platinum cure silicone rubber
Addition cure silicone mold rubber
Also known as addition-cure silicone mold rubber, platinums exhibit the lowest long-term shrinkage and have the longest library life of all mold rubbers (with a price tag to match). While good for making molds for casting a variety of materials, platinums also have application and physical properties that other rubbers do not. As a result, they are used for other applications. For example, some are certified “skin safe” and can be applied directly to human skin. They are also used for making prosthetic and orthotic devices, skin safe appliances and effects, etc. Some are certified “food safe” for culinary applications.
Important: Platinum silicones are not compatible with: materials containing sulfur such as clays, latex, condensation or tin silicones, some types of 3D printing materials and some metal alloys containing tin.
