41 technology's level of replication in terms of tool surface, weld line strength and fow length. Target resins include commodity, engineering and high-performance polymers, including PEEK, PEI and those with high fller content. www.roctool.com CompositesWorld.com New Products » PRECISION TESTING & MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT Lab-scale testing system Instron (Norwood, MA, US) has launched three new-generation HV Series systems, designed to reduce the workload and increase the efciency of HDT and Vicat testing in the lab. The manually operated HV3S, with two (optionally, three) testing stations, is designed for laboratories that perform HDT or Vicat tests at low volume. Where HDT or Vicat testing is done daily, the HV6M features manual weights applica- tion on up to six stations with a motorized lifting mechanism, designed to signifcantly reduce operator efort. Where time is absolutely crucial, the HV6X system ofers motorized lifting station and weights application on all of its up to six testing stations. HV6M and » THERMOET RESIN & ADHESIVE SYSTEMS Sprayable adhesive system Quin Global (Perth, Australia) has launched the TensorGrip TC range of solvent-based polymer adhesive in pressurized canister spray delivery systems, developed specifcally for use with composite materials in marine applications. They include web adhesives, suitable for building plugs from MDF, polystyrene foam and similar materials, and mist spray products for use as reinforcement and preform binders in infusion and resin transfer molding (RTM) processes. The new adhesives also are available with the company's CO-REZ technology, a highly engineered resin-and-gas matrix formulation that requires less gas and, therefore, provides up to 15% more adhesive coverage at 2-3 kg less weight per canister. www.quinglobal.com HV6X feature larger bath size and more automation. All of them use advanced electronics that automatically zero the position of the LVDT measuring sensors before starting a test, reducing test time and human errors. All three systems also use silicone oil as a heat-transfer medium to cover a temperature range of 20-300°C with a resolution of 0.1°C. A continuous oil-monitoring routine reduces the risk of running invalid tests by alerting the operator when the bath level is low or oil degrada- tion could adversely afect test results. www.instron.com High Density Urethane Tooling Board and Core Material (800) 845-0745 • www.precisionboard.com • Closed cell structure • No out-gassing • 15 standard densities • Low-to-no dust machining • Exceeds aviation flammability standards Make it Precision Board Plus New Material!
