 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.
