Polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD) carbon steel

Polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD) carbon steelThis thermosetting plastic is based on dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) and created via a catalytic reaction. The plastic is formed in a reaction injection moulding process (RIM) where two components are mixed as they are injected into the mould. The mixture reacts and hardens to form rigid PDCPD within just a few minutes. The mixture has a very low initial viscosity so its possible to mould very large objects with fine geometries, variable wall thicknesses,

You get five different samples showing different effects as seen on the picture

Use intumescent materials in machine construction to isolate a fire inside the machine

The gap is measured and individual layers of the shim can be removed until it fits the gap precisely

the maximum moulding temperature is limited to 235°C

and theatre props

The wax adheres on most surfaces when melted or dissolved

Good impact resistance - Makes is suitable for consumer products

curved structures with high design flexibility

The graphite can expand to a volume of 250 cm³/g and reaches full expansion at a temperature of close to 1000°C

You get a couple of grams of expandable graphite

and dimensional stability

This flake pigment exhibits a variety of iridescent rainbow colors that vary by the angle at which it is viewed in relation to the angle of incident light
