Product Description
Ecoflex™ 5
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. Dispense using our convenient dispensing cartridges. 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.
Smooth-Cast™ 61D
The Smooth-Cast™ Semi-Rigid line of low-cost semi-rigid urethane casting resins cure quickly to semi-rigid plastics that offer exceptional strength and impact resistance.
New Formulations – New Look!
Smooth-Cast™ 61D is newly reformulated with a translucent white appearance and improved physical properties. All Smooth-Cast semi rigids are now mercury free and phthalate free. These plastics are easy-to-use (mix ratio is 1A:1B by volume) and have low viscosities for minimal bubble entrapment. Vibrant colors are possible by adding SO-Strong™, UVO™ or Ignite™ colorants.
These semi-rigid plastics are good for making impact resistant prototypes, models, toys, props, climbing holds, etc.
