Kit consists of 500g of PART A and 500g of PART B. Total kit volume 925ml
A very soft silicone rubber which has a wide range of uses from cushioning applications to creating skin effects, other movie special effects and animatronics. Mixing ratio of 1:1, very low viscosity therefore can be used without processing in a vacuum chamber. The cured rubber is a translucent beige/off white colour that is a very flexible, elastic material with high tensional and tear strength.
*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.
