PlatSil Gel 25 is a platinum silicone rubber ideal for prosthetics and special effects. With a Shore hardness of 25A, it offers flexibility and tear resistance. It has a 20-minute working time and cures in 6-8 hours. Non-toxic and low-odor, it supports realistic skin textures and coloration.

PlatSil® 0020 is a platinum silicone rubber ideal for prosthetics and special effects. With a Shore hardness of 20A, it creates soft, durable molds that capture fine details. It offers a 20-minute working time and cures in 6-8 hours, making it suitable for detailed, lifelike applications.

PlatSil® Gel-10 is a versatile silicone system used in top films for creating realistic prosthetic effects. It features a 1:1 mix ratio, 6-minute working time, and 30-minute demold time. Add Smith's Deadener for ultra-realistic results. Modify properties with various additives for different applications.

PlatSil® 71/73 Part X Accelerator reduces pour and demould times for PlatSil® products. Adding 1% Part X cuts pour time to about 1/3, 2% to 1/4, and 3% to 1/6 of the normal time. Always test a small batch first. Mix Part X with Part B before combining with Part A. Refer to the Technical Bulletin for more details.

Deadener LV softens PlatSil Gel without oil leaching. Mix with Part A before adding Part B. Add up to 300% of the total weight of A + B. Demold times vary: 1 hour for 1A:1B:0D, 0.5 hour for 1A:1B:0.25D, 1A:1B:0.5D, 1A:1B:1D, and 1A:1B:2D. Shore hardness ranges from A25 to 00035.

PlatSil® FS-20 is a fast-setting, two-part silicone rubber with a 1A:1B mix ratio. It cures to a Shore OO66/A20 hardness in about 25 minutes and has an 8-minute pour time. Ideal for quick mold making, it can be accelerated with heat. Beware of cure inhibition from sulfur, amines, and certain compounds.

PlatSil Gel-OO is a platinum-cured silicone with a Shore OO-30 hardness, ideal for prosthetic applications. It features a 1:1 mix ratio, 6-minute working time, and 30-minute demold time. It can be modified with Thivex, PlatSil 71/73 Part R, or Deadener to adjust thickness, working time, or softness.

PlatSil Part H Hardener enhances the Shore Hardness of PlatSil Gels and extends working and demold times. For Gel 00, a 1A:1B:1H mix results in Shore A10 hardness. Gel 10 achieves Shore A20, and Gel 25 reaches Shore A40 with a 7-minute working time and under 2-hour cure.

PlatSil Retarder 71 & 73 R is used to extend the working time of platinum-based silicone rubbers. Add approximately 1% to Part A to double the working time, or 2% to triple it. Do not exceed 3% to avoid curing issues.

Smith's Theatrical Prosthetic Deadener is essential for softening PlatSil Gel 10 to mimic flesh-like movement. Add up to 200% deadener for desired softness, typically 175% for facial prosthetics. Ensure encapsulation with Super Baldiez or PlatSil Gel 10 before pouring to manage stickiness.
