Product Description
TASK™ 11
TASK™ 11 urethane casting resin is a semi-rigid plastic (has some flexibility) that is strong and very tough. Originally developed for high impact tooling (drop hammer punch), TASK™ 11 also offers good abrasion and chemical resistance and is ideal for a variety of industrial applications.
This product is suitable for some FDA/USDA applications - dry food contact only.
TASK™ 11 applications include making abrasion resistant parts, foundry patterns, encapsulation, roller facings, metal bonding and vibration pads.

FOAM-iT!™ 8
Smooth-On’s FOAM-iT!™ Series are two-component water blown rigid foams that are versatile and easy to use. FOAM-iT!™ products are available in 3lb., 4 lb., 5 lb., 8 lb., 10 lb.,15 lb. or 26 lb. per cubic foot densities. Parts A and B are measured and mixed 2A:1B by weight. The mixture is then poured into a mold or other form (apply release agent if necessary). The mixture will expand many times original volume (depending on which FOAM-iT!™ product you are using) and develop a uniform cell structure. FOAM-iT!™ 8 is a unique, self-skinning foam with a finer, more uniform cell structure than the other FOAM-iT!™ products FOAM-iT!™ 8 can be cast in blocks as a machinable prototype modeling board.
All FOAM-iT!™ products can be used as a straight casting material, backfill material for hollow castings (adds structural strength) or as an encapsulation material, etc. They can be color pigmented with SO-Strong™, UVO™ or IGNITE™ colorants and are used for a variety of art/ craft, industrial design and special effects applications.
