Description
PlatSil® Gel-10 is a premium silicone system favored by leading prosthetic technicians and used in numerous acclaimed films like The Iron Lady, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings. It provides realistic, flesh-like results and is easy to use with its neutral translucent color, which can be tinted with skin pigments to achieve natural skin tones and movement.
PlatSil Gel-10 is cost-effective and delivers impressive makeup results. The system uses a 1A:1B mix ratio (by weight or volume) and features a 6-minute working time with a 30-minute demold time. It cures to a Shore A10 hardness. For prosthetic parts, Smith's Deadener should be added to achieve a gel-like consistency.
Applications include mold making and prosthetic appliances. Various accessory products are available to adjust working time, cure speed, and mix consistency. These include:
- PlatSil® 71R Retarder: Slows the cure time.
- PlatSil® 71/73X Accelerator: Speeds up the cure time.
- PlatThix: Thickens the mix for brushing or layering.
- Smith's Deadener: Softens and eliminates the synthetic look and feel.
PlatSil Gels bond well to poly plastics, making them versatile for various applications.
