The base pairs with CAT-1310 catalyst at a 100:10 ratio by weight. Once cured, it offers high tensile and tear strength, low shrinkage, and easy release, which makes it a fit for molds that need to hold detail through repeated casting cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere This Translucent Mold Silicone Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKE-1310ST suits complex molds used with epoxy and urethane casting resins. Its translucent body lets a fabricator see a master through the mold when planning split lines or checking fill around detailed geometry. A Shore A hardness near 40 combined with 380 percent elongation gives the mold enough body to hold shape while still flexing during demolding. Low shrinkage supports dimensional consistency when reproducing patterns, prototypes, decorative parts, tooling details, and production components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed mold making for epoxy and urethane casting resins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototype and pattern reproduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative part and tooling detail molds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction component molds needing repeat-pour consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelected potting projects that call for a firm, flexible silicone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTranslucent Mold Silicone Mixing and Processing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure base and CAT-1310 by weight, then mix thoroughly while scraping the sides and bottom of the vessel. The uncured base runs at 75 Pa s (75,000 cP), so vacuum deaeration is recommended before pouring over the prepared master. Addition-cure silicones can be inhibited by certain contaminants on masters, tooling, or nearby materials, so run a small compatibility test when the surface history is unknown and confirm any release agent does not interfere with cure. Working time is about 2 hours at room temperature, with cure at approximately 24 hours at 23 C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePhysical Properties\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCure chemistry: Addition cure, two-component\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Translucent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalyst: CAT-1310\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMix ratio by weight: 100:10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase viscosity: 75 Pa s (75,000 cP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDensity at 23 C: 1.07 g\/cm3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShore A hardness: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTensile strength: 5.9 MPa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTear strength: 23 kN\/m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElongation: 380 percent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsable temperature range: -40 F to 347 F (-40 C to 175 C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSurface Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKE-1310ST is poured against a master pattern rather than bonded as an adhesive.
