When it comes to our tin cure RTV-2 silicone for mold making, we offer three fantastic grades: T-Pro series, T-Flow series, and others. Let’s dive into the differences between these options and see which one floats your boat!
First up, we have the T-Pro series, which is our super strong strength grade. If you need a silicone that can withstand some serious pressure, this is the one for you. It’s like the Hulk of silicone – incredibly tough and robust. Your molds will be able to handle even the most demanding casting materials without breaking a sweat.
Next in line is the T-Flow series, our high-strength grade. While not as mighty as the T-Pro series, it still packs quite a punch. This silicone is perfect for molds that require a balance between strength and flexibility. It flows smoothly and effortlessly into every nook and cranny, ensuring precise detail reproduction.
Now, let’s talk about the other grades in comparison to these powerhouses. While they may not have their own fancy series name, they still deserve some recognition. These economical grade RTV-6 series silicons are an excellent choice for those on a budget or for less demanding applications. They offer decent strength and durability without breaking the bank.
So, whether you need superhero-level strength with our T-Pro series, a balanced performance with our T-Flow series, or an economical option with our RTV-6 series, we’ve got you covered. Choose the grade that suits your needs and get ready to create molds with confidence!
Happy mold making!

Mold Making Materials COMPARISON
Tin cure silicone VS. Platinum cure silicone
Type |
Advantages |
Disadvantages |
Casting materials |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Tin-Cured Silicone
|
High strength, Cost-effective
|
Shrinks on cure (~0.3%), Cured rubber has limited storage life, Not food-grade
|
Most materials, especially resins, foams, plaster, wax, concrete etc.
|
|
Platinum-Cured Silicone
|
No shrink on cure, Cured rubber has long storage life, Excellent chemical resistance, Food-grade skin safe, 1:1 simple mix
|
Cure inhibited by some materials, a slight expensive than tin cure silicone
|
Most materials, especially resins, foams, plaster, wax, concrete etc. and some low-melt metals and food grade products mould.
