We have several different types of Room Temperature Vulcanising (RTV) silicone rubber. You can use it to make molds or impressions from an item, or make the actual products. Supplied as two component kits, with a base and a catalyst, these RTV silicone rubber compounds are ready to mix. Different hardnesses are available, giving a final product of your choice. This can vary from soft and floppy for Special Effects purposes, to firm casting silicone for patternmakers. We even have a skin safe silicone for life casting impressions. See our Technical Information page for more explanations about the physical characteristics of these products. Unsure how much you will need ? An approximate measurement of 1kg of silicone will give you a slab - 300mm long x 300mm wide x 10ml thick |

Silicones
When used for moldmaking, addition cured, or platinum based silicone provides accurate detail with minimal shrinkage. The catalysing action of this type of silicone does not generate 'biproducts' hence the minimal shrinkage when taking a mold. Can be heat accelerated for faster curing, although monitoring should be done. Some varieties suitable for skin contact, others can become food grade safe.
