Product Description
GI-1040 is a condensation cure RTV-2 Silicone Rubber with a Shore A hardness of 40, making it well suited for the rigors of casting polyurethane foam parts. It has high tear and tensile strength with moderate elongation. This combination of high hardness and tear helps to eliminate any distortion due to expansion of the polyurethane foam. It is also excellent for casting non-rising urethanes, polyesters and epoxies where a free standing mold that can maintain a straight edge is desired.
