Great success-Rapid Silicone vacuum bag production
and casting demonstration day.
Many enthusiastic comments and interest resulted from attendees at MVP's
UK demonstration day which provided practical demonstrations of
rapid silicon bag production with the new MVP Siloject 121 using
Silopren* RTV 2025 VBS Blue from Momentive Performance Materials.
All variants on the use of this outstanding Silopren* material where
shown. From casting silicone tooling blocks, used for complex closed
mould inserts, to injection of a complete helmet pressure bag in seconds
left attendees in no doubt that MVP's Siloject 121 model provided an
ideal method to manufacture perfect castings, pressure injections and
sprayed Momentive's Silopren* fast cure silicone material.
In
seconds the machine dispenser nozzle was changed from an injection to a
spray tip and a boat hatch cover bag was manufactured by spray technique
in less than 15 minutes. All the silicone products produced during the
demonstrations where demoulded within 30 minutes. One produced silicone
vacuum bag was used to vacuum mould a helmet in both polyester and, in a
heated mould, in epoxy.
The inclusion of nylon mesh reinforcement and inserts for vacuum and
resin infusion was shown. Short presentations followed the 2 and a half
hour practical time providing attendees with complete details of
equipment and material specifications and availability.

a resume of the presentations to any who missed the event to contact
