What is PlatSil Gel-10?
PlatSil Gel-10 is a soft, translucent platinum-cure silicone rubber with a Shore A10 hardness. It is firm enough to hold its shape yet pliable enough to feel like real skin on the face or body. You mix Part A and Part B in a 1:1 ratio by weight or volume, giving you six minutes of working time before it begins to cure.
Adding Smiths Prosthetic Deadener to Part A before mixing makes the cured piece even softer and more flexible - ideal for prosthetics on high-movement areas such as the neck, mouth or eyelids.
Why choose PlatSil Gel-10?
- Industry standard in film and theatre productions worldwide
- Shore A10 hardness: feels and moves like real skin
- Simple 1:1 mix ratio by weight or volume
- Softenable with Deadener up to 300% for ultra-realistic results
- 6-minute working time, demould after 30-60 minutes
How to use PlatSil Gel-10
- Add silicone pigment to Part B before combining with Part A. This preserves your full working time for even colour distribution while keeping cure rates consistent.
- Using Deadener for skin-like flexibility? Add the Deadener to Part A first, then combine both parts. Up to 300% Deadener is possible; higher amounts will extend cure time.
- Mix Part A and Part B in a 1:1 ratio by weight or volume until fully homogeneous.
- Pour or apply into your mould or onto the skin within the 6-minute working window.
- Wait 30-60 minutes before demoulding or removing.
