Magikmold® P-540T is a platinum-cured, room temperature curing (RTV), translucent silicone rubber designed for the manufacture of high-performing, flexible molds. This two-part (Catalyst & Base), liquid silicone rubber has a Shore Hardness of A40, a pour time of 90 minutes, and a demold time of 24 hours.
Magikmold® P-540T molds are commonly used to cast the following materials:
- Urethane (polyurethane) plastic and rubber
- Plaster
- Polyester Casting Resin
- Cement, Concrete
- Epoxy
- Soap
- Wax
- Low-Melt Metals
Release agent is not necessary for casting most materials into Magikmold® P-500 Series molds, but for longer mold life with epoxy, polyurethane or polyester resins, a barrier coat or release agent (e.g., Stoner E-236 Urethane Mold Release) is recommended.
This is a pourable rubber, but it can be easily thickened with silicone thickener for brush-on application.
FOR INDUSTRIAL/PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY.
