Axson PX 223/HT - Material ABS para fundición al vacío

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.

Características Básicas

Tipo de Material: Sistema de resina de poliuretano (PU) termoendurecible de dos componentes (2K).
Simulación objetivo: Engineered to mimic high-impact ABS or ABS/PC blends.
Propiedades clave:
  • 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.

Escenarios y campos de aplicación

Uso principal: Functional prototypes and end-use parts requiring high impact resistance and moderate heat resistance.
Industrias y aplicaciones clave:
  • 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.

Adaptabilidad al Proceso de Fundición al Vacío:
