Addition-Cured Silicone

Addition-cured silicone is a type of silicone material that hardens through a chemical reaction called addition curing, involving a silicon hydride and a vinyl group. When mixed with a catalyst, these components react to form a durable, flexible rubber without releasing by-products like odors or shrinkage. This process creates precise, high-quality molds and prototypes used in industries like arts, dentistry, and manufacturing. Addition-cured silicone is valued for its stability, biocompatibility, and excellent detail reproduction, making it a reliable choice for applications requiring high accuracy and longevity.
