In addition to standard and high-temperature tooling boards, DUNA-USA also is showcasing its high-temperature sealers and adhesives. DUNA-USA also says that BLACK CORINTHO HT 800 offers excellent machinability and easier handling than traditional metal tooling, making it a cost-effective alternative for low-volume prototypes and composite layup tools. DUNA-USA also manufactures the CORAFOAM line of polyurethane tooling boards, with densities from 4-31 lb/ft3. Known for its ultrasmooth surface and ability to produce chips instead of dust, CORAFOAM applications include composite layup tooling, vacuum forming, prototyping, and CAD verification tools.
