Product Description
Psycho Paint™
Psycho Paint™ is a versatile and easy to use platinum silicone paint base developed to help special effects and prosthetic artisans, doll makers, etc. easily create painted-on color effects for their platinum silicone creations. It is a two component translucent clear platinum-cure silicone that is used to make a base for color pigmenting. Once the desired color is attained, Psycho Paint™ is thinned with a solvent. Thin layers of paint can then be applied to a model’s surface (made of Dragon Skin™, Ecoflex™ or other platinum silicone) using an airbrush. It can also be applied by brushing.
Smooth‑Sil™ 936
Smooth-Sil™ Platinum Silicones cure at room temperature with negligible shrinkage. With different hardnesses to choose from, Smooth-Sil™ products offer tremendous versatility and are suitable for making production molds of any configuration, large or small. These silicones exhibit good chemical, abrasion and heat resistance. Materials such as plasters, concrete, wax, low-melt metal alloys or resins (urethane, epoxy or polyester) can then be cast into these silicone rubbers without a release agent.
Smooth-Sil™ 936 is a lower viscosity platinum silicone rubber (21,000 cps). It is easier to mix, vacuum degas and pour. Smooth-Sil™ Platinum Silicones are used for rapid prototyping, wax casting (foundries and candle makers), architectural restoration and for casting concrete.
