Premium Skin-Friendly Platinum Silicone for Professional SFX and Medical Applications

CHT True Skin 30 is a 2-component, addition-curing (platinum-cure) liquid silicone elastomer with a Shore A 30 hardness, specially developed for skin replication, prosthetics, and special effects applications. This professional silicone combines extreme elasticity (1000%), translucent color for easy pigmentation, and FDA compliance (21CFR 177.2600) with a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +204°C. Easy 1:1 mixing ratio, curing at room temperature or accelerated with heat.

Key Benefits

• Extreme elasticity: 1000% elongation at break (ISO 37) for realistic skin movements and durable prosthetics
• Translucent for perfect pigmentation: Transparent base for accurate skin tones and color mixing in SFX and bodycasting
• FDA compliant: Meets 21CFR 177.2600 for indirect food-safe contact and skin-friendly applications
• Wide operating temperature: Stable from -55°C to +204°C for demanding industrial and medical environments
• Minimal shrinkage: <0.1% linear shrinkage for dimensionally accurate molds and prosthetics
• Adjustable cure speed: 20-minute pot life at 23°C, accelerated with heat for production efficiency

Typical Applications

• Special effects (SFX) and animatronics: realistic skin textures for film, TV, and theater
• Prosthetics and medical simulation: anatomically correct models and training phantoms
• Bodycasting and skin replication for artists and medical applications
• Masks and cosplay materials with high detail fidelity
• Robotics and animatronics where flexible, skin-like covering is required
• Culinary molds and food-safe applications (FDA compliant)

Processing Instructions:

1. Stir both components A and B thoroughly before use (filler settling)
2. Mix A and B in a 1:1 ratio by weight in a clean container (3x the volume)
3. Mix until color is uniform
4. Preferably degas: 30-50 mbar intermittently, 5-10 minutes
5. Pour by gravity or pressure injection within the 20-minute pot life
6. Allow to cure for 6-8 hours at 23°C, or accelerate with heat

Inhibition Warning: Curing can be inhibited by nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, arsenic, organotin catalysts, epoxy resin catalysts, condensation silicones, modeling clay, sulfur-cured rubbers, onion, and garlic. Use clean tools only.
