Platinum Cure Silicone
Platinum cure silicone (also known as addition cure silicone) is a premium-grade silicone formulated using a platinum catalyst. Unlike traditional options, its curing process produces zero toxic byproducts and zero odor, delivering unmatched safety, durability, and performance for both industrial and consumer applications.
Why Choose Platinum Silicone?
- Zero Shrinkage & High Precision: Displays virtually 0% dimensional shrinkage after curing. Captures micron-level details and maintains its exact shape for decades.
- Food & Medical Grade Safety (FDA Compliant): Non-toxic and completely odorless. Safe for food-contact items, chocolate molds, baby products, and medical devices.
- Exceptional Durability: Highly resistant to tearing, yellowing, or becoming brittle over time. Keeps its flexibility throughout its lifespan.
- Broad Temperature Resistance: Performs reliably across extreme temperatures (-60°C to +230°C / -76°F to +446°F), making it safe for ovens, microwaves, and freezers.
Key Applications
- Kitchenware & Food: Baking mats, chocolate and ice molds, reusable food storage containers.
- Healthcare & Baby Care: Baby bottle nipples, teethers, medical tubing, and prosthetics.
- Art & Casting: Epoxy resin molds, candle/soap molds, high-detail sculptures.
- Industrial & Automotive: High-performance gaskets, seals, and electronic encapsulation.
Important Usage Note (Cure Inhibition)
While platinum silicone offers superior quality, it is sensitive during the curing phase. Avoid direct contact with sulfur-based clays, latex gloves, amines, or uncured UV resins, as these materials can cause cure inhibition, leaving the surface sticky.
