Die casting moulds - Import export

Together with the Fachhochschule Münster – University of Applied Sciences we are working on ALWA PERM (patent No. 2583995). This is a metal-filled casting resin for producing a porous, resin-bound mould. These materials are applicable in the areas of thermoforming, the ceramic industry, intake moulds and devices, pneumatic cushioning, the filter industry, etc. ALWA PERM allows a castable production of porous metallic materials with a binder for the first time. The system offers a highly accurate mould surface reproduction. The profile characteristics goes far beyond the current state of the art. NO MORE DRILLING OF VACUUM HOLES! NO DAMAGE OF THE MOULD SURFACE DUE TO DRILLING HOLES

The patented casting resin system ALWA MOULD D consists of two resin components and an aluminium filler. The fast curing of the material allows to produce your own technologically highest quality moulds in just a few hours. As our material is very good castable, compact moulds of any desired volume can be made from our product, such as acrylic baths, boats, etc. (<1 kg – 2500 kg). In comparison to other materials (e.g., glass fibre reinforced plastic), the system is more temperature-resistant, allows castings without air bubbles and does not have to be post-cured. Furthermore, the finished mould is easy machinable (e.g., drilling, milling, grinding, planning, sawing, turning, etc.). ALWA MOULD D moulds can be modified with repair filler, so that a fresh view can be created at an early stage of a new design process and prototypes can be examined at short notice.

ALWA repair filler (art. no. 5100001) is used in order to repair casting resin moulds. The filler is mixed with 1 – 3 % hardener powder.

Aluminium perforated sheets are used in order to reinforce the casting resin moulds.

ALWA MOULD SLV is a universal two-component fast casting PU resin for mould making. It is used for the production of milling devices, negatives, product holders, foundry moulds, mould plates, copy moulds, core boxes, pattern plates, casting moulds, prototype parts, supporting moulds and synthetic cast. It consists of a beige-brown low viscosity resin component A (polyol mixture) and a red-brown, low viscosity hardener (component B) based on isocyanate (Methylendi(phenylisocyanat)e = MDI). Two types are available with different pot life: *ALWA MOULD SLV 3 ~ 3 min. pot life *ALWA MOULD SLV 9 ~ 9 min. pot life

ALWA MOULD P is a cold curing casting resin for the production of porous moulds, slabs and blocks for the ceramic industry. It is a porous and high-strength plastic, which is well-suited for high pressure casting applications. ALWA MOULD P can be used in various areas of the tableware and sanitary ceramics, technical ceramics, plastic mould procedure as well as various filtration processes. The high stability and defined porosity of the material allows highly accurate mould surface reproductions. With ALWA MOULD P various geometric moulds for filtration processes of suspensions can be produced. ALWA MOULD P can be used for ceramic slip pressure casting procedures. In this procedure, water is removed by a filtration process of a clay suspension (slip), so that an increasing clay layer is built on the mould wall over time. The moulds, slabs and blocks of ALWA MOULD P are easily machinable (e.g., drilling, milling).

ALWA HT RESIN is a resin-based on isocyanate and epoxy (EP), which reacts after adding a catalyst. ALWA HT RESIN offers a range of possibilities for producers of fibre-reinforced materials (e.g., glass fibre, kevlar and carbon), semi-finished and finished goods. The system is also suitable for prepreg and reaction compounds. ALWA HT RESIN is particularly interesting for the aerospace and aircraft industry as well for the rail transport, automotive and electronics industry. The application area of epic resins are electro casting resins, lamination and injection technology (RTM procedure), vacuum infusion, casting and ramming compounds, impregnation resin, casting and injection moulding process as well as prepreg technologies, among others. ALWA HT RESIN is offered in two versions. *ALWA HT RESIN M100 with approx. 50 mPa s *ALWA HT RESIN M2200 with approx. 2200 mPa s The resins can be mixed with one another which enables a flexible adjustment of the viscosity.
