Product Description
Soma Foama™ 25
Soma Foama™ is a soft, two-component platinum silicone flexible foam that is versatile and easy to use. Soma Foama™ 25 is a higher density foam vs. original Soma Foama™ 15 which expands 2-3 times its original volume and develops a uniform 25 lb./cu. ft. cell structure (400 kg/m³). Vibrant colors can be achieved by adding Silc-Pig™ silicone color pigments. Cured foam is high heat resistance (will resist up to 350°F/176°C), water resistant, UV resistant and resists oxidation and ozone degradation.
FOAM-iT!™ 15
Smooth-On’s FOAM-iT!™ Series are two-component water blown rigid foams that are versatile and easy to use. FOAM-iT!™ products are available in 3lb., 4 lb., 5 lb., 8 lb., 10 lb.,15 lb. or 26 lb. per cubic foot densities. Parts A and B are measured and mixed in equal amounts by volume. The mixture is then poured into a mold or other form (apply release agent if necessary). The mixture will expand many times original volume (depending on which FOAM-iT!™ product you are using) and develop a uniform cell structure. FOAM-IT!™ 15 is tack-free in about 4 - 6.5 minutes, developing handling strength in 20 minutes and full cure in 2 hours.
All FOAM-iT!™ products can be used as a straight casting material, backfill material for hollow castings (adds structural strength) or as an encapsulation material, etc. They can be color pigmented with SO-Strong™, UVO™ or IGNITE™ colorants and are used for a variety of art/ craft, industrial design and special effects applications.
