TFC Silicone Rubber Type 18 Food Grade Translucent Medium Hard Shore 30 1:1 - Size: 1kg (2x 500g)

Product Information: TFC Silicone Rubber Type 18 Food Grade, Translucent, Medium Hard, Shore 30, 1:1 - Size: 1 kg (2 x 500 g)

TFC Silicone Rubber Type 18 Food Grade, Translucent, Medium Hard, Shore 30, 1:1
Contents: 1 kg (500 g A + 500 g B)

Addition-curing, 2-component silicone rubber that vulcanizes at room temperature (RTV).

The silicone is supplied in high-quality plastic squeeze bottles with a dosing cap.
This makes dispensing very easy and clean.
Precise dosing is effortless, as you would expect from comparable food packaging, and represents a significant improvement over the usual tin cans or wide-mouth bottles.

TFC Silicone Rubber Type 18 is ideal for producing sophisticated, elastic, and durable molds with pronounced undercuts.

For this purpose, the mold must be preheated (annealed) accordingly during production. This allows for continuous temperature resistance up to approximately 100 degrees Celsius. If you require such a baking mold, please contact us so we can custom-make it for you.

TFC Silicone Rubber Type 18 can be used to produce single- or multi-part molds for replicating original models made of wood, glass, metal, plastic, wax, or ceramic casting materials. You can also cast in the prepared molds with all water-soluble casting materials, such as relief casting compounds such as TFC Xyrarock or TFC Xyraflix, TFC alabaster plaster, modeling and model making plaster, casting clay, cement, concrete, etc. You can also easily cast with soap casting compounds (soap glycerin) for making your own soap or waxes for candle making, as well as with casting resins.

In this case, you should pretreat the mold with a release agent before pouring, as casting resins can cause the mold to become brittle after repeated pouring.

Certain substances prevent or slow the vulcanization of TFC Silicone Rubber Type 18, which can be noticed by sticky or blistered surfaces. These include, among others, condensation-curing silicones, organic rubbers, plasticizers, amines, heavy metal compounds, and sulfur-containing substances. High humidity and water can also cause problems. Under unfavorable conditions, surfaces that have come into contact with the aforementioned substances, as well as certain modeling clays, can also cause vulcanization problems. If in doubt, we recommend conducting preliminary tests on a small scale.
