Premium Silicone Accelerator for Professional Applications
PlatSil® 71/73 Part X Accelerator is a platinum-compatible accelerator from Polytek Development Corp., specially developed for use with the entire PlatSil® 71- and 73-series silicone rubbers. By adding Part X, the pour time and demould time are significantly reduced, without compromising the final quality of the cured rubber.
Key Benefits
- Certified skin safe: Polytek has this product independently assessed as skin safe, in accordance with FHSA (16 CFR 1500), LHAMA (16 CFR 1500.14), ASTM D4236 and Sections 201(s) and 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
- Faster turnaround time: 1% addition reduces pour time to ~1/3 of the normal time; 2% to ~1/4 and 3% to ~1/6.
- Flexible dosage: Precisely adjustable based on desired processing time and production rhythm.
- Broad applicability: Compatible with all PlatSil® 71- and 73-series products (Shore A10 to A60).
- No negative effect on final quality: Cured properties such as hardness and tear strength are maintained.
- Easy to process: Add to Part B before mixing with Part A; no adjustment of mixing ratio needed.
Typical Applications
- High-volume mould production where rapid demoulding is required
- Prototyping and iterative design: multiple casting cycles per day
- SFX and prosthetics: rapid on-site production of silicone parts
- Industrial casting with tight delivery times
- Brush-on moulds where rapid gelling per layer is desired
- Education and workshops: shorter waiting times between steps
Technical Characteristics
Add to Part B before mixing with Part A. Maximum dosage: 3% of the total mixed weight (A+B). Exceeding this may prevent the system from fully curing. Always test on a small scale before larger mixtures. Not suitable for use with PlatSil 73-20 (fast-curing system).
Produced by Polytek Development Corp. (Easton, PA, USA) – specialist in professional casting and moulding materials for industry, art, and manufacturing.
