PlatSil 71 Series Silicone Rubber

PlatSil 71 Series mold 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 as mold material for polyester, epoxy, polyurethane resins, waxes and many other materials. PlatSil silicones are preferred because on curing, they do not shrink, they do not produce alcohol like tin-catalyzed silicones which can inhibit urethane castings, and they can be heat accelerated to speed the cure.

Patented Polygel® mold rubbers are 1:1 mix liquids that thicken during mixing to a brush able or spray able viscosity. No Cab-O-Sil® or Part D is needed. Polygel® 50 can be applied about 1/4 inch thick while Polygel® 40 is thinner for best detail penetration. Polygel® Spray 50 is a spray able version.

Polygel® Spray 50 is a spray able version of Polygel® 50. Polygel® 50 Spray is softer for more delicate and undercut models and castings. A mold can be sprayed in one application and cured overnight. Spraying is a very economical alternative to brushing for molds made over large models and surface areas.
