Easy Flo Series 60, 95, 120, Easy Flo Clear
|
Super low viscosity casting resin. Low viscosity equates to easy mixing,
excellent detail penetration, and the most bubble-free castings without
employing vacuum degassing and pressure casting techniques.
Easy Flo 60 is an outstanding 1:1 (by volume), white, polyurethane plastic
with the lowest mixed viscosity available, 60 cP.
Easy Flo 95 - 5 minute working time, 20-60 minute demold time; off white, 95 cP.
Easy Flo 120 is is similar to EasyFlo 60, but designed for rotocasting, slush casting
or lay-up applications where lightweight, hollow castings are needed.
Easy Flo Clear - Great for casting with metals and other colors. Has a slight amber tint.

Poly 15 Series
Pourable casting resins. Poly 15 Series liquid plastics are useful
for production of decorative objects, parts, lightweight mold shells,
tools, models, patterns, fixtures, duplicate masters, vacuum forming
molds and general tooling use. Poly 15-6, 1512, and 1512X have the
feel and density of wood or thermoplastics and Poly 15-3 and 15- 3X
are more like stone. Poly 1512 Clear is useful for casting transparent
parts or for pigmenting/color casting. For bubble-free, clear castings,
best results are obtained with the use of vacuum and/or pressure.
Poly 1512 Clear can be used for cold cast bronze or other applications
utilizing dry fillers.

PolyFoam Series Casting Foams
 PolyFoam Series Casting Foams consist of liquid Parts A and B that, after mixing, form self-skinning foams. PolyFoam can be used to cast rigid or flexible objects with densities in the range of 3-20 lb/ft³. Considered PolyFoam for production of decorative objects, lightweight mold shells, production parts, tools, models, patterns, fixtures, duplicate masters and general tooling use. PolyFoam systems do not contain toluene diisocyanate, MOCA, heavy metals or HCFCs, and are practically odorless. PolyFoam R-2, R-5 and R-8 are rigid foams. PolyFoam F-5 is flexible for casting soft parts.
PolyFoam R-2 is a 1:1 mix (by weight or volume) polyurethane self-skinning rigid foam that has a free-rise density of 2 lb per cubic foot. PolyFoam rigid foams are excellent for casting functional as well as decorative objects that need to be lightweight and rigid. Also great for lightweight mold shells or mother molds. Generally PolyFoam products are poured into TinSil or PlatSil silicone molds or PolyCoated Poly 74 & 75 Series polyurethane rubber molds.
PolyFoam R-5 is a 1:1 mix (by weight or volume) polyurethane self-skinning rigid foam that has a free-rise density of 5 lb per cubic foot. PolyFoam rigid foams are excellent for casting functional as well as decorative objects that need to be lightweight and rigid. Also great for lightweight mold shells or mother molds. Generally PolyFoam products are poured into TinSil or PlatSil silicone molds or PolyCoated Poly 74 & 75 Series polyurethane rubber molds.

Poly-Optic 14 Series
Poly-Optic 14 Series plastics are specifically designed for applications where optical clarity is a must. Castings will be water-clear, however, PolyColor dyes can be added to obtain clear, colored castings. In addition, Poly-Optic systems can be filled with metal, marble and many other fine powders to achieve myriad effects.
Poly-Optic resins are the plastics of choice for mimicking glass and ice-like features. These products are widely used to create stunning prototypes (lenses, bottles, containers) as well as for unique art, sculpture and display items. The versatility of Poly-Optic 14 Series plastics makes them well-suited for countless commercial, industrial, hobby, craft, prop and special effects applications. Vacuum and/or pressure casting techniques are recommended for these products.
Poly-Optic 1410
 Poly-Optic 1410 is a 3A:2B mix, clear, hard, D~85 polyurethane casting plastic that is great for making clear parts that look like water or glass where optical clarity is important. Vacuum and pressure casting are recommended for the best results to eliminate unwanted air bubbles. Can be color cast with Poly Color dyes. Heated molds are also recommended for improved results.
- Crystal clear - like water
- Can be color cast
- Reproduces finest detail

