Re-Form
Re-Form
Re-FORM is a thermoplastic resin designed to support or rigidify parts, or to protect them against clamping.
When heated to over 60°C, it becomes transparent and malleable. You can then shape it by hand to create a form that adapts to your needs.
Once cooled, it becomes extremely rigid, allowing it to protect or reinforce a part.
The Re-FORM is extremely hard and durable in its solid state, but it can be manually shaped when it reaches a certain temperature. This makes it a very easy-to-use yet efficient product.
It’s a product that can be very practical during various machining processes. The Re-FORM is a product specifically dedicated to protect, maintain or reinforce parts.
During machining, most fragile or small parts are subjected to vibrations or weakening. A thermoplastic resins such as the Re-FORM easily solve this problem.
When the Re-FORM is applied inside a part or as external reinforcement on a fragile part, it makes it more robust for the machining operations you need to perform.
Last but not least, when Re-FORM is heated again, it’s easy to remove, leaves no trace, and is infinitely reusable.
When heated at a certain temperature (60°C), the Re-FORM becomes soft and malleable.
At this point, you can shape it as needed and apply it to your part.
Once malleable, you can handle the resin by hand, but we recommend that your wear protective gloves.
Here is how to proceed
- Immerse a sufficient amount of Re-Form in a bowl of water heated between 65°C and 80°C.
- Use a stick to stir the Re-Form to ensure it becomes completely malleable.
- Remove it from the water and shape it according to your needs.
- Position the product on your application area and let it cool.
Be careful not to use this product on parts that generate high temperatures, as this could soften the Re-Form and make it malleable again.
Re-Form is reusable. Repack it in its original packaging, even if it has been damaged during machining. You just need to heat it up again to reshape it for your next application.
