The fast curing mechanism of the platinum catalyst means that thicker section parts can be cured in a faster time at the same moulding temperatures as the usual peroxide system. For thicker section parts these can be cured at lower temperatures.

The platinum cure systems also produce no peroxide residues, which enables the components to be used in food and medical applications. This cure system results in a material with good hot tear strength, which is useful for de-moulding parts with complex geometries and undercuts. Platinum cured materials are more sensitive to catalyst poisons than peroxides. We provide the 3 component system and formulation guide to increase the shelf life of mixed compound.
