Trelleborg Emerson & Cuming, Inc. pioneered the development and introduction of the first syntactic foam thermoforming material in 1981 and through a process of continuous investment and product development are recognised as leaders in the field. Syntac® 351 is a castable syntactic composite material made from epoxy resin and high performance hollow glass microspheres designed specifically for molding thermoforming plugs and other associated tooling. Supplied pre-blended, Syntac® 51 is prepared by a simple process of warming, deairing, casting, curing and post curing - with no weighing or mixing involved. On curing it is a rigid, high strength material that exhibits the same properties as shapes machined from Syntac® 350, the corresponding material supplied in block, sheet and rod form.
