Premium Platinum Silicone for Professional Applications
PlatSil Gel-0020 is an ultra-soft, skin-safe platinum-cure silicone from Polytek Development Corp, specially developed for applications requiring extreme softness and high elasticity. With a Shore 00-20 hardness, this two-component system offers exceptional flexibility and a realistic skin-like texture – ideal for professional prosthetics, SFX, and life casting.
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.
- Ultra-soft texture (Shore 00-20): Provides an extremely realistic, skin-like touch for prosthetics and SFX effects.
- Platinum-cure system: No shrinkage upon curing, high chemical stability, and long lifespan.
- High elasticity: Excellent elongation for thin prosthetic edges and complex geometries without tearing.
