Porous Resin

Porous resin from one of the leading manufacturers worldwide

High-porosity resin systems for High Pressure Slip Casting

With porous resin moulds, high pressure casting delivers 20 or more products per shift from a single mould where traditional plaster casting allows only one or two. With proper coordination of mould design and slip formulation, CASTIMO moulds achieve over 100,000 casting cycles. All resins ship as 4-5 component systems with long processing times and high pressure resistance.

Open-pore microstructure the basis for uniform water drainage.

The business case

Resin Systems: FINE PORE, MICRO & PRO

Castimo offers four and five component porous resin systems in FINE PORE, MICRO and PRO versions. Each system is selected according to application, mould size and production requirements for optimal performance in high-pressure casting processes.

RESIN FINE PORE

The finest pore structure in the range for delicate surfaces and fine slip formulations where surface quality takes priority over cycle speed. The extended processing time allows complex mould geometries to be cast without defects.

Key Facts

Mean pore diameter
5-10 µm
Porosity
25-30 %
Compressive resistance
44-47 MPa
Flexural strength
approx. 20 MPa
Water permeability
(at 4.0 bar, 20.0 °C)
9-12 I/min
Working pressure
5-30 bar
Shrinkage
approx. 0,2%

RESIN MICRO

Small pore structure of 12–15 microns, designed for fine slip parts the tight structure reduces pore clogging and keeps casting behaviour stable over the mould’s lifetime.

Key Facts

Mean pore diameter
12-15 µm
Porosity
25-30%
Compressive resistance
44-47 MPa
Flexural strength
approx. 20 MPa
Water permeability
(at 4.0 bar, 20.0 °C)
12-15 I/min
Working pressure
5-30 bar
Shrinkage
approx. 0,2%

RESIN PRO

Medium to large pore structure of 16–19 microns for maximum drainage delivering products around 25 % faster than the MICRO version where slip formulation allows it.

Key Facts

Mean pore diameter
16-19 µm
Porosity
25-30%
Compressive resistance
44-47 MPa
Flexural strength
approx. 20 MPa
Water permeability
(at 4.0 bar, 20.0 °C)
16-21 I/min
Working pressure
5-30 bar
Shrinkage
approx. 0,2%
