SILICONE ADDITIVES

Silicone Thinner

Is a non reactive silicone fluid that will lower the mixed viscosity of both condensation & addition cured silicones.

Thi Vex

Thi Vex is a thixotropic agent and will thicken silicones to allow them to be applied to vertical surfaces with out slumping.

Silc Pig

Designed especially for use with silicones this range of pigments allow amazing effects when colouring silicones such as Dragon Skin and Sorta Clear.

Sil-Poxy

Sil Poxy is an adhesive for sticking silicone to itself and other substrates. It is a one component adhesive which can be used with either tin or platinum cure silicones. Easy to apply, a working time of about 5 minutes and the bonded parts can be handled in less than an hour.

Slacker

Slacker is one component translucent clear fluid that is added "by volume" to our translucent platinum-cure silicones such as Dragon Skin and Ecoflex products. Slacker will change the "feel" of the silicone rubber to a softer and more "flesh-like" material. It also alters the rebound properties of the silicone, making it feel more like human tissue.

Slacker allows the user to vary the degree of tackiness to the cured silicone, allowing for the creation of self-sticking silicone appliances. The amount of tackiness is in direct proportion to the amount of slacker added. Pieces created with Slacker will not exude silicone oil, eliminating a common problem with other softening methods.

Slacker can be added in larger proportions to Smooth-On's super soft and stretchy platinum silicones (for example, Ecoflex 00-30) to make silicone gel that can be used to create gel-filled silicone prosthetic appliances. Gel-filled appliances will flex, bend, and even wrinkle like human flesh. Silicone gels created with Slacker can also be used to create cushioning materials for medical applications (anaplastology).
