Silicone FX Transparent- transparent moldmaking silicone
is an RTV silicone rubber for two-component addition that vulcanises at room temperature.
Silicone rubber FX transparent has a high tensile-shear strength, high Shore A, density and a relatively good transparency. It is indispensable in the rapid prototypes production (automotive, industrial design, etc.)
ADVANTAGES
- Excellent chemical and abrasion resistance
- High strength and resistance to tearing
- Low shrinkage
- Dimensional stability
- Temperature resistance up to 200°C
Due to the high viscosity of FX-transparent, vacuuming is recommended.
At temperature 40°C, gelling time and hardening time are cut in half.
APPLICATION AREAS
Mouldmaking
Rapid prototyping
Moulds for casting concrete
Making hight accuracy moulds with high chemical resistance
