Want a Clear Silicone? This is it! Shim lines and piece detail are easily viewed through this silicone, which makes cutting much easier. Many people are actually using this material as a casting medium for all types of clear flexible pieces. It has great resiliency and longevity. It can also be pigmented for seam identification or casting enhancement.
PlatSil® 71 Series RTV Silicone Rubbers are two-component, addition-cure, platinum-catalyzed, high tear strength, flexible mold compounds. They have tough knotty tear strength which make them especially valuable to the mold making industry. They are recommended for evaluation as mold materials for polyester, epoxy, polyurethane resins, waxes and many other materials. PlatSil® 71 Series Silicones are preferred because on curing, they don't shrink, they don't produce alcohol like tin-catalyzed silicones which can inhibit urethane castings, and they can be heat accelerated to speed the cure. |
