RAMPF Group, Inc. has received E84 class A certification by ASTM International for its sculpting epoxy RAKU TOOL EP-2344/EH-2944, achieving both excellent flame spread and smoke development values. The new system can now be used for almost all indoor and outdoor applications in the theming industry.
“Compared to similar products on the market, RAKU TOOL EP-2344/EH-2944 boasts significantly lower density. The resulting lower weight reduces costs and makes handling easier, especially when producing large sculptures and complete theming structures,” said Alexander Ege, R&D manager at RAMPF Group, Inc.
Mixing and processing of RAKU TOOL EP-2344/EH-2944 is straightforward, as there is no running or sagging.
“While other materials are more runny and sticky, our epoxy system is basically comparable to play dough and therefore very easy to apply,” explained Philip Klick, R&D chemist at RAMPF Group, Inc.
RAMPF’s new sculpting epoxy adheres very well to metal and fibreglass sub-structures and wood. It is easy to sand and paint, and textures can be applied with stamps and moulded surfaces without any difficulty.
“With our new sculpting epoxy we will enable the theming industry’s creative minds to realise ideas that were previously not possible. We look forward to working on some very interesting projects in the near future,” emphasises Marianne Harris, sales manager at RAMPF Group, Inc.
