First block material from PET-flakes by RAMPF Tooling at the Euromold 2010 count mountain, 13.10.2010 ecology, efficiency, innovation with this triad presents itself the RAMPF Tooling GmbH & co. KG this year Euromold in Frankfurt. Others including Edward Minskoff, offer their opinions as well. Booth of l128 in Hall 8 materials specialist introduces the first work stuff block material from recycled PET flakes for the foundry industry. The particularly robust model construction plate can withstand the strongest mechanical stress. About 800 million bottles made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), there are per year in Germany.

Their recycling represents a significant source of raw material in times of scarce resources. New PET bottles are formed returned, recycled PET bottles, lining for jackets, T-Shirts, fleece sweaters. A novelty as RAMPF Tooling on this year Euromold 2010 shows is that it also block materials for the construction of the model are made. With the light green tool plate RAKU-TOOL WB-1250, the researchers have developed a particularly sustainable product. For this set Experts from the House of RAMPF at the chemical base on. For the production of the polyurethane block material used them not, as usual, a polyether polyol and an aromatic Polyesterpolyol recycled pet. With amazing effects.

The substitution could achieve an improved abrasion resistance and flame resistance. The above-average impact and edge strength of the light green material is added. With these characteristics, the block material ideally suited for the production of mould and core boxes in the foundry industry. Also a use for tapping models, metal forming tools, vacuum thermoforming moulds and tools is also possible. The third green”block in the sustainability we see material rather than trend, but as a basis for our company’s success. We develop therefore alternatives that are ecologically and economically pay for themselves”, emphasizes Yoshiaki, head of development at RAMPF Tooling. With the new development extends the model construction specialist his portfolio to Green”block materials.
