| Product Overview: Mold Max™ Silicones are tin-cured silicone rubber compounds that have exceptional working properties and library life. Mold Max™ Silicones feature Smooth-On’s exclusive “Libra™” catalyst for long library life. Mold Max™ silicones can be pigmented with Silc Pig™ silicone colorants. Pot life for the pourable silicones is 45 minutes and they cure overnight at room temperature. Mold Max™ Silicones will reproduce the finest detail and are suitable for a variety of industrial and art related applications including making molds for reproducing prototypes, furniture, sculpture and architectural elements. Mold Max™ 10, 20, 25 and 30 silicones can be thickened with THI-VEX™ additive for brush-on applications. (Note: THI-VEX™ is NOT compatible with Mold Max™ 40 or 60). Mold Max™ 60 offers highest heat resistance for casting metal (see separate technical bulletin) Mold Max™ Silicones can be used to cast a variety of materials including wax, gypsum, low melt alloys/metals and urethane, epoxy or polyester resins (without using a release agent). Important; you must weigh Part A & B components using a gram scale to be successful with Mold Max™ silicones. Vacuum degassing mixed material using a vacuum pump and chamber to remove entrapped air is recommended.Information provided by Reynolds Advanced Materials |
