Smooth-Sil® Platinum Cure Silicone Rubber

Smooth-Sil^® 930, 940 & 950 are mixed 100A:10B by weight and require an accurate gram scale or triple beam balance. Smooth-Sil^® 920 and 910 are mixed 1A:1B by volume and require no scale for measuring.

No post curing is required and the material cures with virtually no shrinkage. Ideal for reproducing exact detail of any model. These rubbers are suitable for making production molds of any configuration, large or small. Materials such as urethane, urethane foams, epoxies, polyester resins, wax and low-melt metal alloys (tin, pewter) can be cast into Smooth-Sil^® Series Silicones without application of release agent.

Smooth-Sil^® 940 is suitable for making baking molds and trays, ice trays, casting butter, chocolate and other applications used to produce food.

Rebound® 25 Self Thickening Brush-On Silicone Rubber
Rebound® 25 Self Thickening Brush-On Silicone Rubber	Rebound^® 25 is an easy-to-use platinum-cure silicone rubber that self-thickens for making brush-on molds of almost any model. Mixed 1A:1B by volume (no scale necessary), Rebound^® 25 can be applied with a brush or spatula to vertical surfaces without sagging and will cure with negligible shrinkage to a soft, flexible rubber. 3 to 4 layers are all that is necessary to make a strong, durable production mold for casting wax, gypsum, concrete or resins (urethane, polyester, etc.) And because Rebound^® 25 is a platinum silicone, it will last for many years in your mold library. Applications include reproducing sculpture, architectural restoration, making candle molds, etc. Rebound^® 25 - Shore 25A hardness

Ecoflex ® Supersoft Silicone

Ecoflex^® Rubbers are platinum-catalyzed silicones that are versatile and easy to use. Ecoflex^® Rubbers are mixed 1A:1B by weight or volume and cure at room temperature with negligible shrinkage. Rubber also cures without a "tacky" surface. Low viscosity ensures easy mixing and de-airing, or you can choose to mix and dispense using our convenient dispensing cartridges.

Cured rubber is very soft, very strong and very "stretchy", stretching many times its original size without tearing and will rebound to its original form without distortion. Ecoflex^® Rubbers are water white translucent and can be color pigmented with Silc-Pig^® pigments for creating a variety of color effects.

Ecoflex^® 5 - Shore 5A hardness
Ecoflex^® 00-30 - Shore 00-30 hardness (below the Shore A scale)
Ecoflex^® 00-10 - Shore 00-10 hardness (extremely soft)

SORTA-Clear® Translucent Silicone Rubber

SORTA-Clear^® 40 is apremium water white translucent silicone rubber (platinum catalyst) that cures at room temperature with no shrinkage. SORTA-Clear^® 40 has a Shore hardness of 40A and features exceptional tear and tensile strength. Rubber clarity is especially useful when extracting models via cutting. SORTA-Clear^® rubber is ideal for making prototype, jewelry or other molds of any configuration where model visibility is important.

Materials such as urethane, epoxy or polyester resins can then be cast into SORTA-Clear^® silicone without application of a release agent. Other materials such as wax and low melt metal alloys can also be cast into SORTA-Clear^®. SORTA-Clear^® can be pigmented with SILC Pig^® silicone pigments.

SORTA-Clear^® 40 - Shore 40A hardness

Body Double® Skin Safe Lifecasting Silicone Rubber

Body Double^® "Standard Set" and Body Double^® "Fast Set" are long lasting skin safe lifecasting silicone rubbers that can be applied directly to the skin to make molds of the face, hands and other body parts. The rubber cures quickly and will reproduce perfect detail from any original model - far better detail than any alginate!

One Casting or Many . . . For About The Same Price: unlike alginates, which are good for one only casting, Body Double^® will last for many castings of almost any material including plaster, Matrix Neo, wax, resins (Smooth-Cast urethanes, polyester, etc.), Low-temperature melt metal alloys, etc. And the amount of Body Double^® used per mold is less than most alginates, so the cost per mold is about the same.

Body Double^® "Standard Set" for larger surface areas. Working time of 5 minutes and a demold time of 20 minutes*
Body Double^® "Fast Set" for fast turn around. Working time of 90 seconds and a demold time of 5 minutes*

*Depending on material temperature, ambient temperature and body temperature. See Technical Bulletin for full details.

Equinox® One To One Silicone Putty

Equinox^® Silicone Putty Products are new silicone compounds (platinum catalyst) that can be easily mixed and applied by hand to a variety of surfaces. Equinox^® Putty is mixed in equal amounts (1A:1B) by volume. Pot life is about 1 minute with a cure time of about 7 minutes at room temperature (72°F / 23°C). Equinox 40 is a slower version with a 30-minute pot life and 5-hour demold time.

Shrinkage is low and cured rubber is exceptionally strong (very high tensile strength), durable and will resist high temperatures (for casting low-temperature melt metal alloys). They also resist cure inhibition. Applications include making fast mold impressions from almost any surface, orthotics / orthopedic, equine hoof repair, jewelry making and more.

Skin Tite® Silicone Adhesive For Creating Skin F/X

Skin Tite^® is a versatile two-component silicone rubber product that can be used as;

1. A Skin-Safe Bio-Adhesive to temporarily adhere platinum silicone appliances (such as wounds, scars, masks, prosthetic appliances and more) directly to human skin. Appliances bend and flex and will stay put until you take them off!

2. An “On Skin” Sculpting Medium - Create Wounds, Scars, etc. Directly On The Skin! Skin Tite^®can be combined with Silc-Pig^® silicone pigments and a small amount of Thi-Vex^® thixotropic additive to create silicone appliances directly on the skin.

3. A Casting Medium for casting into molds to create molded, reusable appliances (wounds, scars, etc.).

Cured Skin Tite^® is strong, stretchy and will move with the skin, even when affixed to hard to hold areas such as elbows, fingers and joints. It is ideal for repetitive motion applications. Skin Tite^® requires no release agent, even when applying to hair-covered skin surfaces.

Psycho Paint® Platinum Silicone Paint Base

Psycho Paint^® is a versatile and easy to use platinum silicone paint base developed to help special effects and prosthetic artisans, doll makers, etc. easily create painted-on color effects for their platinum silicone creations.

It is a two component translucent clear platinum-cure silicone that is used to make a base for color pigmenting. Once the desired color is attained, Psycho Paint^® is thinned with a solvent. Thin layers of paint can be then be applied to a model's surface (made of Dragon Skin^®, Ecoflex^® or other platinum silicone) using an airbrush.

In addition to painting the exterior of a cast piece, you can apply Psycho Paint^® to the inside of a platinum silicone or urethane rubber mold and then cast platinum silicone behind it. It can also be applied by brushing.

EZ-Spray® Silicone Rubber
EZ-Spray® Silicone Rubber	EZ Spray tm Silicone is a platinum cure silicone rubber developed specifically for spraying through the EZ~Spray Junior Cartridge System. With no or minimal surface preparation, EZ Spray Silicone can be sprayed onto vertical surfaces for making fast rubber molds of large surface areas. After a suitable thickness is attained, EZ Spray Silicone cures in 1 hour with negligible shrinkage to a durable mold rubber good for production casting resins, foams, concrete, plaster and other materials. Application of a support shell is achieved by spraying Smooth-On’s EZ~Spray Plastic over the rubber mold after it has fully cured. Read the EZ~Spray Junior manual prior to spraying.
