Slacker® is a one component translucent clear fluid that is added “by volume” to our translucent platinum-cure silicones such as Dragon Skin and Ecoflex products.  Slacker will change the “feel” of the silicone rubber to a softer and more “flesh-like” material. It also alters the rebound properties of the silicone, making it feel more like human tissue.   
 
Slacker® allows the user to vary the degree of tackiness to the cured silicone, allowing for the creation of self-sticking silicone appliances.  The amount of tackiness is in direct proportion to the amount of slacker added.  Pieces created with Slacker will not exude silicone oil, eliminating a common problem with other softening methods.  
 
Slacker® can be added in larger proportions to Smooth-On’s super soft and stretchy platinum silicones (for example,  Ecoflex  00-30)  to  make  silicone  gel  that  can  be  used  to  create  gel-filled  silicone  prosthetic  appliances.  Gel-filled appliances will flex, bend, and even wrinkle like human flesh.  Silicone gels created with Slacker can also be used to create cushioning materials for medical applications (anaplastology).
