Volatile Free Inc. is a manufacturer of high-performance thermoset polymers. We’ve been providing our products to a vast number of markets for almost 30 years.
If you’re using mold release on your urethane molds before casting concrete and you’re still unable to demold properly, there are several reasons this could be happening. Check out VFI’s tech piece to troubleshoot these issues or call (800) 307-9218.

While we highlight our hard coats at IAAPA, we also wanted to share some other materials & applications. VFI offers a flexible polyurea coating that protects joints, cut points, & other ride padding areas that are prone to tearing. Visit https://t.co/CYUeNhldaz to learn more.
If you’re casting large, solid parts, you might want to look into an alternative method called rotocasting. This process uses less material & makes your parts lightweight, saving you on various costs. Want to learn more? Check out our website page here: https://t.co/bm4QnA55Uk
Need a durable coating that withstands daily wear & physical abuse? Not just any hard coat will do. VFI’s new impact-resistant hard coat is up for the job, AND it’s fire-tested for making indoor & outdoor fabrications. Check it out at booth S2058 at IAAPA or visit our website.
Polyurea & hybrid coatings have an abundance of uses, with one unique application being speaker boxes. They protect wooden speakers long-term from wear & tear that occurs from daily use or transportation. Learn more on our website or call (800) 307-9218.

VFI manufactures a variety of part-making products that are compatible with 3D printing materials, and we wanted to demonstrate that by making some Halloween-themed foam props. Check out the pics below and our blog if you’d like to learn more: https://t.co/YBK7cmC23B
If you’re trying to create a custom mold for casting concrete, a great alternative to rubber is a form hard coat. Hard coats protect carved foam and allow you to cast and demold concrete from the surface easily. Contact (800) 307-9218 or visit the website for more info.
Hard coats are designed to be applied to a surface for protection; they are not capable of standing on their own. Environmental factors can weaken them and cause failure without support. Want to learn more? Check out our tech piece: https://t.co/xRFIBOaDuR
Don’t miss VFI at @IAAPAHQ this year! We’re bringing our premier theming contest back bigger & better with 5 companies competing! Plus, we have some new hard coat products to talk about. We hope to see you November 17! Call (800) 307-9218 if you're interested in a free pass.
Cold & freezing temps can be bad news for water-based or sensitive polymer materials. In order to prepare for the cold weather, consider stocking up on products now and storing/working with your materials in a controlled environment. Reach out to VFI at (800) 307-9218 for more.
In addition to VFI’s industrial coatings, we also manufacture joint fillers & a concrete repair to protect concrete floors. They work with dual-cartridge guns or low-pressure machine pumps, offering quick curing for fast return to service. Check them out: https://t.co/2cw5sm8HQG
