The Smooth-On Task 9 is a high-performance urethane casting resin that combines exceptional strength, durability, and ease of use. This clear amber resin is designed to make impact-resistant tooling, color-accurate prototypes and models, and durable reproductions. With a 1:1 mix ratio by volume and low mixed viscosity of 300 cps, TASK 9 is easy to mix and minimizes bubble entrapment. The result is a casting resin that is both versatile and reliable.

One of the key advantages of TASK 9 is its ability to be colored using SO-Strong or IGNITE colorants, making it easy to achieve precise color matches. The resin's clear amber color ensures that the final product is always accurate and consistent. Additionally, TASK 9 is suitable for casting in thicknesses up to ½” (1.27 cm), making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.

When working with TASK 9, it is essential to follow proper mixing and casting procedures to ensure optimal results. This includes storing and using the resin in a warm environment (73°F/23°C) and ensuring that all materials are clean and free of contaminants. By following these guidelines, you can achieve high-quality castings that meet your specific requirements.

TASK 9 is also designed for use with silicone rubber molds, which do not require a release agent. However, applying a release agent will prolong the life of the mold. Additionally, a release agent is necessary when casting into urethane rubber molds. The product should be mixed thoroughly and deliberately, scraping the sides and bottom of the mixing container to ensure a uniform mixture.

The cured castings produced with TASK 9 are rigid, durable, and resistant to moisture, moderate heat, solvents, and dilute acids. They can be machined, primed, and painted, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, TASK 9 castings can be displayed outdoors after priming and painting, making them an excellent choice for outdoor applications.

Whether you are a professional mold maker, prototype designer, or DIY enthusiast, the Smooth-On Task 9 is an excellent choice for creating high-quality castings with precision and consistency. With its exceptional strength, durability, and ease of use, this resin is an excellent addition to any workshop or studio.
