Skinsil silicon:
Skinsil silicon:
Used for life casting purposes, unlike alginate it can be re used. It picks up high detail and does not perish.
Platinum cure:
Platinum cure:
Also known as addition cure silicon are most commonly mixed at a 50:50 ratio.
Used for moulding and casting. Platinum cure silicone can be coloured using platinum silicone pigments.
Properties:
Properties:
Silicone T4 + Catalyst :
Silicone T4 + Catalyst :
Outstanding release properties
Product cure can be heat accelerated
Translucent appearance allows split lines to be cut accurately in block moulds
Very low shrinkage and good dimensional stability
High hardness, but flexible and very tough
Can be used for high temperature casting applications
Silicone RTV-101 + Catalyst
Silicone RTV-101 + Catalyst
A red pourable rubber. This rubber is primarily used for the casting of low melt alloys, both centrifugally and by hand, or where a very firm mould is required. RTV101
It can also be used for casting resins, waxes, plaster etc.
High strength mould making rubber developed for prototype design and production tooling, especially for rapid prototyping.
