EMP60 Epoxy Moulding Paste

Yes, certainly chemical release agents such as our Easy-Lease Chemical Release Agent are ideal for use with Epoxy based moulds and will give a very good, reliable release.

The kit will in theory cover an area upto 1.4 square meters. However, we do not recommend the putty is used for a single mould of that size as the mould would end up being very heavy and liable to be damaged if dropped.

For moulds over around 0.5 sqm we would recommend one of our Uni-Mould Complete Mould Making Starter Kits as they are easier to work with on larger moulds producing a lighter and easier to handle mould as well as working out better value for large moulds.

The gel coat designed to match with the EMP60 Epoxy Moulding paste is our EG60 Epoxy Tooling Gelcoat.

Moulds produced using our mould making paste are perfectly suited to using with resin infusion. All you need to do is ensure that when you make the mould, your flanges are big enough to give you room to lay up the bagging stack and have somewhere for the resin feed and vacuum outlet to be positioned.

For larger moulds (over 0.25sqm) we would recommend using our Uni-Mould Mould Making System is a more practical mould making system.

The Epoxy Mould Making Putty is not really suitable for use at higher temperatures or for out-of-autoclave prepreg use although for very modest cure temperatures (up to about 75°C) some customers do use this system for OOA prepreg cures.

The system's low HDT of 80°C is the limiting factor. Also the potential presence of any air voids between the gelcoat and the putty can show up as surface blisters on the gelcoat when this system is run up to high temperature.
