Mold Max 20 High Performance Molding Silicone, are tin type silicone compounds with outstanding working properties and shelf life. Mold Max® Silicones, which come with Smooth-On's "Libra®" catalyst, can thus offer a long shelf life. Mold Max® silicones can be colored with Silc Pig® silicone colorants. Cast silicones have a pot life of 45 minutes and the silicone cures overnight at room temperature .
Vacuum degassing using a vacuum pump and chamber is recommended to remove trapped air.
General Features
- Mold Max® Silicones; It can model many industrial and artistic applications down to the last detail, including prototypes, furniture, sculpture and architectural element patterns.
- For brush applications; The consistency of Mold Max® 20 can be increased by using THI-VEX® additive.
- Mold Max® Silicones; Can be used for casting (without mold release) of many materials including wax, gypsum, low melting alloys/metals, urethane, epoxy or polyester resins.
Use
Important: When using Mold Max® silicones, you must weigh Part A and B components using a precision scale to get the correct result.
If you are in doubt about the performance of this material, we recommend that you do a small test application to determine its suitability for your project, given that no application is alike.
