New Product Development – TB720 Epoxy Tooling Block - April 2007

Following fast on the heels of the premium grade epoxy tooling block TB750, launched at the JEC Show 2006, the Advanced Composites Group Limited (Heanor, UK), part of the Composites Division of Umeco plc, announce the introduction of a new product ‘ACG TB720’.

As with TB750, TB720 has been developed in partnership with Huntsman Advanced Materials (Huntsman) as part of an on-going 5-year collaboration and distribution agreement with ACG. TB720 is an easily machined, lower-cost master model material that exhibits a good blend of mechanical and physical properties and is fully compatible with ACG's existing range of ancillary adhesives and sealers. To meet market demands, as ever, TB720 will be available in a range of sizes and on short lead-times from ACG factories in Europe and the USA.
