| Smooth-Cast® 325 Colormatch™ For True Color Representation |
Smooth-Cast® 325 Colormatch™ For True Color Representation
|
Smooth-Cast® ColorMatch® plastics are fast-cast resins that were developed specifically for adding color pigments and fillers to achieve true color representation or filler effect. The ColorMatch® Series is formulated "color neutral". Small amounts of pigment will yield accurate, vivid colors from cured castings (use of Smooth-On SO-Strong® pigments is highly recommended). Because of its neutral color, the ColorMatch® Series is ideal for creating marble and wood grain casting effects, or duplicating the look of real metal by adding bronze, brass or other metal powder (see Smooth-On technical bulletin for metal cold casting). - Smooth-Cast® 325 ColorMatch® - 10 minute demold time
- Smooth-Cast® 326 ColorMatch® - 60 minute demold time

| Smooth-Cast® ROTO Liquid Plastic |
Smooth-Cast® ROTO Liquid Plastic
|
Smooth-Cast ROTO ® is a low viscosity liquid plastic that gradually becomes thicker, making it ideal for rotational casting applications. Castings will be hollow and lightweight but have the appearance of being solid, allowing you to use less material to attain the same finished look (substantially lowering your material costs). Fully cured castings are semi-rigid and exhibit good impact resistance. Castings resist moisture and mild solvents and can be machined, sanded and painted. ROTO® can also be cast solid for a variety of industrial and art-related applications. - Smooth-Cast® ROTO - 10 – 15 minute demold time
(depending on mass and casting wall thickness)

| Smooth-Cast® 385 Mineral Filled Liquid Plastic |
Smooth-Cast® 385 Mineral Filled Liquid Plastic
|
Smooth-Cast® 385 is a mineral filled urethane casting resin that is very hard and durable. When Parts A and B are mixed in proper proportion (1A:5B by weight), the material cures at room temperature with virtually no shrinkage. Smooth-Cast® 385 has high compressive and flexural strength. Fully cured castings are tough, machinable and paintable. Color effects are possible by adding pigment dispersions. They resist moisture and mild solvents.
Smooth-Cast® 385 is ideal for making industrial production parts, foundry patterns, vacuum forming molds, and some ceramic applications. - Smooth-Cast® 385 - 2 hour demold time

| Smooth-Cast® ONYX® |
Smooth-Cast® ONYX®
|
Smooth-Cast ONYX® is a mercury-free urethane resin that cures quickly at room temperature to a deep black, solid plastic. ONYX® offers the convenience of a 1A:1B by volume mix ratio and has a very low viscosity, so it is easy to mix and pour. ONYX® has an ultimate shore hardness of 80D and offers higher physical properties and higher heat resistance vs. other general purpose resins.
Advantages that ONYX® offers over other resins;
• If you desire a black casting, adding color pigment is not necessary
• Cured plastic is ultra-black and darker than competitive black resins
• Cured ONYX® plastic can be polished and buffed to a high gloss shine
• ONYX® offers higher heat resistance (to 200°F /94° C at room temperature) vs. competitive black resins
• Unlike other black resins, ONYX®does not contain mercury
• ONYX® is less expensive vs. other black resins.Applications include reproducing sculpture, making prototypes and potting / encapsulation. Because ONYX® is a fast curing resin and becomes hard quickly, it is also great for doing fast cold cast bronze, brass, copper, nickel/silver, etc. |

| Plasti-Paste™ Trowelable Plastic |
Plasti-Paste™ Trowelable Plastic
|
Plasti-Paste® is a two component fiber resin that is designed for vertical surface application. Part A is a liquid and Part B is a paste. Mix ratio is 1A : 3B by volume (41A:100B by weight). It has no odor and pot life is 8 – 10 minutes depending on mass. Demold time (can be handled) is about 90 minutes depending on mass.
Plasti-Paste® holds a vertical surface without sagging and cures to a strong, durable and lightweight plastic. Suitable as a mother mold / support shell (reinforces shape of rubber mold during casting), or as a laminating material. Can be pigmented with So-Strong® color tints from Smooth-On. Add cabosil or other filler as an extender or for special effects. |

Crystal Clear® Series resins are water white clear and made specifically for applications that require absolute clarity. These rigid urethane casting resins differ only in working and demold times. Low viscosity ensures easy mixing and pouring. Crystal Clear® products cure at room temperature with negligible shrinkage. Cured castings are UV Resistant and are not brittle. Vibrant colors and color effects are achieved by adding SO-Strong® color tints. Applications include encapsulation, making prototype models, lenses, sculpture reproductions, decorative cast pieces, jewelry, prototype models, special effects and props. Heat curing is essential to realize full physical properties. Read the Technical Bulletin for full details. CAUTION: NOT FOR HOME USE. THIS PRODUCT IS FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY - Proper ventilation, a NIOSH Approved Respirator and Protective Clothing are required to minimize the risk of inhalation and dermal sensitization.

| Shell Shock® Brushable Liquid Plastic |
Shell Shock® Brushable Liquid Plastic
|
Shell Shock® FAST and Shell Shock® SLOW are thixotropic plastics that self -thicken when mixed and can be brushed onto a variety of surfaces or into rubber molds. When Parts A and B are mixed in proper proportion (1A:4B by volume or 1A:5B by weight), material cures at room temperature with virtually no shrinkage to a hard, durable plastic that exhibits good compressive and flexural strength. Fully cured castings are rigid and can be sanded, primed and painted. Color effects are possible by adding SO-Strong Color Tints. Shell Shock® is ideal for making fast, lightweight rigid molds for creating silicone appliances and effects (use as a replacement for gypsum molds). You can also brush a "gel coat" into a rubber mold and back it up with rigid foam, creating a highly detailed lightweight casting. This product can also be brushed onto foams as an impact resistant coating that can be sanded, primed and painted (minimum 3/8" thickness recommended). Shell Shock® can also be used to make rigid support shells for brush on rubber molds. Shell Shock® FAST working time is 3 minutes. Shell Shock® SLOW working time is 8 minutes.

| Feather Lite® Liquid Plastic - It Floats In Water! |
Feather Lite® Liquid Plastic - It Floats In Water!
|
Feather Lite® is a heavily filled low-density urethane casting resin. Cured plastic is lightweight (it floats in water!) and has a much lower density than other casting resins. Feather Lite® features a convenient 1A:1B by volume mix ratio and mixes easily (pre-mixing of parts A & B is necessary). Cured plastic is strong and can be carved, machined, drilled, sanded, etc. Feather Lite® can be pigmented with SO-Strong® color tints prior to casting and finished castings can be painted. And because this product is low-density, it yields more plastic per pound/kg. than other casting resins, the cost per casting is low. Feather Lite® can be used for a variety of art or industrial design related applications including reproducing sculpture, making fishing lures, prototype model making, casting doll heads and figures, and many more applications. - Feather Lite® - 2 hour demold time
