Data sheets
ELASTOSIL® M 4440 is a general-purpose mold-making material suitable for casting resins, wax, gyp-sum, etc.
ELASTOSIL® M 4440 is preferred when no or only minor undercuts are involved and a certain inherent stability of the mold is required.
ELASTOSIL® M 4440 is cured by adding Catalyst T 37 for long pot lives and curing times, and Catalyst T 40 for short pot lives and curing times.
The pot life is the period of time at 23 °C / 50 % rel. humidity during which the catalyzed mix to attain a viscosity of 100,000 mPa s and still be just pourable
Comprehensive instructions are given in our leaflet “ROOM TEMPERATURE VULCANIZING (RTV) SILICONES - Material and Processing Guidelines"
Detailed information on other mold-making compounds in the ELASTOSIL ® M range is contained in our brochure “ELASTOSIL® Silicone Rubber for Mold Making”.
Storage
The 'Best use before end' date of each batch is shown on the product label.
