ArtTV Silicone is a high-strength RTV silicone moulding compound ideal for mould-making with plaster. Moulds made from ArtTV Silicone will give high-quality reproduction with no shrinkage and excellent release properties. ArtTV Silicone has been designed to be easy to mix by hand with a colour-coded catalyst to offer a visual aid to ensure the mixing is complete.
This silicone is a top choice among professionals in the fibrous industry, and its popularity is quickly growing in the film and TV production sector.The two components mix easily, and because of their low viscosity, ArtTV Silicone can be used without the use of a vacuum chamber and can also be thickened with Silastic Thixo Additive to enable you to make skin moulds and to mould in situ on site.
