Description of silicone for skin casting    

 

RTV2 Silicone Rubber is a kind of two-component material. The silicone rubber is made up of Part A base silicone and Part B curing agent. The Part A base silicone and Part B CA curing agent can cure at room temperature by a condensation reaction, after full cure, it become a cured silicone mold. The silicone mold can be cast the following materials for reproduction: plaster, polyurethane, PU, GRC, cement, resin, polyester, wax etc...

 

Characteristics of silicone for skin casting      

 

1. Good flow ability and long working time

 

2. Medium hardness

 

3. High tear and tensile strength

 

4. Easy de-mould from complex replica parts

 

5. Acid and alkali-resistance

 

6. Low linear shrinkage

Applications of silicone for skin casting         

 

RTV2 Silicone rubber series are suited for reproduction of cement molding, concrete stones, artificial stones, plaster molding, figures, art objects, decoration molding, GRC products, gypsum products, resin products, PU molds. Etc.

  

 

 

 

 

Storage of silicone for lifecasting         

 

When the RTV2 Silicone Rubber is stored at or below 30 C (85F) in the original unopened containers, Silicone Base and CA30 Curing agent have a usable life of 12 months from the date of production.
