Information

Kit consists of 10kg of PART A and 10kg of PART B

Total kit volume 18.5 Litres


PART A and PART B are both clear liquids which are odourless and non-toxic. The two components mix easily with a simple 1:1 ratio and because of the low viscosity can be used without a vacuum chamber. They react to form a translucent beige/off white coloured flexible, elastic material with high tensional and tear strength.

There is practically no shrinkage (0.1%) and excellent reproduction of fine detail. Being an addition/platinum cured rubber its chemical and heat resistance (250°C) properties are superior to tin/condensation cure rubbers translating into a longer mould life.

The pot life is approximately 8-12 minutes and the cure time is 1-2 hours for the medium and soft versions. The extra soft version has a pot life of 10-20 minutes with a cure time of 2-4 hours

Available in three hardnesses, extra soft, soft and medium. The soft is better suited to moulding delicate, fragile items where the rubber needs to be soft and flexible enough to peel off without damaging the casting. The medium is suitable for the majority of cases.

THE FINISHED MOULD IS SUITABLE FOR USE WITH:

Polyurethane resin

Epoxy resin *
(* Excl. some epoxies, check with supplier of the resin if silicone moulds are suitable.)

Polyester resin

Acrylic resin

Plastisol (PVC)

Plaster

Cement

Polymer clays (Will inhibit the cure of liquid platinum silicone, see below)

Waxes

Soaps

Metals with a pouring temperature below 250°C

*CURE INHIBITION*

A release agent will not create a sufficient barrier to prevent cure inhibition but a layer of paint will. If the paint is solvent based allow sufficient time for the solvent to completely evaporate off as that too can inhibit the cure

Great care must be taken when handling and mixing all addition-cured silicone elastomer systems. All the mixing tools (vessels and spatulas) should be clean and constructed in materials which do not interfere with the curing mechanism. The cure of the rubber can be inhibited by the presence of compounds of nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorus and arsenic; organotin catalysts and PVC stabilisers; epoxy resin catalysts and even contact with materials containing these substances e.g. moulding clays, sulphur vulcanised rubbers, condensation cure silicone rubbers, some printed plastics, onion and garlic.
