Hello tapan:
At 350 degrees you may need to use a silicone bladder. Smooth on has a spray on silicone material that you can use. You will need to make a mandrel to which you can spray on the bladder material and then remove it from the bladder.

Hello everyone
I have a quick question we are upgrading a oven for composite curing and we are setting up 8 vacuum sources. The plan is to use steel pipe (straight pipe, T’s and elbows) to make a manifold that will be inside the oven during cure. Do you guys see any issue with having the...
Hello:
If you press enough to squeez out all the resin then your final thickness would be the fiberthicknes only, being that it’s a fabric it would have to be the max thickness where the fill and the warp intersect. Off course this is assuming the fabric is fully compress and cured. I would...
Thanks for the response, my interest for the calculation is to be able to make a tool that is self contained meaning no need for a press to contain the pressure exceted by the expanding silicone. I have made tools with silicone matching the IML of the part but I would like to try and estimate...
Hello forum first time posting in a long while.
I am trying to calculate pressure created by trapped silicone rubber in an enclosed cavity. To simply the condition imagine a silicone cylinder 1” in dia x 1” tall enclosed in a sealed steel tool, ultimately I would like to know pressure in psi...
