Hasco’s new drilled thermal insulating sheets help prevent uncontrolled heat dissipation into the machine clamping plates from heated injection molds and compression molding tools. Through their high thermal compressive strength, they are particularly suitable for use in highly stressed molding tools.
The drilled thermal insulating sheets are provided as standard with pre-drilled holes for guide pillars, clamp plate screws, centering flange and fixing holes. They are available in three different versions, namely Z12010 for overhanging in the lateral direction, Z12012 for overhanging in the longitudinal direction and Z12015 for flush clamping plates.
Sheets are made from a high-grade glass fiber, joined with a high-temperature resin, enabling optimal heat insulation and chemical resistance properties; energy saves of up to 50% can be achieved, according to Hasco. Further, this material combination ensures high heat resistant and dimensional stability. The coefficient of expansion is comparable with that of steel. For use in medical technology and in clean rooms, customers can select a special high-performance coating that seals the surface and protects it from abrasion.
Ready for assembly, this product is said to offer considerable cost savings in installation and dismantling, and saves moldmakers from difficult machining work.
