What is a platinum silicone
Platinum cure silicone, also called addition cure silicone, are two-component high tear strength and flexible mold or casting compounds. They are recommended as a mold material for casting polyurethane, epoxy, or polyester resins, wax and a wide range of other casting materials.
Is platinum a silicone medical grade
Standard and food grade silicones are cured with peroxide. On the other hand, curing with platinum is more expensive, but the resulting silicone is cleaner and purer, and does not contain any fillers or byproducts. Medical grade silicones are cured with platinum – which is what we use.

Is platinum cured silicone safe
As it contains no peroxide by-products, platinum cured silicone is non-toxic as well as non-yellowing. This makes it the perfect material for use in sensitive environments as it will not contaminate any food or liquid it comes into contact with.
Does platinum silicone inhibit tin silicone
Tin silicones are less expensive. Platinum silicones are more susceptible to chemical inhibition, so they often require a test cure before use. (Note: If you use a Tin silicone on a surface, you can no longer pour a platinum silicone against the same master due to inhibition issues.
Is all platinum silicone skin safe
Platinum Cure Silicone:
While good for making molds for casting a variety of materials, platinums also have application and physical properties that other rubbers do not. As a result, they are used for other applications. For example, some are certified “skin safe” and can be applied directly to human skin.
What does platinum cured silicone mean
addition curePlatinum cured silicone, also referred to as addition cure silicone, is made using a system where a hydride- and a vinyl-function siloxane polymer react in the presence of a complex platinum catalyst. … A platinum-catalyzed system is made up of two silicone elastomer base parts, both of equal weight.
What is platinum silicone made from
Silicone is made of a silica backbone, not a hydrocarbon backbone like plastic. Platinum silicone is very pure and needs no plasticizers to stabilize it or make it flexible, no bisphenols, no pvc, and no phthalates.

What is the difference between platinum silicone and silicone
Silicone rubber is sensitive to sulfur that can be found on different surfaces and are present in some types of modeling clay. Platinum-cure silicone rubbers are critically sensitive to sulfur and will not cure under any circumstances when exposed.
