VytaFlex(TM) Series
To address issues of color pigmenting
concrete at various accounts, we introduced "extra dry" formulas
incorporating our
exclusive "V-Polymer" technology. Concrete casters report that the VytaFlex molds
pictured here still going strong with no signs of shrinkage and no
interference with color pigmenting of the concrete after more than a year!
Customers that use "In& Out II" water
soluable release agent report that it works as well in releasing castings
from VytaFlex molds as it does from any surface. They also report that, over
a year of side-by-side testing, VytaFlex rubbers gave an improved surface
finish on their concrete castings.
VytaFlex rubbers are mixed 1A:1B by
volume, feature low viscosities and exceptional physical properties (equal
to or better than their ReoFlex counterparts.) VytaFlex Shore 20A is
formulated as clear amber for accurate color pigmenting and special f/x

good abrasion resistance and longevity for production casting of harder plasters
(ultra-cal, hydra-cal) and concrete.
BRUSH-ON
50 "Brushable" Mold
Compound
BRUSH-ON 50
was developed to offer superior tear strength and abrasion resistance. It offers a
convenient one-to-one mix ratio by volume and gives the user ample working time to apply
the material - in the studio or right on the work site.
With a creamy consistency, Brush-On 50 paints on easily to vertical
surfaces. It will cure with negligible shrinkage to a durable rubber and will stand
up to repeated casting of abrasive materials like concrete. BRUSH-ON

Polysulfide
Rubbers (Smooth-on FMC Series)
Polysulfide rubbers are quite
versatile and are especially useful for casting plaster, Hydrocal, and
other water mixed cements. They also find use for casting wax candles and
some limited use for resin casting. They are easy to handle, non-adhesive
and can be poured over clay or practically any type of model or pattern,
using very simple release agents such as soap or vaseline. They can be
used to take impressions directly from a water clay or plastelene model so
that permanent master models can then be cast in plaster or Hydrocal.
The Smooth-on FMC flexible mold compounds are two-component polysulfide
systems. The base compound (Part A) is mixed with the curing agent (Part
B) just prior to application. Curing takes place with negligible shrinkage
at room temperature producing molds suitable for casting gypsum plasters
and cements and resin formulations that set with low exotherm.
Hardness and flexibility vary according to the specific product
selected. Working time and setting time depend upon the curing agent used
- fast, standard or slow.
Ideal for a variety of industrial and art related projects. Available in a range of
Shore A hardnesses from a sponge-like "00" to a harder-than-a-car-tire 90A. Good
for making both pourable and brush-on molds, these products are easy to use (many are
mixed 1:1 by volume - no scale necessary) and will last/perform in production.
