Achieve Joint-Free Models and Tools of the Highest Quality

Sika’s tooling pastes are two-component, epoxy-based solutions designed for the creation of large models, mock-ups, master plugs, and composite tools. These systems are applied in layers onto lightweight substructures, such as low-density foam or EPS, and are easily milled via CNC machining to provide models and tools of the highest quality.

Key Features of Sika Tooling Pastes

  • Single-layer application (25 – 40 mm)

  • High dimensional accuracy & stability

  • Low density & exotherm

  • Seamless surface – No bond lines

  • Easy to machine and minimal waste (creates chips, not dust)

  • Machinable in 16-48 hours

  • Reduced time in mold production

Optimize Your Mold Production Process

Compared to tooling boards, Sika’s extrudable tooling pastes provide lighter models with a seamless surface, free of bond lines. They also enable time savings in mold production due to their ability to be applied in a single layer and machined within 16-48 hours after application.
