Art Foundry


Due to their high strength and flexibility, these mold making silicone rubbers are especially useful in art foundry applications such as in lost wax casting of sculpture.

Silastic® 3481 and 3483 (in Europe and in Asia) and Dow Corning® HS II and HS III (in the US) are recommended for this application because of their high strength and their flexibility.

Product Selection

Selecting the right moldmaking material is often a difficult task. Nature, complexity and selected material for the replicas must be taken into account. Information in the Product Finder will help guide your selection. The final decision on products and additives can often be made only after practical tests.
