Product Description
VytaFlex™ 60
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.

Smooth-Cast™ 325
The Smooth-Cast™ 325, 326 & 327 ColorMatch™ Series plastics are urethane resins that were developed specifically for adding color pigments and fillers to achieve true color representation or filler effect. The ColorMatch™ Series is formulated “color neutral”. Small amounts of pigment will yield accurate, vivid colors from cured castings using So-Strong™ tints, UVO™ pigments or Ignite™ color pigments. The ColorMatch™ Series offers the convenience of a 1A: 1B mix ratio by volume and has a very low viscosity. Demold times range from about 10 minutes to 2-4 hours (depending on product, mass and mold configuration). Note: Large mass castings will get very hot and shrink more, depending on mold configuration.
The ColorMatch™ Series also readily accept fillers (such as URE-FIL™ 3 from Smooth-On). Because of its neutral color, Smooth-Cast™ 325 is ideal for creating marble and wood grain casting effects, or duplicating the look of real metal by adding bronze, brass or other metal powder. Applications for the ColorMatch™ Series plastics include making pigmented prototype models or figures, special effect props, reproducing small to medium size sculptures, decorative jewelry, etc.
