Polygel® Series Mold Rubbers
Polygel® Series mold rubbers are designed for brush-on and spray-on blanket molds as they self-thicken to a thixotropic consistency when low viscosity Parts A & B are mixed together. These room-temperature curing rubbers are non-sag and therefore especially useful for application on vertical or overhead surfaces.
The brush-on Polygel® option is more suitable for smaller-scale projects while sprayable Polygel® options are more often used for larger-scale projects (e.g., monumental sculpture reproduction).
Common applications include Sculpture & Foundry, Concrete Casting, Architectural Reproduction & Restoration, Millwork & Ornamentation, and Theming & Display.
NOTE ON FOUNDRY WAXES: Certain foundry waxes can cause excessive oiling in Polygel® rubbers; this is the case when liquid Polygel® is applied to the foundry wax and when the foundry wax is poured into cured Polygel® molds. Perform a small test cure to ensure compatibility.

| Polygel® 35 Brush-On Rubber | Polygel® 35 is a Shore A35, 1A:1B mix, self-thickening polyurethane liquid mold rubber designed for making thin, stretchy brushed molds. This product has a 10 to 15-minute working time and a 16-hour demold time. |
| Popular Mold Shell Materials | Thin blanket molds should be backed with rigid, supportive mold shells. Poly 1512X Liquid Plastic with PolyFiber II is a popular option for this. |
*All polyurethane mold rubbers can be made “brushable” with the addition of a thickening agent, such as PolyFiber II.
Sprayable Polygel® rubbers are ideal for large surface area applications where brushing is impractical. Sprayable systems can be applied using a low-cost, portable PlasPak gun and cartridges or with higher output spray systems.
