Low-durometer platinum-cure RTV-2 mold making silicone

General Information

P-10, P-15 and P-20 RTV silicone rubbers are two-component, platinum-catalyzed systems that cure at room temperature. All of these materials have low viscosity, high elongation, high tear strength and low durometer. They are easy to mix and de-air, and will cure with virtually no shrinkage. The speed at which the rubber hardens can be dramatically accelerated with heat or with PT-Accel at room temperature. Addition-cure two-component silicone rubbers exhibit excellent chemical and heat resistance, but may show inhibition sensitivity. P-10, P-15 and P-20 offer excellent release properties and are extremely useful for casting complex shapes, animatronic skins, or any application where exceptional flexibility and tear resistance are required.
