Product Description

MCL C10 is a compression-grade melamine mold cleaning material designed for cleaning transfer molding equipment and epoxy molds. While more rigid than the rubber cleaning solutions it is able to go into the deepest corners of the mold removing hidden and hard to approach stains. This product is applied by manually laying an appropriate amount of product on top of the mold and applying heat and pressure (compression). A typical schedule is 2 - 5 minutes @ 150 - 190°C with 10tons clamping pressure for a good result. It is very easy and effective to handle so it requires only ~ 3 shots to clean all stains and residues for most cleaning processes.

MCL-C10 can be supplied in loose powder if you want to pelletize yourself, in granular form and potentially in 5 x 5cm melamine cleaning pellets with a V groove break point to make it easier to break, lay down and apply on the mold. MCL-C10 has almost nonexistent amounts of Formaldehyde (0.02 - 0.07%). This proven formulation cleans very well without being toxic to the people involved in the process.

Specific Gravity
Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume.

For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.

UL 94 Rating
UL 94 Rating
Flammability rating classification.
It determines how fast a material burns or extinguishes once it is ignited.

HB: slow burning on a horizontal specimen; burning rate less than 76 mm/min for thickness less than 3 mm or burning stops before 100 mm
V-2: burning stops within 30 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of flaming particles are allowed.
V-1: burning stops within 30 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of particles allowed as long as they are not inflamed.
V-0: burning stops within 10 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of particles allowed as long as they are not inflamed.
5VB: burning stops within 60 seconds on a vertical specimen; no drips allowed; plaque specimens may develop a hole.
5VA: burning stops within 60 seconds on a vertical specimen; no drips allowed; plaque specimens may not develop a hole

Mechanical Properties
Tensile Strength
Tensile Strength
Tensile Strength
Tensile strength determines the resistance of a material to break under tension and it measures how much elongating load (or tensile stress) it can handle before fracture.

To make it simple, it measures how much force we have to apply when pulling apart a material before it breaks.

Additional Information

Compression mold cleaning for transfer equipment? Is this a typo?
 
Don't be confused with compression grade mixed up with transfer mold. Cleaning process and terminology is slightly different from molding. A compression cleaning compound is literally compressed on top of a transfer mold. It might sound confusing but that's industrial terminology for you.
