New Casting System for the Sanitary Ware Industry
Why has RAMPF developed a new Shore A55 system for the sanitary ware industry?
As guidelines for materials are becoming increasingly strict and previous systems are no longer permitted on the market, RAMPF has risen to the challenge and developed an easy-to-process casting resin with a low hazard classification – RAKU® TOOL PC 3406-1 / PH 3906.
Where will the new Shore A55 casting resin be used and what is the production process?
The new casting system will be used in sanitary ware for production tools for manufacturing plaster molds.
Production process
- First, a master model is created. Functionality and design are paramount at this stage.
- A master mold is cast from the master model. The master mold can also be directly CNC-milled.
- The master mold is used to run the pilot series and produce the tool with the Shore A55 casting resin in combination with other systems from the RAKU® TOOL product range.
- A schematic of the tool is shown in the following image:

Benefits of the new Shore A55 casting resin:
RAKU® TOOL PC-3406-1 / PH-3906 kann direkt auf dem noch feuchten Gips verarbeitet werden – es entstehen keine Irritationen im Formstoff (Hautbildung, Blasenbildung). Darüber hinaus ist das neue Gießsystem reparaturfreundlich und schleifbar.
Weitere Pluspunkte:
- Große Zeitersparnis, da keine Trocknung der Gipsformen notwendig
- Leicht zu entformen, ausgezeichnete Detailtreue
- Ältere Formen weisen keine Nachschwindung auf
- Nahezu jedes Trennmittel ist verwendbar
