Technical Datasheet
F1 Model Block
In General
The F1 Model Block is a polyurethane based block material which can be easily processed by hand and machine. The product
contains no halogen's, plasticisers, formaldehyde or solvents. No chlorofluorocarbon is used during manufacture of the product and it is
proven biologically friendly.
Advantages:
Very fine surface structure
Easy to machine and work by hand, contains no abrasive fillers
Dimensional tolerance of 1-2 % is possible.
Processing instructions
Hand finishing, sealing and painting instructions can be found on the F1 Model Block Paint Guidance Instructions Sheet.
Storing
The F1 Model Block has an unlimited shelf life when stored in flat dry conditions.
Safety measures
The F1 Model Block material does not produce hazardous dusts when machining or hand finishing, however minimising the formation of
dust and the use of personal protective equipment is advised. Users should refer to the current Safety Data Sheet for additional information.
According to regulations for hazardous products the F1 Model Blocks do not require special marking for transport or storage.
Waste Disposal
Small quantities can be disposed of as domestic waste, it is advisable to consult your organisations waste disposal directives and any
applicable local authority guidelines. Further questions please do not hesitate to contact our Technical Department.
