Silicone seal RD series

resinvacuumconstruction

A comprehensive range of mould seals and ‘formers’ used in the mould-making process. All standard seals have a maximum service temperature of 200°C. This allows the majority of moulds to be built with a standard seal groove but still enables some flexibility in seal specification and performance. The D section resin seal is available in three versions with varying levels of compressibility. D Section – Blue (RD-20-0013) • Standard D section mould seal for use as a resin seal in the majority of 'Light' RTM and RTM tooling • The mould seal is used during the mould construction to generate the correct seal groove D Section - Green (RD-20-0011) • A harder and more resilient version of the D section mould seal • For use as a resin seal in high-pressure RTM applications D Section – White Inflatable (RD-20-0010) • D section mould seal for use as a resin seal in 'Light' RTM or RTM tooling • Used to reduce seal drag when closing the mould where flanges are too steep for conventional seals • The mould seal is inflated or collapsed under vacuum using a mould seal control unit (XE-0400) Lip Section - Blue (RD-20-0012) • Lip section mould seal for use as an outer vacuum seal in ‘Light' RTM moulds Small Lip Section - Blue (RD-20-0014) • Smaller version of the standard Lip section mould seal, being approximately half the size of RD-20-0012 • Can be used for vacuum applications where small bend radii is required • Also used to retain mould-insert blocks under vacuum
