Silicone RTV Rubber for Mold Making

Shin-Etsu's RTV* silicone rubber for moldmaking is an excellent material that can be used to make replicas with a wide variety of different materails including polyester and epoxy resins, urethane foam, wax, gypsum and low-temperature composite. This moldmaking RTV silicone rubber can be counted on to precisely reproduce. This moldmaking RTV silicone rubber can be counted on to precisely reproduce the shape of the original model.



Shin-Etsu's moldmaking RTV silicone rubber is simple and straightforward to use. It is this ease of use and wide range of applications that makes it the first choice in not only industrial applications, but also among hobbyists who are looking to create the perfect replica.

  • Silicone RTV rubber for  moldmaking
  • Silicone RTV rubber compounds for moldmaking are suitable for molding with polyester resin, epoxy resin, urethane foam, wax, plaster and low-melt-point metal alloys. These RTV rubber compounds allow accurate reproduction of the shape of the original. They are easy to use and used widely in industrial applications, as well as by hobbyists looking to create the perfect replica

    Properties

    • Workability

    The base compound and curing agent are mixed and then poured into the mold to create a silicone rubber mold quickly. Workable time and cure time can be adjusted.

    • Mold-releasability

    The cured rubber releases easily from the mold, so mold-release agents (soapy water, wax, etc.) are unnecessary.

    • Dimensional stability

    These rubbers offer good dimensional stability, with little shrinkage.

    • Flowability

    They have excellent flowability, so the original form is reproduced accurately. This includes even intricate shapes and details such as fingerprints and wood grain.

    • Heat and chemical resistance

    These rubbers have outstanding resistance to heat and chemicals

    • Deep-section curability

    Moldmaking RTV silicone rubber compound cures uniformly throughout the mold, regardless of thickness.

    • Non-exothermic

    No heat is generated during curing, meaning no adverse effects to the original.
