Industry benchmark – RAKU® TOOL IE-3092
RAKU® TOOL IE-3092 is a versatile polyurethane system for fast, in-house production of custom climbing holds, eliminating the need for outsourcing. It can be processed manually or with automated meter-mix equipment, features an antimicrobial additive, and offers a simple 1:1 mix ratio by volume for easy pouring into silicone molds. The resin cures at room temperature and can be degassed and pressure-cured for optimal results.
Key features of RAKU® TOOL IE-3092:
• Excellent abrasion and impact resistance
• Fine surface structure and high molding accuracy
• Antimicrobial properties to combat bacteria
• Multiple work times with a quick cure schedule
Available in various industry-standard colors, RAKU® TOOL IE-3092 can be pigmented easily and ordered in quantities ranging from quart kits to 275-gallon totes, catering to both home-wall users and high-output manufacturers. Additionally, RAMPF offers a wide range of vibrant pigments, mold releases, and silicone rubber for molding.
Precision and versatility – RAKU® TOOL Silicones
RAMPF’s silicones cater to diverse mold-making needs with precision and versatility. Available in tin- and platinum-based cures, they offer a wide range of Shore values for specific applications, including translucent options for better visibility during mold filling.
To add longevity and value to silicone tooling, RAMPF offers an extensive selection of Stoner Mold Release agents. Sealing the mold and maintaining a conditioned surface increases part output per mold and extends the lifespan of the silicone tooling.