Poly-Optic 1411 & 1411 ES7
 Poly-Optic 1411 & 1411 ES7 are 1A:1B by volume mix, clear, hard, D~80 polyurethane casting plastics that are great for making clear parts that look like water or glass where optical clarity is important. Vacuum and pressure casting are recommended for the best results to eliminate unwanted air bubbles. Can be color cast with Poly Color dyes. Heated molds are also recommended for improved results. Poly-Optic 1411 ES7 is a very long working time (7 hours!) version of Poly-Optic 1411 and is designed for large pours where increased working time and slow gelling/curing is required to minimize part distortion.
- Crystal clear
- High strength
- Rapid development of physical properties
- Can be heat cured
- Low shrinkage

|
|
Poly-Optic 1420
 Poly-Optic 1420 is a 2A:1B by weight mix, clear, hard, D~85 polyurethane casting plastic that is great for making clear parts that look like water or glass where optical clarity is important. Vacuum and pressure casting are recommended for the best results to eliminate unwanted air bubbles. Can be color cast with Poly Color dyes. Heat curing is required to achieve the high hardness and proper cure for this buffable clear plastic used extensively for prototype parts. To create a brittle, breakable glass-like object, cure 1420 at room temperature.
- High strength, clear plastic
- High hardness - can be buffed
- Excellent for prototyping
- Can be made to cure brittle like glass for special effects

Poly-Optic 14-70
 A clear A~70 polyurethane rubber for creating glass-like parts, yet flexible. Can be colored with Poly Color dyes and can be filled with a variety of dry fillers. Vacuum degassing and pressure casting are recommended for best results to eliminate unwanted air bubbles. 14-70 can shrink when poured in thicker sections or may cup in on corners. Heating molds helps to prevent this. 14-70 can also be mixed with Poly-Optic 1410 to achieve a variety of hardnesses between A~70 and D~85. Will yellow when exposed to UV light. |

Vacuum degassing and pressure casting are recommended for best results to eliminate unwanted air bubbles. 14-70 can shrink when poured in thicker sections or may cup in on corners. Heating molds helps to prevent this. 14-70 can also be mixed with Poly-Optic 1410 to achieve a variety of hardnesses between A~70 and D~85. Will yellow when exposed to UV light.
Poly 14 Part R
A clear A~70 polyurethane rubber for creating glass-like parts, yet flexible. Can be colored with Poly Color dyes and can be filled with a variety of dry fillers. Vacuum degassing and pressure casting are recommended for best results to eliminate unwanted air bubbles. 14-70 can shrink when poured in thicker sections or may cup in on corners.

Poly Dye
Liquid tint ideal for adding uniform color to polyurethane casting resins such as
EasyFlo 60, EasyFlo 120, and any of the Poly 15 Series pourable resins. Available in
black, blue, red, green and yellow. |
|
|
Poly Plasti-Flex Liquid Plastic
Poly Plasti-Flex Liquid Plastic is flexible making it ideal for casting decorative trim
and molding that needs to be mounted on a curved or uneven surface. Plasti-Flex
can also be used to make special effects castings and props and impact resistant
forms, tools, and parts. Plasti-Flex has a wood-like density and can be drilled,
sanded, nailed, and screwed. |
|
|
Metal Powders - Copper, Brass, Bronze
|
|
Metal powder can be added to Forton MG or polyurethane casting resins
to produce a cold cast piece with a metal surface. Various patinas
can then be applied to the metal surface to achieve any desired look. |

Metal Coating B
These coatings adhere to most surfaces, except mirror smooth, by any
technique (air brush, sponge, brush, etc.). patinas must be applied within 3-15 minutes of application, however,
an additional clear coat is not needed. Patinas may be added to metal
coating B either wet or dry. However, B is not self-sealing. A clear
coat should be added to protect the patina. B can also be burnished
back to create a nice shine. Made of ground metal in a water base.
|
|
Metal Coating C
This metal coating is water based like A & B, except it does not contain any resins or
epoxies. It cures so hard that it may be polished with a buffing wheel as if it were a
piece of metal. Available in copper and bronze. |
