TI International Ltd.

TI casting compounds have been developed over a period of 23 years and our capabilities as formulators of mandrel compounds span a period of almost 40 years. We feel that TI Compounds have advanced the “State of the Art” by eliminating all the disadvantages commonly associated with mandrel compounds currently in use. TI Compounds are the perfect answer for low cost per pound, high strength, total reproducibility, wash-away rigid mandrels used for composite lay-up.

This is done in all one process and the advantages to this process over current insulated ducts are as follows:
