Hei-Cast 8570 Vacuum Casting Material
When functional prototypes face extreme thermal environments, Hei-Cast 8570 is the ultimate solution in the polyurethane casting family. Engineered to simulate the performance of Heat-Stabilized ABS, Polypropylene, or even PPS, this high-performance resin offers an exceptional Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) of approximately 120°C. At JUCHENG, we utilize Hei-Cast 8570 for the most demanding thermal validation projects. Whether testing airflow in an automotive engine bay or verifying lighting components near high-output LEDs, this material ensures your prototype retains its dimensions and stiffness where other resins would fail.
Hei-Cast 8570
Grundlegende Eigenschaften & Zusammensetzung
Hei-Cast 8570 is a premium three-component system (Polyol, Isocyanate, Catalyst) designed for maximum thermal stability.
- Extreme Hitzebeständigkeit: Withstanding temperatures up to 120°C, it rivals the thermal performance of many injection-molded engineering thermoplastics.
- High Rigidity: It exhibits a high flexural modulus, ensuring parts do not sag or warp under thermal load.
- Maßhaltigkeit: Features very low shrinkage and excellent creep resistance, making it suitable for precision mechanical parts.
- Chemikalienbeständigkeit: Offers improved resistance to automotive fluids (oils, coolants) compared to standard resins.
Color Options
- Standard: Pale Brown / Beige (Natural).
- Endbearbeitung: Due to its natural dark beige color, it is not suitable for transparent or bright white parts without painting. However, its hard surface is an excellent base for high-temp paints and primers applied by JUCHENG's finishing team.
Wichtige technische Parameter
1.Mechanical Properties (Typical values):
| Eigenschaft | Wert | Einheit | Standard |
| Hardness | 84 - 86 | Shore D | JIS K 7215 |
| Biegemodul | 2,400 - 2,600 | MPa | JIS K 7171 |
| Zugfestigkeit | 70 - 75 | MPa | JIS K 7113 |
| Bruchdehnung | 5 - 8 | % | JIS K 7113 |
| Heat Deflection Temp (HDT) | 115 - 120 | °C | JIS K 7191 |
| Schlagzähigkeit (Izod) | 3 - 5 | kJ/m² | JIS K 7110 |
| Linear Shrinkage | 0.3 - 0.4 | % | - |
2. PROCESSING
- Vakuumguss: Must be processed in a high-vacuum chamber. The high viscosity requires careful mold gating design to ensure complete filling.
- Pot Life: Short (approx. 5-7 minutes). Requires rapid mixing and pouring.
- Demolding: 60-90 minutes at 70°C.
- Post-Curing: Critical. A stepped high-temperature post-cure cycle (e.g., ramping up to 120°C) is mandatory. Without this, the material will not achieve its heat resistance properties.
3. PRECAUTIONS:
- Brittleness: High heat resistance often correlates with lower impact strength. Avoid thin snap-fits or sharp internal corners.
- Mold Life: High-temp resins can be aggressive to silicone molds, potentially reducing mold life to 12-15 parts.
4. STORAGE:
- Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place. The catalyst component requires specific handling.
Application Scenarios & Fields
Hei-Cast 8570 is the standard for "Hot Zone" validation:
- Automobil: Intake manifolds, cylinder head covers, turbocharger ducting prototypes, radiator components.
- Lighting: Reflectors and bezels for high-intensity discharge (HID) or LED lamps.
- Industrie: Housings for pumps handling hot liquids, industrial heater vents.
- Elektronik: Power supply chassis, heat sink mounts, projector internal frames.
Vacuum Casting Process Compatibility
- Silicone Tooling: Compatible with heat-resistant silicone grades.
- Machining: Cured parts are very hard and machine like metal or bone. Excellent for drilling precision holes post-casting.
- Inserts: Ideal for heat-staking inserts, as the material will not soften easily under the heat of the installation tip.
Advantages vs. Limitations
| Advantages | Limitations |
| Top-Tier Heat Resistance: HDT ~120°C. | Low Impact: Brittle under sudden shock loads. |
| High Stiffness: Excellent structural integrity. | Color: Natural color is dark; limited aesthetic options without painting. |
| Creep Resistance: Holds tolerances under load. | Cost: Premium material with complex processing (post-cure). |
| Engineering Feel: Simulates high-end plastics. | Mold Wear: Reduces silicone mold lifespan. |
