POLYURETHANE TOOLING BOARD
We create polyurethane boards in a range of sizes and densities used in
model construction, tool making and mould production
Ru-bix offers a range of polyurethane styling, modelling and tooling boards, suitable for demanding applications in the engineering sector. We supply the automotive, aerospace, marine, rail, foundry, signage and other industries where prototyping and modelling
work is required. Our standard range of products consist of polyurethane boards with densities ranging from 30kg/cub.m to 1220kg/cub.m. Available in standard sizes of 1500mm x 500mm x (30, 50, 75, 100, 150 and 200mm thickness), it is possible to meet the specific demands of most model or mould-making projects.
Dimensional stability
Boards maintain dimensions when subjected to changes in temperature
and humidity.
Mechanical strength
An optimised combination of low density and high mechanical properties, particularly compressive and flexural strength.
Superior surface finish
Inherent fine cell structure and low friability that facilitates bonding
without pre-treatment.
Not all boards are created equal
At Ru-bix we pride ourselves on providing customers with a bespoke service quite unlike any
other.
​
Our bespoke polyurethane tooling boards can be provided at very competitive prices, ensuring
that customers benefit fully in terms of working efficiency, with reduced costs and marginal
levels of waste.
Low density
For styling applications
Versatile and lightweight, our styling boards are semi-finished products which can be bonded into various shapes and sizes.
​
The styling and design portfolio are natural coloured which are favoured in the market.
Very light weight with fine cell structure for master models and patterns
Higher density
Modelling boards & tooling boards
Higher density modelling and tooling boards are easy to machine, hard wearing and long lasting.
Modelling boards are often used for vacuum forming, model making and prototyping.
​
The highest density tooling boards are used where manufacturing stresses are high, or where exact dimensional tolerances, sharp-corner retention and excellent surface finish are important.
