This rubber is suitable for casting a wide range of materials including for use with confectionery, speciality foods and is safe for contact with skin.
Detailed Description
*Do not purchase materials without consulting the technician first, stocks may vary and are not guaranteed*
PART A and PART B are both clear liquids. They react to form a translucent beige/off white coloured flexible, elastic material with high tensional and tear strength. This silicone has a temperature resistance of 250°C.
The two components mix easily with a simple 1:1 ratio and because of the low viscosity can be used without a vacuum chamber. The pot life is approximately 8-12 minutes, and the cure time is 1-2 hours.

*CURE INHIBITION*
Great care must be taken when handling and mixing all addition-cured silicone systems. All the mixing tools should be clean and constructed in materials which do not interfere with the curing mechanism. The cure of the rubber can be inhibited by the presence of compounds of nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorus and arsenic; organotin catalysts and PVC stabilisers; epoxy resin catalysts and even contact with materials containing these substances e.g. moulding clays, sulphur vulcanised rubbers, condensation cure silicone rubbers, some printed plastics, onion and garlic.
- Materials can only be purchased from eStore by CSM students, on the day of their booking, to be used in the casting workshop at L008.
- Students are not permitted to purchase materials from eStore for use outside of the workshop.
- Technicians should be consulted before purchasing materials from the eStore.
- Please show proof of purchase receipt to the technicians before collecting the purchased materials.
