Polytek PlatSilĀ® FS-20 Liquid Silicone Rubbers
Categories: Polymer; Thermoset; Silicone; Silicone Rubber

Material Notes: Description: PlatSilĀ® FS-Series (Fast-Setting) Liquid Silicone Rubbers are two-component, room temperature curing mold rubbers. This series offers fast-setting formulations with long pour times relative to their cure speed. This allows for fast turn-around of molds and parts with sufficient time to mix and pour. PlatSil silicone rubbers are platinum-catalyzed, which, unlike tin-catalyzed systems, do not shrink on cure or deteriorate over time. Molds made from PlatSil rubbers offer good chemical resistance, making them a good choice when planning to cast polyesters, polyurethanes (plastic, foam, rubber), epoxies and more. PlatSil rubbers offer excellent release properties, making release agents unnecessary in many applications. Polytek offers additives to vary the viscosity and cure time of the liquid rubber, as well as hardness and color of the cured rubber.

Product Line Features:

  • Fast-setting formulas with long pour times
  • Low viscosity for excellent reproduction of details and easy degassing
  • Easy 1A:1B mix ratios by weight
  • Cure at room temperature or accelerate with heat
  • Easy release properties; save on release agents
  • High tear strength; fewer prematurely torn molds
  • Good chemical resistance for longer mold life
  • Low/zero shrinkage for better dimensional reproduction
