| SIL GEL™ (318) |
|
| A crystal clear extremely soft, optical quality suspension gel
curing rapidly at room temperature to a tacky surface for cast shapes with a mechanical
bond to membrane surfaces. |
| Cured castings retain a resilient shape with tactile sensitivity for
orthotic-prosthetic appliances. Diverse industrial-medical and special effects
applications enable rapid production of high elongation, flexible-rebondable components
with exceptional clarity. |
| Poured objects and devices are easily encapsulated with a micro-thin
elastic membrane for enveloped-skinned/gel filled appliances such as animatronic-robotic
figures and gel filled appliances. |
| From Aerospace to Hollywood effects, SIL GEL™ demonstrates
successful applications for a wide array of functional uses. |
|
