TPX Mandrel is low cost and has excellent heat resistance and mold release characteristics.
This product is mandrel which is made of TPX (polymethylpentene, PMP）.
TPX is a resin with excellent transparency, heat resistance and chemical resistance. It has excellent stain resistance and mold release characteristics, because its surface tension is 24 dyne/cm.
In addition, it has excellent heat aging resistance, steam (boiling water)
resistance. Because of the above advantages, it can reduce the production
cost and the vulcanization process of rubber hose. Also, the dimensional
accuracy is good because of its low water absorption rate. In recent years,
it is used as a mandrel of carbon products such as C-FRP. In addition,it
is possible to reduce the occurrence of voids by our special production
equipment.

Features
- It can be used at high-temperature because its Vicat softening point is high. Melting point (220-240℃)
- It has excellent mold release characteristics, because its surface tension is 24 dyne/cm.
- It is suitable for vulcanization of rubber hoses because it has excellent steam resistance.
- It has excellent chemical resistance because it does not have a polar group in the molecular structure.
- It is cost-effective because it is reusable.
- It is excellent in productivity because of its release mold characteristic. In addition, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of voids by our special production equipment.
