Cold Cast Elastomers
Cold Cast Elastomers
(OP)
I'm looking for a material similar to Natural Rubber Latex, that can be poured in a mold and cure at room temperature.
The part to be molded is a very thin cylindrical membrane that is than twisted in its final shape.
See picture below of the shape as molded. Dimensions are in mm.
Any suggestions for such material and where to purchase it?
Thanks

RE: Cold Cast Elastomers
Your part seems very similar to a condom but with two open ends. Is it now made by latex dipping?

RE: Cold Cast Elastomers
The final product will probably be injection molded or dip molded. LSR could be a good option but for my application I think TPE/TPU material will work better.
As an intermediate solution, perhaps some other liquid rubber coating, as you suggested may work to make parts to correct dimensions.
Thanks
