SikaBlock DP151 (Formerly DP-1051)
Polyurethane Tooling Board
TYPICAL PRODUCT DATA (FOR FURTHER VALUES SEE SAFETY DATA SHEET)
DESCRIPTION
SikaBlock DP151 is an aluminum powder-
filled, polyurethane- based tooling board for
checking fixtures, molds, tools, and other
applications.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
– Low density
– Very good dimensional stability (low CTE)
– Low dust formation when milled
– High dimensional stability
– Excellent machining characteristics
– Good heat distortion temperature
– Easy to seal and good to varnish
– Good compression strength and edge
stability
AREAS OF APPLICATION
SikaBlock DP151 is suitable for a wide range of
applications including production of fast and
accurate checking and holding fixtures,
vacuum-form tools, low-volume foundry
patterns, temporary models, and headliner
tools.
Tests with actual materials and conditions
have to be performed to ensure satisfactory
performance.

PROCESSING CONDITIONS
Cutting suggestions for tooling planks
cutting horizontally on a planer mill: Head is
a 10 insert, 8 in diameter. For best results
use 5 inserts. Inserts are SFE-42E-10J-C5. We
have found a C2 Carbide insert does not chip
as easily. RPM 2200-2400 table feed 50-55
inches per minute. Some modifications may
be needed.
Saw Blades: A carbide- tipped, positive rake
saw blade with air slots should be used, if
possible. We suggest alternate top bevel ATB
or triple chip grind TCG rpm, depending on the
saw. We suggest 3,500 max rpm. Check with
manufacturer on saw and blade size. 12
blade, 48 teeth 16 blade, 48 teeth 18 blade,
60 teeth.
When sawing, you may need to back
part away from blade to relieve heat and
binding, then proceed with cut. It may be
necessary to take more than one cut to
achieve best finish.
Assembly/Finish: SikaBlock DP151 can be
bonded with the TCC-230 epoxy adhesive.
TCC-5220 is recommended to be used for the
patch paste.
STORAGE CONDITIONS
Store flat in a dry place. Allow time for
material to come to ambient temperature
prior to bonding or machining.

ANCILLARY MATERIALS
BE978 is available with compatible adhesives,
repair pastes, sealers and release agents.
For blocking up, back up or framing structures,
use a matched adhesive. Variations in the coefficients
of thermal expansion (CTE) of boards, adhesives and
back up or framing materials may introduce stress into
composite structures when they are heated or cooled.
Use caution with variations in CTE as this may cause
warping or micro cracking when subjected to heat.

MARKET-LEADING EPOXY TOOLING BOARD
BE978 is a market-leading, medium-temperature, premium epoxy tooling material,
designed to provide reliable, consistent performance. BE978 is known for its
superior surface finish and excellent dimensional stability.
TECHNICAL PROPERTIES
BOARD SIZES
BE978 is available in a range of sizes
(length x width +/- 1mm x depth +/- 0.5mm)
1524mm x 608mm x 50mm
1524mm x 608mm x 75mm
1524mm x 608mm x 100mm
1524mm x 608mm x 125mm
1524mm x 608mm x 150mm
1524mm x 608mm x 200mm
STORAGE OF MATERIAL
The boards must be stored indoors, on a flat dry
surface. Temperature variations must be avoided
during transportation and storage.
ANCILLARY MATERIALS
BE978 is available with compatible adhesives,
repair pastes, sealers and release agents.
For blocking up, back up or framing structures,
use a matched adhesive. Variations in the coefficients
of thermal expansion (CTE) of boards, adhesives and
back up or framing materials may introduce stress into
composite structures when they are heated or cooled.
Use caution with variations in CTE as this may cause
warping or micro cracking when subjected to heat.
Base Materials is an expert in high-performance
syntactic materials for a wide range of industries
including automotive, aerospace, foundry,
manufacturing, marine, motorsport, rail and subsea.
Customers are at the heart of what we do. Our proven
high-quality solutions are engineered to meet your
challenging application requirements.
