Axson PX 223/HT - Materiale ABS per colata sottovuoto

Axson PX 223/HT is a high-impact polyurethane resin for vacuum casting, simulating tough ABS or ABS/PC blends. It excels where impact resistance, ductility, and moderate heat tolerance are critical (e.g., snap-fits, enclosures, automotive clips). While less rigid than PX 215, its superior toughness and higher HDT make it ideal for demanding functional prototypes and end-use parts across automotive, consumer goods, and industrial sectors. Limitations include UV sensitivity, silicone mold constraints, and lower stiffness than some engineering plastics.

Caratteristiche di base

Tipo di materiale: Sistema di resina poliuretanica (PU) termoindurente bicomponente (2K).
Simulazione Target: Engineered to mimic high-impact ABS or ABS/PC blends.
Proprietà chiave:
  • Impact Strength: Significantly higher than PX 215 (Notched Izod typically ~50-80 J/m).
  • Flexural Modulus: Lower than PX 215 (less rigid), offering better toughness and ductility.
  • Tensile Strength: Slightly lower than PX 215 (~35-45 MPa).
  • Elongation at Break: Higher than PX 215 (~15-30%).
  • Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): ~65-75°C (149-167°F) at 0.45 MPa / 66 psi; higher than PX 215.
  • Viscosity: Low viscosity mix (A+B), excellent for degassing and flow.
  • Cure Time: Fast demold times (similar to PX 215, ~45-90 minutes).
  • Mix Ratio: Typically 100A : 90B by weight (Always consult the TDS).
  • Shrinkage: Low (~0.15-0.2%).

PROCESSING (Vacuum casting machine)
• Vacuum casting into silicone molds. 
• Both parts have to be processed at a temperature above +18°C. 
• Important : Rehomogenize part B before each weighing. 
• Degas each part before use. 
• Mix for 45 seconds approx. 
• Cast in a mold pre-heated at 40°C minimum. 
• Allow to cure 45 to 75 minutes at 70°C before demoulding 
• Carry out the following thermal treatment : 1 hr at 100°C + 2 hr at 110°C or more if possible. 
NOTA : After demoulding it is not necessary to use a conformter to maintain the part in the oven during the post curing. Nevertheless it is advisable to ensure that the geometry or the mass of the part does not present any deformation risk.

Scenari e campi di applicazione

Uso primario: Functional prototypes and end-use parts requiring high impact resistance and moderate heat resistance.
Settori e applicazioni chiave:
  • Automotive: Interior trim clips, snap-fit housings, connectors, under-hood components (non-critical), fluid reservoir prototypes, handles.
  • Consumer Electronics: Durable housings for power tools, handheld devices, sports equipment, protective cases, buttons, latches.
  • Industrial Equipment: Covers, housings, enclosures, jigs, fixtures requiring impact resistance, levers, handles.
  • Consumer Goods: Toys, sporting goods components, ergonomic grips, housings for appliances.
  • General Product Design: Parts subject to drops, impacts, or flexing; snap-fits; prototypes needing better toughness than standard ABS simulants.

Adattabilità al Processo di Fusione Sottovuoto:

Ottima Adattabilità: Specifically formulated for vacuum casting.
Adattamenti Chiave:
  • Low Viscosity: Ensures easy mixing, thorough degassing, and complete filling of complex molds.

  • Fast Cure: Enables quick demolding and high productivity per silicone mold.
  • Silicone Mold Compatibility: Works well with standard RTV silicone molds.
  • Mold Life: Similar to PX 215 (15-25 high-quality parts per mold). Slightly higher exotherm might marginally reduce mold life compared to lower-impact resins.

Vantaggi:

  • Superior Impact Resistance: Outstanding toughness for a castable PU resin, excellent for snap-fits and parts prone to impact.
  • Good Heat Resistance: Higher HDT than standard ABS-simulating resins (like PX 215).

  • Sensibilità ai raggi UV: Will yellow and degrade under UV exposure without protection.
  • Sensibilità all'umidità: Requires proper storage and handling.
  • Vincolo di durata dello stampo: Limited parts per silicone mold.
  • Non è Plastica di Produzione: Lacks long-term durability/stability of injection-molded thermoplastics.
