The two chemical components, which have no smell and are not harmful, can be combined easily with a ratio of 1:1. They have a low viscosity, allowing them to be used without needing to be processed in a vacuum chamber. The Silicone that has been treated is a slightly transparent beige or off-white color and is a highly flexible and elastic material with strong resistance to tension and tearing.
It exhibits minimal shrinkage (0.1%) and can accurately replicate intricate details. This type of Silicone has a prolonged lifespan in moulds and boasts exceptional release capabilities. As a type of addition or platinum-cured Silicone, it maintains excellent dimensional stability and is resistant to deformation, ensuring a lasting shelf life.
The color of the cured Silicone can be modified by adding a color pigment while mixing the two components. We offer a variety of compatible color pigments
When using this material to cast into a silicone mold, it is necessary to use a release agent.
To customize the material to your specific needs, you can use a softening additive.
It is possible to make the material thixotropic for easier application on vertical surfaces or overhead objects
Key Properties of the prosthetic material are as follows:
– Pot Life at 25°C: 10-20 minutes
– Cure Time at 25°C: 2-4 hours
– Viscosity at 25°C: 3000 Mpa.s
– Density at 25°C: 1.08 g/cm3
– Hardness: 5 Shore A
– Linear Shrinkage: 0.1%
COMPATIBLE FOR:
Direct contact with skin
Prosthetics
Special effects
Animatronics
Cushioning
This prosthetics grade silicone is resistant to bacterial growth, hypoallergenic to prevent irritation, and remains soft and elastic. “Its applications are varied, ranging from medical prosthetics and cushioning to the creation of skin effects, movie special effects, and animatronics. It can also serve as a pliable material for casting resins, plasters, waxes, soaps, and more.”
CAUTION: CURE INHIBITION
While a release agent may not be sufficient to prevent cure inhibition, a layer of paint can. It is important to allow solvent-based paint enough time to fully evaporate, as the solvent can inhibit the cure process. Extreme caution should be exercised when handling and mixing addition-cured silicone elastomer systems. All mixing tools should be clean and made of materials that do not interfere with the curing process. The cure of the Silicone can be inhibited by nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and arsenic compounds; organotin catalysts and PVC stabilizers; epoxy resin catalysts; or contact with materials containing these substances, such as moulding clays, sulfur vulcanized Silicones, condensation cure silicone Silicones, some printed plastics, onion, and garlic.
