Yes, its low viscosity and self-leveling properties capture intricate details like fingerprints
Clean the master model with isopropyl alcohol and apply a silicone-free release agent (e.g., PTFE spray) to ensure easy demolding
Condensation-cure (e.g., RTV-2) suits general-purpose molds, while addition-cure (platinum-catalyzed) is ideal for food-grade or high-detail applications due to zero byproduct release
Store in airtight containers at 10–25°C (50–77°F) to extend shelf life.
Use thixotropic agents or solvents recommended by the manufacturer.
Minimal shrinkage (0.1–0.5%) ensures dimensional accuracy.
Common ratios are 1:1, 100:2,10:1, or custom ratios per supplier.
Typically Shore A 10–60.
Cure times range from 4–24 hours, depending on formulation.
Yes, low-viscosity RTV2 is compatible with injection molding.
