Advanced Ceramics Research

Description

Aquacore™ is an innovative high-temperature, water-soluble mandrel material that can be used in fugitive, lost core, and trapped tooling procedures. Aquacore™ comes pre-mixed and can be packed, either by hand or hydraulic pressed into the desired geometry. Once dried (recommended drying temperature is 200°F, or 93.3°C), Aquacore™ can be machined into specific shapes and sizes. With a specific gravity of 0.45 wet, it is lightweight, easily machined and thermally stable.

Application

Aquacore™ is compatible with most commercial epoxy and cyanate resin ester systems with cure temperatures below 380°F. It can be quickly washed away from the final composite part with tap water. Aquacore™ is nontoxic and environmentally friendly.
