Last-A-Foam® FR-4500 Tooling Board Series - Tough, grain-free FR-4500 foam tooling boards are ideal for tooling applications or as modeling foam. Rely on consistently uniform material from sheet to sheet and within each block. The high-density foam is easily worked using the simplest woodworking tools or sophisticated CAD/CAM routers and CNC machines. Excellent machining characteristics make it effortless to create precise, intricate designs for styling and design models, master models, masters for composite and layup tools, and for mold and foundry patterns. Their higher heat-deflection temperature rating also makes these products suitable for use in vacuum-forming applications where other urethane products may soften or deform.
Because it allows crisp cutting and excellent edge definition, the FR-4500 HDU foam material serves as an excellent wood alternative in three-dimensional outdoor sign boards and display manufacturing. With their superior cell structure, these tooling boards readily support very fine surface finishes with virtually any coating system. This high-density foam formulation can be securely bonded with a wide variety of adhesive systems to add thickness or build larger pieces.
Last-A-Foam® FR-4500 Tooling Board Series polyurethane foam sheets are always flat, stable and consistent in density. When machined, the anti-static foam board material breaks into shavings that fall safely to the floor. Less dust creates less mess and risk. Densities extend to 50 lbs. per cubic foot, so you can match the right foam board to your job requirements while controlling costs.
The last two digits of FR-4500 product numbers describe foam density in pounds per cubic foot.

Lava - Alumina Silicate L911A
Machinable Alumina Silicate L911A (Lava)
- Aluminum silicate is machinable in an unfired state and used in applications up to 1000 F
- After firing, parts are as hard as carbide & usable up to 2100 F
- Aluminum silicate has low thermal expansion
Aluminum silicate is low cost
- Aluminum silicate is available in wide range of stock up to 12" in diameter.
Grade "A" Lava is a natural ceramic material. In chemical terms it is a hydrous alumina silicate. We supply this material in standard rods, blocks, and plates as well as special shapes.
Machining
Unfired Grade "A" Lava is a free machining material that can be shaped using most machine tools. The material is non-toxic but as with any airborn dust it could a be respiratory irritant if directly inhaled. Common sense and dust collection systems are recommended.
Firing:
The following procedure should be followed carefully to avoid cracking:
Machined parts should be placed in a cool furnace and protected from direct heat radiation. The use of refractory furniture, boxes,or baffles is recommended. A heating rate of 200 - 250º F per hour is typical. The rate of heating should not exceed 300º F per hour. Parts with cross sections exceeding 1/2" are more critical and cracking may occur during the firing cycle. If a cross section of 1/2" or greater is unavoidable, a heating rate of approximately 50º - 150º F per hour and strategically placed stress relief holes may help minimize cracking.
The maturing temperature of Grade "A" Lava is between 1850º and 2000º F. The temperature should be maintained for approximately 30 minutes up to 1/4" cross section and 45 minutes for 1/2" and greater cross sections. Fired pieces may be removed from the furnace after cooling below 200º F.
During the firing process, Grade "A" Lava expands approximately 2%. A temperature of 2000º F should not be exceeded. If 2000º F is exceeded, crystallization, distortion, shrinkage and a loss of stated material properties will occur.
As with most natural materials, texture, color, hardness, machinability, final expansion, and ideal firing temperatures may vary.

Magnet Wire / winding wire is an insulated copper (or aluminum) electrical conductor used in motors, transformers and other electromagnetic equipment. When wound into a coil and energized, magnet wire creates an electromagnetic field.
- Types of Magnet Wire
- PIW (Polyimide) - Thermal Class: 220oC - Best of all enameled wires in overload resistance.
Applications are hermetic & sealed units, high temperature continuous duty coils & relays. PIW is enameled with a polyimide resin having the highest heat resistance of the organic polymers
made by reaction of aromatic tetracarboxylicacid dianhydride and aromatic diamine. PIW is very
reliable in performance because it has excellent cut-through characteristic, over-load
characteristic, and heat shock resistance.

Applications are general purpose motors, portable generators, dry-type transformers,
electromagnetic solenoid coils, & motors for home use. Enameled with a polyester resin of the terephthalic acid group, PEWN is used as a general purpose magnet wire for many applications.
- HPEWN (Polyester Nylon) - Thermal Class: 180oC
Applications are general purpose motors, portable generators, dry-type transformers, & electronics
where solderability is not desired. HPEWN is a film insulation with a modified polyester basecoat and a nylon topcoat. It has become the standard of non-hermetic, fractional horse-power motors.

- Note: Meldin 2001 has been replaced by Meldin 6001
Principal Features of Meldin® 2000
Excellent Tensile Strength and Elongation
Meldin® 2000 materials exhibit superior tensile strength and elongation properties, even at elevated temperatures, providing the mechanical integrity necessary for the most demanding applications.
High Compressive Strength
With an ultimate compressive strength of over 40,000 psi and a usable limit of 34,000 psi at 10% strain, Meldin® 2001 provides the highest resistance to compressive failure of any of the Meldin 2000 compositions. The additional formulations, however, also offer excellent compressive properties.
High Modulus
Meldin® 2000 materials have inherently high moduli and yield points in tension, compression, and flex. These combined features provide non-brittle materials for use in applications where extreme rigidity is essential.
Superior Creep Resistance
These materials all display minimal deformation under load. Meldin® 2030 provides additional ductility and conformability without sacrificing load carrying capacity when a sealing surface is required. These characteristics allow for dry-running bearing operation at high PVs and high-static loading without concern for deflection.
Superb Dimensional Stability
Meldin® 2000 products have no observable melting point. This feature, combined with an extremely low thermal expansion, high resistance to deformation under load, and low hysteresis, provides excellent dimensional stability. Even under the most severe conditions of harsh chemicals and temperature extremes, Meldin® 2000 retains its dimensional quality and functionality.
Balanced Electrical Properties
Both Meldin® 2001 and Meldin® 2030 have high dielectric strength, a stable dielectric constant, and very high volume and surface resistivity. Meldin® 2001, with its balance of physical and electrical properties, is ideal for stationary electrical insulating applications. Bearings made of Meldin® 2030 provide dry self-lubrication in addition to electrical insulation.
Low Outgassing
In independent testing to ASTM R595, Meldin® 2000 exhibited remarkably low outgassing. Other than absorbed water, Meldin® 2000 materials showed negligible mass loss and collectible condensables. This feature allows for trouble-free, clean operation in ultra-high vacuum environments.
Low Friction, High Resistance to Wear
Meldin® 2021, Meldin® 2211, and Meldin® 2030 bearing grades are all capable of carrying high loads at temperature extremes. Specially designed for optimum friction and wear properties, these Meldin® products provide smooth interaction and zero abrasion when operating against both ferrous and non-ferrous mating surfaces.
