This two-part platinum-catalyzed liquid silicone is specifically designed to produce the ultra-soft, slow-rising tactile experience that makes squishy toys so popular. Unlike standard mold-making silicones, this formulation cures to an extremely low hardness that allows the finished piece to compress fully in the hand and then gradually regain its original shape, delivering that satisfying sensory feedback that consumers love.
The mixed system is easy to process, featuring a thin viscosity that readily captures micro-details—from simulated whipped cream peaks to miniature animal fur textures—without trapping air. It offers a workable pot life of approximately 30 to 50 minutes at room temperature, giving toy manufacturers enough time to fill multi-cavity molds. Curing is accelerated by mild heat (60–100°C), but room-temperature vulcanization is fully supported for smaller workshops.
Once cured, the silicone achieves a Shore 00 hardness below 15 (or Shore A 0), making it exceptionally squishable. Its slow rebound property is intrinsic to the formulation; no plasticizers or softening oils are added that could leach out over time. This ensures the toy retains its softness and dimensional stability throughout its lifespan. The material is odorless and tasteless, with all components meeting FDA and EN 71-3 toy safety standards for heavy metal migration, making it suitable for products targeted at children and collectible markets.
This squishy silicone is pigment-friendly, accepting both liquid and paste colorants to create vibrant, custom colorways. It can be painted with silicone-based inks for decorative detailing. The non-sticky, silky surface feel of the cured rubber enhances the tactile experience and prevents lint attraction. For brands seeking to manufacture stress-relief toys, novelty keychains, decorative cake toppers, and other slow-rise items, this platinum silicone offers a dependable, scalable, and fully compliant solution from prototype to mass production.
