Pressure Chamber

EMS Catalog #50465-10

Introduction 

This chamber is designed in conjunction with our cold molded acrylic and epoxy media. After encapsulating the sample, they are placed inside the chamber. By applying between 30 to 40 PSI during the cure time, the mounting compound is compressed down and around the sample, forcing air up to the surface. This process helps eliminate shrinkage and increase clarity and edge retention. As an option an air pump tank is available. This Air Pump is designed for hand pumping pressure.
