CT300 Tooling Board


COMPOTOOL CT300 is a high performance, low density tooling board exhibiting very high temperature resistance and an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). 

CT300 can be used in combination with COMPOTOOL CT850 board for the production of master models or short run direct tooling for the manufacture of composite tooling and components. 

COMPOTOOL tooling boards can be used with resin systems requiring very high processing temperatures such as Cyanate Ester, Benzoxazine, Bismaliamide (BMI) and thermoplastic systems.

CT300 is inert and contains no VOC’s.

Key Features:

  • Very high temperature resistance.
  • Very low thermal expansion.
  • Low density to reduce overall weight.
  • Easily machined. 
  • Can be used to form the core of complex shapes. 
  • Can be used with both high and low temperature curing resin systems.
