Abstract
Tooling packages for mold building structures, mold structures, and methods of making mold structures are described.
Claims20
A tooling package for making a mold comprising:
- a gel coat layer;
- at least two tooling resin impregnated layers or high temperature tooling compound impregnated layers or premium tooling resin impregnated layers, each tooling resin impregnated layer comprising at least one layer of fiberglass impregnated with tooling resin, each high temperature tooling compound impregnated layer comprising fiberglass impregnated with high temperature tooling compound, and each premium tooling resin impregnated layer comprising fiberglass impregnated with premium tooling resin;
- wherein the tooling resin consists essentially of:
- about 35 to about 55 wt % unsaturated polyester resin;
- about 40 to about 50 wt % vinyl ester resin;
- 0 to about 20 wt % monomer;
- 0 to about 3 wt % fumed silica;
- 0 to about 3 wt % additives;
- 0 to about 5 wt % accelerators;
- and
- 0 to about 5 wt % inhibitors;
- wherein the high temperature tooling compound consists essentially of:
- about 5 to about 20 wt % unsaturated polyester resin;
- about 28 to about 38 wt % vinyl ester resin;
- 0 to about 5 wt % thixotrope;
- 0 to about 5 wt % accelerators;
- 0 to about 1 wt % inhibitors;
- 0 to about 8 wt % additives;
- 0 to about 10 wt % first monomer;
- 0 to about 10 wt % pigment;
- about 20 to about 40 wt % calcium silicate and potassium aluminum silicate filler;
- and
- about 5 to about 25 wt % second monomer;
- wherein the premium tooling resin consists essentially of:
- about 40 to about 50 wt % shrink-controlled polyester resin;
- about 1 to about 10 wt % hybrid urethane resin;
- 0 to about 3 wt % additives;
- 0 to about 5 wt % accelerators;
- 0 to about 1 wt % inhibitors;
- 0 to about 5 wt % fumed silica;
- 0 to about 10 wt % monomer;
- and
- about 45 to about 55 wt % calcium carbonate filler.

- wherein the tooling resin consists essentially of:
- about 35 to about 55 wt % unsaturated polyester resin;
- about 40 to about 50 wt % vinyl ester resin;
- 0 to about 20 wt % monomer;

- 0 to about 10 wt % first monomer;
- 0 to about 10 wt % pigment;
- about 20 to about 40 wt % calcium silicate and potassium aluminum silicate filler;
- and
- about 5 to about 25 wt % second monomer;
- wherein the premium tooling resin consists essentially of:
- about 40 to about 50 wt % shrink-controlled polyester resin;
- about 1 to about 10 wt % hybrid urethane resin;
- 0 to about 3 wt % additives;
- 0 to about 5 wt % accelerators;
