PART A and PART B are both clear liquids which are odourless and non-toxic. They react to form a translucent beige/off white coloured flexible, elastic material with high tensional and tear strength. It has outstanding release properties, a high chemical resistance and a temperature resistance of 250°C.
This rubber is suitable for casting a wide range of materials including for use with confectionery, speciality foods and is safe for contact with skin for life castings. Please see below for more details.

*CURE INHABITION:*
Great care must be taken when handling and mixing all addition-cured silicone elastomer systems. All the mixing tools (vessels and spatulas) should be clean and constructed in materials which do not interfere with the curing mechanism. The cure of the rubber can be inhibited by the presence of compounds of nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorus and arsenic; organotin catalysts and PVC stabilisers; epoxy resin catalysts and even contact with materials containing these substances e.g. moulding clays, sulphur vulcanised rubbers, condensation cure silicone rubbers, onion and garlic.
