Cab-O-Sil Fumed Silica For Thickening Rubber
 Cab-O-Sil Fumed Silica For Thickening Rubber
Cab-O-Sil Fumed Silica For Thickening Rubber
Cab-O-Sil is a lightweight filler that can be added to Smooth-On rubber and plastic products as a thickener, extender or to create special effects. Proportions of Cab-O-Sil filler, to rubber or plastic product, depend on the application or desired effect.

Cab-O-Sil is fumed silica, an extremely lightweight powder. Avoid getting airborne or inhaling.

Read MSDS before using.


SO-Strong® Color Tints For Urethane Rubber, Plastic, and Foam
 SO-Strong® Color Tints For Urethane Rubber, Plastic, and Foam
SO-Strong® Color Tints For Urethane Rubber, Plastic, and Foam
SO-Strong® liquid urethane colorants can be added to any Smooth-On liquid urethane rubber, urethane plastic or urethane foam (do not use with Smooth-On silicones). They can be used to create a variety of color effects for a wide range of material applications. For glowing fluorescent color effects, use Ignite colorants.

SO-Strong® colorants are highly concentrated, offer excellent dispersion and consistent color. A very small amount will color a proportionally large amount of liquid urethane material. The more you add in proportion to the volume of liquid urethane, the more dramatic the color effect. Recommended loading range is .01% to 3% of total system weight. Do not overload the liquid urethane system or cure inhibition / oozing may occur. If this is your first time adding color to a urethane system, it is recommended that you test the color effect by adding a few drops to a small amount of material and observe the outcome.

Ignite® Fluorescent Color Pigments
 Ignite® Fluorescent Color Pigments
Ignite® Fluorescent Color Pigments
The Ignite® line of liquid fluorescent colorants is compatible with Smooth-On urethane rubbers, urethane plastics, urethane foams (rigid and flexible) and silicones. The fluorescent or "glow" effect is maximized under ultra-violet light or "black light." The most dramatic color effect is realized when an Ignite colorant is used with a clear or translucent urethane rubber (such as Clear Flex 50) or plastic (such as Smooth-Cast 325).

What Makes Castings Made With Ignite® Pigments Appear To Glow? When you add Ignite fluorescent color to a urethane material, more ultraviolet light from the cured material is visible to your eye vs. castings made with SO Strong® colorants. The casting appears brighter in ambient light and appears to glow under ultraviolet light.

Cryptolyte® UV Glow Additive for Urethanes and Silicones
 Cryptolyte® UV Glow Additive for Urethanes and Silicones
Cryptolyte® UV Glow Additive for Urethanes and Silicones
Cryptolyte® is a translucent liquid additive that causes cured Smooth-On silicone rubbers, urethane rubbers, plastics or foams to glow a bright blue under a focused ultra violet light source (blacklight). You will not see the glow effect without an UV light source. When mixed at low percentages it will not affect clarity or color of material. For example, Cryptolyte® can be added to Crystal Clear® water clear resins and the glow effect will not be evident until the casting is illuminated by a UV light source.

Important: Best “glow” effect is realized when Cryptolyte® is added to clear (i.e. Sorta Clear silicone or Clear Flex urethane rubber) or translucent materials (i.e. Smooth-Cast 325 resin). Applications include special effects, Halloween mask and prop making, theme displays and security (you can make parts that are virtually undetectable in normal light but glow under UV black lighting).

Warning: This product is flammable. Exercise extreme caution and follow safety protocol for handling flammable liquids. Refer to MSDS for further safety information.

XTEND-IT® Dry Gas Blanket - Extend The Shelf Life Of Urethanes
 XTEND-IT® Dry Gas Blanket - Extend The Shelf Life Of Urethanes
XTEND-IT® Dry Gas Blanket - Extend The Shelf Life Of Urethanes
XTEND-IT® is a dry gas blanket designed to extend the shelf life of moisture sensitive polyurethane products by displacing the air in the container it is sprayed into.

Applying the XTEND-IT® dry gas blanket to the unused portion of a liquid polyurethane, before replacing the lid on the container, will significantly extend the shelf life of the product.

KICK-IT!® Cure Accelerator For Urethane Rubber
 KICK-IT!® Cure Accelerator For Urethane Rubber
KICK-IT!® Cure Accelerator For Urethane Rubber
KICK-IT® Cure Accelerator is an additive designed to "accelerate" the cure time of some Smooth-On urethane liquid rubber products without significantly affecting the ultimate physical properties. This allows for much faster removal (demold) of a part or rubber mold from the original model.

The accelerator is added to Part B by weight and should be thoroughly mixed with Part B before adding Part A. Important: Adding the accelerator drastically reduces the pot life (time you have to mix and pour material) of the liquid rubber product.


SO-FLEX® Softening Agent For Urethane Rubber
 SO-FLEX® Softening Agent For Urethane Rubber
SO-FLEX® Softening Agent For Urethane Rubber
So-Flex® is a softening agent that lowers the cured durometer of Smooth-On PMC® and ReoFlex® polyurethane products. For best results, you should use an accurate scale to properly use So-Flex®.

So-Flex® should be added to rubber by weight and must be thoroughly mixed (at least one minute) with the appropriate amount of Part B before combining with Part A.


URE-BOND® II Urethane Adhesive
 URE-BOND® II Urethane Adhesive
URE-BOND® II Urethane Adhesive
URE-BOND® II is a premium performance urethane adhesive compound that offers a strong flexible bond between many different surfaces. URE-BOND is ideal for adhering polyurethane rubber and other polymer products to many types of substrates (such as plaster, wood, cement, stone) and non-porous materials (such as glass, hard plastics and a variety of metals).

URE-BOND® II has also been used to repair torn polyurethane molds on a limited basis (with proper surface preparation). Working time is 5 minutes at room  temperature (72° F / 22° C). Once mixed and applied, URE-BOND® II takes about 60 minutes to cure and yields a strong, flexible bond.
  • URE-BOND® II - 60 minute cure time

Sun Devil® - UV Resistant Additive
 Sun Devil® - UV Resistant Additive
Sun Devil® - UV Resistant Additive
A one component liquid additive that will slow color change and physical degradation due to UV exposure for many Smooth-On liquid urethane products. Results will vary and will depend on intensity and duration of exposure to UV light to the cured material. Please read the Technical Bulletin for more information. Safety first! consult the product MSDS.
