High-Performance Epoxy Tooling Materials for Pioneering Composites – RAMPF at MECAM Expo in Dubai

RAMPF Advanced Polymers is presenting epoxy tooling boards, infusion and RTM systems, and Close Contour Pastes for the fast, cost-efficient manufacture of high-performance composites in the construction, automotive, and aerospace industries at MECAM Expo in Dubai, September 17 to 19, at the booth of Al Khowahir Chemicals – M110.

Key Takeaways

1. RAMPF’s epoxy tooling boards RAKU^® TOOL WB-0700 and WB-0890 for prepreg lay-up tools and thermoforming applications ensure precision, reliability, and process efficiency across every stage of composite manufacturing.
2. RAMPF’s epoxy infusion and RTM systems are engineered for the cost-efficient production of large, complex composite parts in industries such as construction, automotive, and aerospace.
3. RAKU^® TOOL Close Contour Pastes enable the cost-effective, sustainable production of large-scale models by application to near-net-shape substructures using manual or CNC-controlled mixing and dispensing equipment.

Lightweight, durable, versatile – composite materials are a cornerstone of modern manufacturing. From construction to automotive and aerospace, manufacturers must develop complex parts with maximum precision, minimal lead times, and sustainable production methods.

To meet these demands, advanced model and mold engineering solutions are essential, blending technical excellence with economic efficiency.

At MECAM Expo 2025, RAMPF Advanced Polymers will showcase its innovative RAKU^® TOOL portfolio, featuring tooling boards, infusion and RTM systems, and Close Contour Pastes – engineered to address these precise needs.
