Product Description
Ecoflex™ 00-45 Near Clear™
Ecoflex™ 00-45 Near Clear™ is a very soft, platinum silicone that is clearer than other Ecoflex™ silicones. Versatile and easy to use, Ecoflex™ 00-45 Near Clear™ rubber is mixed 1A:1B by weight or volume and cures at room temperature with negligible shrinkage. Low viscosity ensures easy mixing and de-airing. Cured material is skin safe and certified by an independent laboratory.
TASK™ 6
TASK™ 6 low cost, high performance casting resin yields castings that are tan and virtually bubble free. This resin offers superior physical and performance properties compared to our popular Smooth-Cast™ Series of general purpose casting resins. Vacuum degassing is not necessary and it offers the convenience of a 1A:1B by volume or weight mix ratio.
TASK™ 6 has high tensile and flexural strength, as well as high flexural modulus. This plastic was formulated for a variety of industrial applications including pattern making and making prototype models. This resin is designed for casting in thicknesses up to ½” (1.27 cm).
