Tough(er) Tooling Board

General Plastics Manufacturing Company introduced FR-4677 Red Tooling Board, a new, tough, high-density product for foundry patterns, hydro-form tooling and other applications where a strong, abrasion-resistant substrate is needed.

Created to answer ongoing needs for pattern materials for the sand-mold casting industry, FR-4677 Red Tooling Board withstands the heat, abrasion and binder chemicals used in foundry sands while giving long pattern life. It also works well in stretch-forming and hydro-forming tools, where its toughness and high compressive strength permit outstanding performance at low cost (when compared to metal tools).

This highly cross-linked polymer board, with a nominal density of 77 pounds per cubic foot, is dimensionally stable and easily machined with CNC equipment. It contains no abrasive fillers and is formulated with especially tough urethane ingredients. The resulting balance of properties makes the tooling board well-suited to its intended applications. Polishing the surface of the material to a very smooth finish is quite easy, if desired.

Priced competitively, FR-4677 Red Tooling Board is supplied in board form in thickness dimensions of 2”, 3” and 4”.
