Polytek Poly Latex 60 ™ Liquid Mold Rubber
New, Improved Poly-Latex 60™ Natural Latex Mold Making Compound For Brush-On Molds
Lorino then builds a rigid polyester and fiberglass mold shell over the latex mold to maintain the shape of the mold during casting. Poly 15-6 and Poly Fiber, or Polygell® Plastic-75 should also be considered for this application. The end result is a lightweight, high tear strength mold with good resistance to the swelling caused by polyester resin. Poly Latex 60™ molds allow Capitol Displays to produce detailed parts with undercuts that would be impossible with rigid molds. |

DESCRIPTION:
Poly Latex 60™ is a one-part, brush-on liquid with no mixing or weighing needed. Multiple coats and drying between each coat, is needed until mold is built up to 1/16th inch to 1/8th inch thick. This forms a tough rubber blanket mold, often used for casting plaster, concrete, and limited casting with some resins. Poly Latex 60™ has better tear strength than synthetic rubbers and is sometimes preferred for molds. This material can be peeled off the casting like a sock, making it easier to remove from highly detailed or delicate castings.
