Explore the limitless possibilities of mold-making with Smooth-On's Mold Max™ 27t, a premium silicone rubber compound that offers exceptional tear strength and working properties. This water-white, translucent tin-cured silicone rubber features Smooth-On's innovative "Libra™" catalyst, ensuring long library life and minimal maintenance. With its unique properties, Mold Max™ 27t is an ideal choice for creating intricate, high-detail molds with exceptional durability.

Mold Max™ 27t can be thickened with Thi-Vex™ thickener for brush-on application, allowing for unparalleled flexibility in your mold-making process. The outcome is a highly detailed, robust mold that can withstand the demands of repeated casting. Furthermore, an infinite number of color effects can be achieved by adding Silc Pig™ silicone pigments or Cast Magic™ effects powders, giving you unmatched creative freedom.

To ensure optimal results, it is essential to weigh Part A and Part B components using a gram scale, as even minor variations can affect the performance of the rubber. Vacuum degassing is also recommended to eliminate entrapped air in the liquid rubber, resulting in a bubble-free, precision mold. For best results, pour the mixture in a single spot, allowing the rubber to seek its level and minimize entrapped air.

Post-curing the mold for an additional four hours at 150°F (65°C) eliminates any residual moisture and alcohol that may inhibit the cure of some urethane resins and rubbers. This crucial step ensures that your mold is fully cured and ready for use.

Mold Max™ 27t is particularly well-suited for creating animatronic skin effects, offering a cost-effective alternative to premium Dragon Skin™ platinum silicones. Its exceptional tear strength and working properties make it an ideal choice for demanding applications where detail and durability are paramount.

For added convenience, Accel-T™ Silicone Rubber Accelerator can be used to accelerate the cure time of Mold Max™ 27t, reducing working time in proportion to the amount of Accel-T™ added. Additionally, Silicone Thinner™ can be used to lower the mixed viscosity of the rubber, improving flow and de-airing characteristics.

By investing in Mold Max™ 27t, you can unlock new possibilities in mold-making, enjoying unparalleled flexibility, durability, and creative freedom. With its unique properties and versatility, this premium silicone rubber compound is poised to revolutionize your approach to mold-making, empowering you to push the boundaries of innovation and artistic expression.
