Silicone

Smooth-On’s new Mold Max silicones are the choice of model makers because no release agent is required when casting urethanes, polyester or epoxy resins, and castings are easily painted. Silicone rubber will also withstand the high temperatures of tin, pewter, and other low melt allys. Smooth-On silicones also give long life when casting other material such as plaster and concrete.

Mold Max Series- Smooth-On’s new line of tin-cure silicones that feature low mixed viscosites with high tear strenght and knotty tear propagation. Currently avaiable in 10A, 20A, 30A, and 40A shore hardness. New Mold Max 15T and 27T are translucent and allow you to see your model. Thi-Vex thickener will thicken Mold Max silicones to a brush on consistency for vertical surface application. Fast Cat catalysts will reduce demold time to a few hours. Mold Max Thinner will reduce mixed viscosity for easier degassing and pouring.

Oomoo 25 & 30- For making one piece or two piece block molds of simple shapes. Oomoo silicones are for first time mold makers looking for low cost and easy to use silicone. Oomoo feature a 1A:1B by volume mix ratio ans low viscosity. Hardness: 25 and 30

Sota Clear 40- A premium water white translucent silicone rubber that cures at room temperature with no shrinkage. Sorta Clear 40 has a shore hardness of 40A and features exceptional tear and tensile strenght. Rubber clarity is especially useful when extracting model via cutting. Sorta Clear is ideal for making prototype, jewelry or other molds of any configuration where model visibilty is important. Materials such as urethane, epoxy or polyester resins can be cast into Sorta Clear. Other materials such as wax and low melt metal alloys can be cast into Sorta Clear. Sorta Clear can be pigmented with Silc Pig pigments.

Poyo Putty 40- New two-component, tin-cure silicone putties that can be applied “on-site” directly to almost any model; capturing the finest detail in minutes.

Smooth-Sil 910,920,930,940, and 950 (addition cure)- No post curing required and cures with virtually no shrinkage. Ideal for reproducing exact detail of any model. They come in different hardnesses. They are 10A, 20A, 30A, 40A, and 50A.

Rebound 25 – is an easy to use self thickening silicone rubber for brush on molds of almost any model. It can be applied with a brush or spatula to vertical surface without sagging and will cure with negligible shrinkage to a soft flexible rubber.

Applications
Reproducing sculpture
Architectural Restoration
Making Candle Molds
Casting Pewter, ect….

EcoFlex – Cures without a “tacky” surface. Low viscosity ensures easy mixing and de-airing. Cured rubber is very soft, strong and very stretchy. This water white translucent can be colored with Silc Pig pigments. It can also be thinned with silicone thinner or thickened with thi-Vex for brush-on application.

Applications

Making Prosthetic Appliances
Cushioning for Orthotic
Special Effect Application
(especially animatronic where repetive motin is requrired)

Equinox- Putty that is mixed in equal amounts by volume. Shrinkage is low and is exceptionally srong, durable and will resist high temperatures.

Application
Making Fast Mold Impressions
Orthotics/Orthopedic
Equine Hoof Repair
Jewelry Making and more…

Dragon Skin-Very soft, very strong, very strechy. High performance platinum silicone rubber that streches many times their size without tearing and rebound to original form without distortion. Dragon Skin is water white translucent and can be colored with silicone pigment.

Applications
Great for Animatronics
(where repetitive motion is required)
Orthotics/Orthopedic Applications

Rubber Glass- Is a tin catalyzed silicone rubber developed specifically for special effects. The mixture cures overnight to a solid water clear that can be easily broken or “crumbled” into pieces of broken glass, ice, or diamonds.l

Application
Used for display effects (encapsulated dried flower arrangement)
Special Effect (simulated broken glass)
Model Effects (simulated ice and water)

Silicone Thinner, Thi-Vex, and Fast Cat- are additives for silicone rubber that will reduce mix viscosity, speed up cure time or thicken the rubber for vertical application.

Silc-Pig- Pigment for tin cure and platinum cure silicone rubbers. Now available in red, yellow, green, blue, black, white, brown and flesh.

Sil-Poxy- is a one component adhesive made specifically for bonding silicone rubber to silicone rubber. It can also be used for repairing torn silicone molds. It provides a strong flexible bond between silicone parts.

Plat-Cat- Silicone cure accelerator is an additive designed to “accelerate” the cure time. Adding the accelerator reduces the pot life drastically.

Slacker- is a one component translucent clear fluid that can be added “by volume” to translucent platinum cure silicones such as Dragon Skin and Ecoflex. Slacker alters the rebound properties making it feel more like human tissue.

Skin Tite- is a versitile two component silicone product that can be used as an adhesive to temporarily adhere silicone appliances directly to human skin. Appliances bend and flex and will stay until you take them off.

Psycho Paint-is a two component translucent clear silicone that is used to make a base for color pigmenting. It was developed to help special effects and prosthic artisans to create painted on color effects for their silicone creations.
