RTV-2 Silicone Material Selection Guide

Learn how to choose the right silicone based on hardness, viscosity, curing system, and application needs.

Choosing the right RTV-2 silicone is the most important step in mold making. The wrong hardness, viscosity, or curing system can lead to bubbles, tearing, or poor mold performance.

This guide will help you understand how to select the best silicone for your specific application, whether you are working with resin, concrete, or industrial molds.

Key Factors in Silicone Selection

쇼어 A 경도

Soft silicones (10–20A) are ideal for detailed molds and easy demolding. Medium hardness (20–30A) is suitable for general-purpose molds, while higher hardness (30–40A) provides better stability for large molds.

점성

Low viscosity silicone flows easily and captures fine details, while higher viscosity systems are better for thicker molds and vertical applications.

Cure System

Tin-cure silicone is cost-effective and widely used, while platinum-cure silicone offers better durability, lower shrinkage, and higher precision.
