2k Flex Additive

[Karriem Drewery]

HPFlex is a Universal Urethane. Flex Additive is designed to increase flexibility, impact resistance and chip resistance. HPFlex mixes easily and does not affect dry or cure times. Mix 1-2 ounces per every 32 ounces of paint.

Universal Urethane Flex Additive is not recommended for use with non-urethane products. When using All Tamco urethane products, remember you have a inherited built in "flex additive" in the products. They are inherently more flexible than the average products on the market due to the resins we choose to Use. In most cases, flex isn't required with the use of Tamco.

Prior to this, most all of the paint work I've done is on antique vehicles. This is only my third time to use base/clear. Though I use urethane primers now, all of my top coats are acrylic enamel, so I'm sort of venturing into a new world.

I'm repainting the back end of a '98 Ford Taurus. My question is what to do about the plastic bumper cover. I had to smooth it out and replace the deck lid, but the quarters are fine. I'm using DuPont and put the flexible additive in the sealer, as specified, for the bumper cover. DuPont does not use flexible additive in the base, so I sprayed the deck lid and the bumper to get good coverage and put everything together and resprayed the whole back end and blended into the quarters. I'm very happy with the results and have the whole thing sitting down there now in base and went to move onto the clear and said, "nuts".

I know I need flexible additive in the clear for the bumper covers sake, but I want to spray the whole back end in one swoop. Is it alright to use the clear with the flex additive over the steel parts or do I need to mask off and spray the bumper separately?

but you could of two gunned it and had flex in one gun to do just the bumper and the spraying would of been done all at the same time. spraying the deck lid and 1/4's and then spraying the bumper. clear mixed up and poured into two guns and then add your flex to one gun, thats just a way though.

DON'T EVER USE FLEX ADDITIVES!!!!! I have been painting for 10 years now and I currently do alot of collision repair work and custom work and I never use this. All paints flex. If you look at a vehicle that has been hit, you will notice that the paint will move with the damage a certain amount. I paint new and old bumpers off of cars everyday then put them on the car and ship them and I have never had a problem with the paint cracking of peeling.

P.S. Urothane bumpers are made in molds and use a mold release to ease in their removal. I have had a few bumper that I had to bake once or twice to get all of the mold release agent out of and off the bumper! this really help the adhesion process when it came time to refinish..

Vehicle parts made of deformable plastics require special flexible paints. The use of Flex Additive will improve the flexibility and chip resistance so that the paint system can tolerate normal bending and impacts of the plastic part without cracking or chipping.

Matthews Flex Additive 47474SP/04 is designed to be used in conventional Matthews Acrylic Polyurethane topcoats. 47474SP/04 can also be used in SVOC topcoats as well as VOC and SVOC clears if VOC is not a concern. Due to the flexible nature of MAP-LV topcoats and clears, flex additive is not necessary. 47474SP/04 provides flexibility to the coating which will allow pliable substrates to withstand flexing and impact during fabrication or service.

Super SEM Flex is a paint additive that adds flexibility to urethanes, enamels and lacquers. Perfect for refinishing flexible substrates such as bumpers, vinyl convertible tops and flexible plastics.

For light flexibilization use propylene glycol. For big flexibization better to use active flexibilizer ,epoxy function linked to pp glycol. Then with epoxy elastane hybride you can go very far in flexibility.

Max 6% (of resin). PPg increase elongation to break and tenacity, but reduce stiffness modulus, strengh modulus and Tg, can reduce durability too so be carrefull with those cheap plastizer. If you want something more serious look to specific active products.

5092 Flex Additive works because it is a softer (lower Tg value) acrylic resin compared to the Createx paint is added to, thereby lowering the overall softness (Tg value) of the paint which improves flexibility of the paint, allowing it to better conform to the flex and movement of the underlying substrate while maintaining adequate adhesion.

Thoroughly stir 5092 flex Additive with colors for at least a minute in a mixing cup to ensure a homogeneous mix. Do not add 5092 flex Additive to colors by pouring into the airbrush cup and shaking.

Configurable with one (500S) or four (500Q) high-power 500W lasers, and automatic or flexible (Flex) powder and waste handling, utilise the same industry-leading gas flow system, safety and precision digital optics from material proof of concept all the way to volume production.

The RenAM 500 series features a high-volume cascading gas system which provides uniform processing conditions as well as superior removal of process emissions from the laser path. The gas circuit includes an intercooler which provides active thermal control, even with 2kW of laser power available. Precise thermal management further contributes to the stable atmosphere and consistent build environment that leads to better and more consistent metallurgy.

The RenAM 500 optical system features dynamic focusing, enabling all lasers to precisely address the entire bed simultaneously. This flexibility ensures build times are minimised by enabling the laser energy to be optimised over the entire powder bed.

The system uses a monolithic water-cooled additively manufactured galvanometer mounting, designed and manufactured in-house by Renishaw. Unlike separate mountings found on other multi-laser AM systems, the RenAM 500 series design features tight alignment of the optics and internal conformal cooling channels. This is a key enabler for precision laser control.

The kinematic recoater mounting ensures rapid and repeatable positioning of the powder spreading recoater blade. Together, these features help maintain a precise relationship between the optical system and the working plane, which is vital for accurate part manufacture. The flexible recoater blade is forgiving for both solid and lattice geometry manufacture.

Embedded in the in-house designed optical system are LaserVIEW and MeltVIEW hardware which provide high bandwidth monitoring of both the output laser intensity and optical emissions from the AM process across the near-infrared spectrum. CameraVIEW provides layer-by-layer images for powder dose monitoring.

This rich process monitoring data can be visualised, compared and further data processed in near real-time through Renishaw's InfiniAM software suite. The voxel-based visualisation toolset enables high resolution analysis of each component weld as well as powder dose. As part of Renishaw's open ethos, the software architecture supports user plugins, enabling custom algorithmic manipulation of the data to suit research and production environments.

Renishaw Central, our manufacturing data platform, provides real-time connection to monitor, record and analyse RenAM 500 series sensor data, as well as Renishaw's portfolio of industrial metrology products. Through the web interface, or mobile app, you can monitor in-progress atmosphere, powder and temperature data from the machine, or drive insight through historic build analysis.

In support of your preferred digital workflow, Renishaw's AM build preparation software QuantAM is available as a Post Processor in a wide range of industry leading CAD/CAM packages, by direct consumption of the API, or as a standalone application. The standalone application offers a stage-based workflow to easily guide users from parametric or triangulation CAD, through orientation, support generation, build layout and slicing. All print settings are open and editable by default, with design-of-experiment tools ideal for custom material optimisation.
