Maximum-performance products made with RAMPF liquid systems
RAKU® TOOL polyurethanes facilitate the manufacture of unparalleled tooling and modeling products:

> RAKU® TOOL InnoTuf® TP-4009
This high-impact and fast-demold polyurethane system is ideal for producing functional automotive components. RAKU® TOOL InnoTuf® TP-4009 is free of mercury, MOCA, and TDI, exhibits superior heat resistance, and can be processed using hand-batch, vacuum casting, and meter-mix methods.

> RAKU® TOOL InnoFR® FX-8575
This Shore 75D hardness polyurethane system is UL94 V-0 listed and especially suited for the manufacture of large medical device housings that require tinted viewing window elements. RAKU® TOOL InnoFR® FX-8575 exhibits excellent physical properties and clarity. It is easy to handle (room temperature hand-batch systems), tint, and pigment.

> RAKU® TOOL RapidVac® VA-1290
This polyurethane system for hand-batch and vacuum-assisted casting is formulated with hardness Shore 80D and free of mercury, MOCA, and TDI. With a broad range of physical performance properties, it is well suited for use in molding high-quality, void-free automotive components, electronics parts, medical equipment components, and sports/recreation equipment. RAKU® TOOL RapidVac® VA-1290 exhibits excellent heat resistance and is easy to pigment (neutral color).

> RAKU® TOOL EP-2344/EH-2944
In the fall of last year, RAMPF introduced the E84 Class A flame retardant sculpting epoxy RAKU® TOOL EP-2344/EH-2944 to the market. Within a short time, the epoxy has established itself as a go-to-product for the theming industry. The low-density material can be applied to aluminum, fiber glass, wood, and other substrates for textural impressions and artistic expression. There is no running or sagging, and application is easy.

The international RAMPF Group is represented in North America and Canada with four production sites that develop and manufacture:

• Two-component polymer (or synthetic) systems based on polyurethane, epoxy, and silicone
• Mixing & dispensing systems for processing polymers
• Modeling & mold engineering materials for the automotive, marine, and aviation industries, amongst others
• Machine bases, machine frames, and other structural components made from mineral casting (polymer concrete)
• Carbon fiber and fiberglass composites parts for the aerospace and medical industry
