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.
VytaFlex™ 20
Using Smooth-On’s exclusive “V-Polymer™” technology, VytaFlex™ urethane rubbers offer superior physical and performance properties for casting concrete. VytaFlex™ urethanes are available in 10A, 20A, 30A, 40A, 45A, 50A and 60A Shore hardness’s and feature convenient one-to-one by volume mix ratios.
Vacuum degassing is not necessary and VytaFlex™ rubbers cure with negligible shrinkage to a durable rubber that will last in production.
VytaFlex™ mold rubbers work especially well for casting pigmented / colored concrete. Molds made with VytaFlex™ Series urethanes will render accurate and uniform colored castings.
