Product Description
SORTA-Clear™ 37
SORTA-Clear™ Series rubbers are premium water clear translucent silicone rubbers (platinum catalyst) which cure at room temperature with negligible shrinkage. SORTA-Clear™ 37 has Shore 37A hardness and features high tensile and tear strength. This product also offers the convenience of a 1A:1B by volume mix ratio.
SORTA-Clear™ silicones are ideal for making prototype, jewelry or other molds of any configuration where model visibility is important (i.e. extracting a model from the mold via cutting). Materials such as urethane, epoxy or polyester resins can then be cast into SORTA-Clear™ silicone without application of a release agent. Other materials such as wax and low melt metal alloys can also be cast into SORTA-Clear™. SORTA-Clear™ can be pigmented with SILC Pig™ silicone pigments.
SORTA Clear™ 37 silicone rubber is FOOD SAFE and can be used for culinary applications including casting chocolate and other confections.
Certified Skin Safe - Cured SORTA Clear™ 37 is skin safe and certified by an independent laboratory.

TASK™ 13
TASK™ 13 is a fast setting two-component urethane that cures quickly to black semi-rigid plastic. TASK™ 13 has a pot life of 3 minutes and demold time of 20 minutes.
With a Shore value of 50D, these semi-rigid plastics are used for a variety of industrial applications including fast mold making, fast model duplication, prototyping, durable miniatures, black props and special effects, or making parts that are impact resistant. Fully cured castings are tough, durable and chemical resistant.
For Best Results… Do not cast TASK™ 13 into platinum cure (addition cure) silicone molds.
