PT Flex Liquid Casting Rubbers
PT Flex Series liquid rubbers are polyurethane casting rubbers specifically designed for making prototypes as well as functional rubber parts. Unlike many other Polytek® polyurethane rubber products, these castable rubbers are low in viscosity and are fast-setting so they can be demolded rapidly.
These rubbers are commonly used in Prototyping, Prop Making, Industrial, Theming & Display, Model Making and Craft & Hobby applications.
PT Flex rubbers can be cast in PlatSil® silicone molds without any release agent and can be cast in polyurethane rubber molds, polyurethane plastic molds and latex molds with the proper release agent (e.g., Pol-Ease® 2300 Release Agent).
NOTE: New & Improved PT Flex Casting Rubbers no longer contain mercury. DO NOT mix “New & Improved” PT Flex rubbers with previous versions of PT Flex rubbers.

Color Dyes | PolyColor Dyes can be used to color PT Flex Series rubbers. They are available in Black, Brown, Blue, Green, Red, Yellow, and White and Fleshtone Pigments. |
Softener | Add Poly 74/75 Part C Softener to PT Flex products for a lower-viscosity mix and a softer rubber. |
Accelerator | Add Poly 74/75 Part X Accelerator to PT Flex products to accelerate the cure. This will also reduce the pour time. |
Thickeners | Use PolyFiber II or Fumed Silica to thicken the liquid mix for application by brush or trowel. |
UV Stabilizer | Use UV additive to help reduce the characteristic surface degradation caused by sunlight. |
Product Life Extender | Use PolyPurge Aerosol Dry Gas to extend product life by spraying it into containers before resealing. |
