Toolfusion® 1A/ 1B is a two part, low viscosity epoxy infusion resin designed to produce prepreg quality, high temperature molds at a fraction of the cost. Standard infusion vacuum bagging is all that is required to produce autoclave quality laminates. Toolfusion® 1A/ 1B requires room temperature master models and patterns further reducing the cost of composite tooling.

• Part A and Part B are sold separately. Volume per container is dependent on weight.
Suggested initial cure:
• Cure the laminate/ tool on the pattern under full vacuum at room temperature until resin has gelled. If the
pattern is temperature capable, place in oven overnight at 140-150°F (60-65°C). Remove from oven and
attach backup structure if required.
• Demold from pattern and proceed with suggested post cure.
Room temperature cure for shop temperatures over 72°F (22°C):
• Cure the laminate/ tool to a pattern under full vacuum for a minimum of 24 hours. Attach proper backup
structure (if required).
• Carefully demold and place tool in cold oven and raise temperature to 100-120°F (38-48°C). Use a
maximum of 3°F (1.5°C)/ minute for all heat up rates.
• Dwell at this temperature for 4 hours then raise to 140-150°F (60-65°C).
• Dwell at this temperature for 4 hours before continuing with suggested post cure.
Room temperature cure for shop temperatures under 72°F (22°C):
• Place pattern with laminate/ tool under full vacuum in an oven, or tent the pattern and use space heaters to
raise the temperature to 80-100°F (27-38°C) and dwell overnight or 10 to 12 hours. Attach proper backup
structure (if required).
• Carefully demold laminate/ tool from pattern and place tool in cold oven and raise temperature to
100-120°F (38-48°C). Use a maximum of 3°F (1.5°C)/ minute for all heat up rates.
• Dwell at this temperature for 4 hours then raise to 140-150°F (60-65°C).
• Dwell at this temperature for 4 hours before continuing with suggested post cure.
• Laminate/ mold achieves a complete room temperature cure in 5-7 days at a minimum temperature of
72°F (22°C).
Free standing post cure instructions (for use after initial cure):
• 2 hours at 200°F (93°C), 2 hours at 250°F (121°C), 2 hours at 300°F (149°C), 2 hours at 350°F (177°C),
2 hours at 375°F (191°C).
Note: Toolfusion 1A may be ordered in natural colour, minimums may apply.
