Xencast® PX60 Medium Flexible Polyurethane Casting Resin is perfect for producing soft grips, handles, tablet protection, gaskets and seals.

About XenCast PX60

Xencast PX60 Polyurethane Resin is available in 1KG, 4KG and 10KG packsizes

Xencast® PX60 is an industry leading flexible polyurethane rubber which cures to a medium 60 Shore A hardness whilst retaining excellent tear strength and resilience. Xencast® PX60 is ideal for product applications requiring a flexible yet durable material including grip handles, tablet protectors, floor mats, soft wheels, props and training weapons. PX60 can also be used to produce durable, flexible moulds for concrete casting.

Utilising the latest polymer technology, Xencast® PX60 is able to create flexible PU rubber parts with superior tear strength, abrasion and wear resistance and chemical tolerance.

PX60's highly translucent formulation means that it accepts pigments very well resulting in strong vibrant colours from reduced pigment concentrations. This translucency also makes it possible to use translucent tinting pigments to produce semi-transparent coloured castings which can even be illuminated.

Typical Uses

• Grips and handles
• Phone/tablet protectors
• Floor mats
• Soft wheels and tyres
• Training weapons and props
• Gaskets and seals
• Concrete casting moulds

In conjunction with a suitable mould, Xencast® PX60 can be used to produce flexible rubber like components such as grips, handles, floor mats, phone and tablet protectors, soft wheels and shock mountings.

Xencast® PX60's abrasion resistance, tear strength and resilience also make it ideally suitable for producing durable moulds for concrete casting.

Advantages

• Medium flexibility, 60 shore flexible polyurethane.
• Excellent abrasion resistance.
• High tear strength.
• Dimensional accuracy and fine detail reproduction.
• Easily pigmented (translucent).
• Low viscosity.
• Easy 1:1 mix ratio.

Key Processing Information

• Ease of Use: Suitable for professional and hobby use (follow SDS advice).
• Odour: PX60 is almost odourless.
• Appearance: PX60 is a translucent light amber colour.
• Safety Precautions: Wear gloves and goggles and work in a well ventilated area. Always read the SDS before use.
• Ambient Conditions: Can be used from 10 to 30°C although pot-life and cure time will be affected significantly. For small or thin-section castings an ambient of 20-25°C is required.
• Degassing: Although not essential, vacuum degassing PX60 will eliminate air bubbles and ensure maximum tear resistance.
• Mix Ratio: Mix 'Part A and 'Part B' 1:1 by weight. Use digital scales.
• Mixing: Mix thoroughly by hand for at around 2-3 minutes.
• Pot-Life: 10 minutes. Be sure to pour your casting(s) before this time.
• Thin Sections: Thin sections will cure more slowly than thick sections. Make sure you allow enough time for thin sections to cure.
• Cure Time/Demould: Larger castings will heat up more and cure quicker than small castings. Typical demould time is 1-2hrs at 25°C however full cure will not be reached for a further 7 days.
• Shelf Life: The shelf life is 6 months from date of manufacture.
• Pigments and Fillers: Pigment using polyurethane colour pigments or translucent tinting pigments.
