High-Accuracy, Hand-Mixed Replication Compounds for Professional Metrology
Plastiform Manual Metrology Compounds are the ideal solution for professionals seeking high-precision surface replication without the need for dispensing tools or automated systems. Designed to be mixed and applied by hand, these two-part compounds offer a cost-effective, portable, and highly accurate method for capturing internal geometries, surface finishes, and complex profiles in demanding industrial environments.
Why Choose Plastiform Manual Metrology Compounds?
Capture micron-level surface details and geometry with compounds that flow effortlessly into fine cavities, grooves, threads, and blind holes.Mix and apply by hand—perfect for use in the field, maintenance workshops, quality control labs, or any location where metrology tools may be limited.
From aerospace to automotive, energy, and precision engineering, Plastiform compounds are trusted worldwide for:
Internal bore measurement
Surface roughness assessment
Thread and gear replication
Reverse engineering
Quality inspection & dimensional verification
Product Features
Two-Part Silicone-Based Formulation
Easy to mix, fast curing, and stable under a range of temperatures.
Different Grades for Every Need
Choose from flexible, semi-rigid, or rigid compounds depending on your surface geometry and level of detail required.
Excellent Dimensional Stability
Plastiform replicas retain their shape and dimensions long enough for detailed analysis or transport to a lab.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Compatible
Ideal for replicating delicate or hard-to-access parts without risk of damage.
How It Works
Manually mix the two components until a consistent color is achieved.
Apply directly to the surface or cavity to be replicated.
Allow to cure (typically 4-8 minutes depending on the grade).
Peel off the replica, which can now be measured using vision systems, CMMs, optical scanners, or microscopes.
Ideal For:
Quality inspectors and metrologists
Field engineers and maintenance teams
Research and development professionals
Toolmakers and machinists
