Silicone Rubber - Platinum Cure ›

Also known as addition-cure silicone mold rubber, platinums exhibit the lowest long-term shrinkage and have the longest library
life of all mold rubbers (with a price tag to match). While good for making molds for casting a variety of materials, platinums also
have application and physical properties that other rubbers do not. As a result, they are used for other applications. For example,
