- Application Details
Due to its resistance to all common reproduction materials. e.g. casting resins, concrete, plaster, as well as the mechanical properties, ELASTOSIL® VARIO 15 is especially suitable for all molds. As a low Shore A addition silicone rubber that cures without undergoing dimensional shrinkage, ELASTOSIL® VARIO 15 is also suitable if absolutely accurate copies of models are required.
