Product Description
TASK™ 18
TASK™ 18 is a relatively low viscosity aluminum filled urethane casting resin that was developed specifically for making short run vacuum forming or thermoforming molds.
When Parts A and B are mixed in proper proportion, TASK™ 18 cures overnight at room temperature with negligible shrinkage to a very hard plastic that has a very high compressive and flexural strength. Cured TASK™ 18 can be polished, machined, drilled, painted, etc. TASK™ 18 is also used to make industrial production parts, prototype parts and tracing patterns.
Ecoflex™ 00-30
Ecoflex™ rubbers are platinum-catalyzed silicones that are versatile and easy to use. Ecoflex™ rubbers are mixed 1A:1B by weight or volume and cured at room temperature with negligible shrinkage. Low viscosity ensures easy mixing and de-airing. 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.
Certified Skin Safe - Cured Ecoflex™ 00-30 is skin safe and certified by an independent laboratory.
