{"title":"Silicone Rubber - Tin Based","description":"Also called condensation-cure silicone mold rubber, these are high-tear silicone mold rubbers that are known as the “work horse” of the industry because of their performance and economy. Tin cured silicone molds are used for casting wax, gypsum, polymer modified gypsum, etc. but are best known for standing up to production casting of urethane, epoxy and polyester resins. They are also good for casting low temperature melt metal alloys.","products":[{"product_id":"mold-max-10t-special-order","title":"Mold Max™ 10T Special Order","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLEASE CALL US TO ORDER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMold Max™ 10T\u003c\/strong\u003e silicone is a water white translucent tin cured silicone rubber compound that has exceptional tear strength and working properties.

Scrape the sides and bottom of the container several times. After mixing parts A and B, vacuum degassing is recommended to eliminate any entrapped air in liquid rubber. Your vacuum pump must pull a minimum of 29 inches of mercury (or 1 Bar \/ 100 KPa). Leave enough room in container for material expansion. Vacuum material until it rises, breaks and falls. Vacuum for 1 minute after material falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePouring \/ \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCuring \/ Post Curing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e - For best results, pour your mixture in a single spot at the lowest point of the containment field.

Allow the mold to cure overnight (at least 16 hrs) at room temperature (73°F\/23°C) before demolding. Post curing the mold an additional 4 hours at 150°F (65°C) will eliminate any residual moisture and alcohol that is a byproduct of the condensation reaction that can inhibit the cure of some urethane resins and rubbers. Allow mold to cool to room temperature before using. Do not cure rubber where temperature is less than 65°F\/18°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickening Mold Max™ Silicones For Brush-on Application\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eTHI-VEX™\u003c\/strong\u003e is made especially for thickening Smooth-On’s \u003cstrong\u003eMold Max™ 27T\u003c\/strong\u003e silicone for vertical surface application (making brush-on molds).
