PlatSil 73-20

PlatSil 73-20 Silicone Rubber is a two-part, platinum-catalyzed, liquid silicone system that cures (RTV) to a blue translucent, Shore A20 rubber. Compared to other silicones in the PlatSil 73-Series line, this option sets quickly with a demold time of 1 hour (at room temperature). The transparency of PlatSil 73-20 is useful for molds that need to be cut after cure parting lines can be better determined because the model is visible. This is a pourable rubber, but it can be easily thickened withPlatThix Liquid ThickenerorFumed Silicafor brush-on application.

FOR INDUSTRIAL/PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY.
