Processing
Zhermack SFX 00-20 is mixed in a 1:1 weight ratio (A:B). After mixing, the silicone is fluid and easy to process by hand or machine. It cures at room temperature, but the process can be accelerated in an oven. Note: air bubbles will have less time to escape when heated.
For a gel-like consistency, this product can be combined with a Deadner.
Important Usage Notes
The platinum catalyst is located in component B. Avoid contact with materials that may inhibit platinum-cured silicones, such as latex, certain plastilines, glues, paints and 3D printing materials (especially SLA). If unsure, test on a small scale or apply a protective PVA layer.
Zhermack SFX 00-20 is the ideal choice for professionals and hobbyists looking for a realistic, safe and flexible silicone rubber for their creative projects.
