents it is available in standard, matt, metallic and ceramic coatings and specified for new moulds or used to refurbish existing moulds.
