Addition Curing

• For engineering design, prototyping, and architectural fabrication
• Use platinum catalyst
• Cure can be heat accelerated
• Exhibit virtually no shrinkage when cured at room temperature
• Offer better chemical resistance

Addition-cure  moldmaking product are charecterized by extremely low shrinkage during curing as well as high temperature stability. These materrials are therefore apropriate if a high dimensional accuracy is required of the replica. Addition-cure silicone elastomers are susceptible to cure inhibition when in contact with certain materials and chemicals such as amines, sulfur and organic tin salt containing products and substrates.

Condensation Curing

• For molding figurines, decorative reproduction, and making transfer pads
• provide outstanding resistance to inhibition
• Use tin catalyst
• Offer variable cure times at room temperature

Condensation-cure  moldmaking product are characterized by high tear strength and elasticity. Together with a very good flowability, this allows detailed reproduction of complex oringinals with deep undercuts, with out harming the origianl. Offten one-or two-part molds are sufficient. The multitude of possible combiations with curing agens and additives allows customizing products  for different purposes.
