Ultra soft platinum silicone for masks, robotics and dolls
Zhermack SFX 00-30 is a two component addition cure silicone rubber with Shore 00-30 hardness. It is the slightly firmer version of SFX 00-20 and therefore holds its shape better, while remaining ultra soft and highly stretchable. It mixes 1:1 by weight, the working time is 25 minutes and the material is set after about 110 minutes at 23 °C.
Key benefits
- Shore 00-30, ultra soft but more dimensionally stable: firmer than SFX 00-20 and therefore better suited to larger masks and parts that need to hold their shape.
- Highly stretchable: high elongation at break, so thin edges and over stretched parts do not tear easily.
- Tear strength 4 N/mm (Die B): resists tearing during repeated putting on and taking off.
- Low viscosity: 6,000 mPa s, free flowing and self de-airing for sharp detail reproduction.
- Translucent: a neutral base for pigmenting, flocking and skin tones.
- Softened with Deadner: for a gel like consistency without switching product.
- Excellent release: models demould easily.
⚠️ No biocompatibility assessment for this product
Zhermack had the ISO 10993-1 biocompatibility study carried out on ZA SFX 0020 and ZA SFX 10 WT 10. SFX 00-30 was not part of that study. We therefore make no claim about skin or mucosal contact for this product.
If you need a silicone that has been assessed for contact with intact skin and with mucosal membrane, choose Zhermack SFX 00-20 or Zhermack ZA SFX 10 WT 10. If you are unsure, contact us at info@siliconesandmore.com.
Typical applications
- ✓ Masks and cosplay
- ✓ Animatronics, robotics and dolls
- ✓ Props and set building
- ✓ Special effects without prolonged direct skin contact
- ✓ Soap and candle moulds
Processing
- Shake or stir base and catalyst separately before use to redisperse any sediment.
- Weigh base and catalyst 1:1. A deviation of up to 5 % does not noticeably change the result.
- Mix vigorously in a clean, grease free and dry container and scrape the bottom and sides, until the mixture is homogeneous.
- Add Deadner if you want a softer, gel like consistency.
- Preferably de-air under vacuum and pour from about 30 cm height into the mould.
- Allow about 110 minutes to set at 23 °C, then demould without tools.
Above 23 °C working time and setting time drop sharply, at 40 °C roughly by half. Below 23 °C both increase considerably. Heating speeds up the cure, but air bubbles then have less time to escape.
Points to watch
- ✓ The platinum catalyst is in the CATALYST component. Only use base and catalyst together when they carry the same batch number.
- ✓ Uncured silicone is irritating to the eyes. Wear eye protection and gloves.
- ✓ Sulphur bearing clay, latex, PVC, uncured polyurethane and epoxy, cyanoacrylate and many SLA 3D prints can poison platinum silicones. Test on a small scale or use a PVA barrier layer.
- ✓ Shelf life about 12 months in closed packaging, stored cool and frost free.
