Silgum HF is a high-tear-strength RTV silicone rubber that cures at room temperature or with mild heat using a 2 % catalyst. It produces extra-flexible moulds (elongation up to 500 %), with very low linear shrinkage (0.1 %) and excellent under-cut release, capturing the finest details for model making, restoration, fine arts, decoration and light engineering.
