TECHSiL's Top 5 Mould Making Materials
Mould making silicones and compounds are used across industries requiring prototypes, replicating fine details and testing for validation within automotive and aerospace for example. It is also used within consumer products where high heat and strength, along with flexibility, and chemical resistance is required. These materials are also used in creative industries, for applications in architecture and furniture manufacturing, along with part reproduction. TECHSiL offer a range of moulding materials and below we have highlighted 5 of our best, high quality mould making compounds.
TECHSiL RTV24** Moulding Compound Range
The TECHSiL RTV24** range are two-component, condensation cure, RTV silicones with high tear strength. RTV2410, RTV2420, and RTV2430 are all general-purpose mould making compounds in varying degrees of hardness: 10A Shore hardness, 20A Shore hardness and 30A Shore hardness. Once cured, this product is an exceptionally flexible rubber with good sheer life stability.
RTV24** range is suitable for mould making of intricate patterns as it offers extremely good pick up of fine details. Softer grades are better suited for use where there are deep undercuts.
