Product Description

VytaFlex™ 50

Using Smooth-On’s exclusive “V-Polymer™” technology, VytaFlex™ urethane rubbers offer superior physical and performance properties for casting concrete. VytaFlex™ urethanes are available in 10A, 20A, 30A, 40A,  45A, 50A and 60A Shore hardness’s and feature convenient one-to-one by volume mix ratios.

Vacuum degassing is not necessary and VytaFlex™ rubbers cure with negligible shrinkage to a durable rubber that will last in production.

VytaFlex™ mold rubbers work especially well for casting pigmented / colored concrete. Molds made with VytaFlex™ Series urethanes will render accurate and uniform colored castings.

Plasti-Paste™ II

New Plasti-Paste™ II is a two component fiber-filled resin that is designed for vertical surface application. This no-odor formulation is an improved version of our original Plasti-Paste™ formula, and the cured product is different in the following ways:

  1. Plasti-Paste II is now phthalate free.
  2. Cured plastic can be painted (original Plasti Paste™ can not)
  3. It is harder, more rigid with better heat resistance.

Part A is a liquid and Part B is a paste. New Mix Ratio is 1A: 2B by volume (62A:100B by weight). Pot life is 10 minutes at room temperature depending on mass. Demold time (can be handled) is about 90 minutes at room temperature depending on mass. Full cure; 24 hours at room temperature. Cure time can be accelerated by applying heat.

Mixed material holds a vertical surface without sagging and cures to a strong, durable and lightweight plastic. Liquid material can be pigmented with So-Strong™ color tints from Smooth-On. This plastic can be used for creating themed environments or special effects, used as a “mother mold” material to reinforce rubber molds and a variety of other applications. This plastic is also a powerful adhesive and can be used as a repair material for a variety of industrial applications. Cured plastic can be sanded, machined and painted with acrylic enamel paints.
