Silicone Shore 15 is a high-quality silicone rubber which cures at room temperature after mixing with hardener. Suitable for casting candles, chocolate, model making, technical products, chess pieces, etc. This silicone rubber can easily be made into brushable or spatterable silicone by adding a few percent silicone thickener. Silicone cast rubber 1:10 is also available in a rigid variant (Shore 40).

- Tear resistant, malleable and elastic.
- Long service life.
- Produces razor-sharp products.
- Highly resistant to polyester casting resins, polyurethane casting resins, plaster, concrete, etc.
