This platinum-catalyzed silicone putty is developed for the special effects makeup, prosthetics, and body art industries, where safety, extreme softness, and lifelike realism are paramount. Unlike tin-based alternatives, this addition-cure putty produces no chemical by-products during vulcanization, making it suitable for prolonged direct contact with the skin and sensitive areas of the body.
The two-part putty is supplied as equal-weight soft pastes that blend effortlessly to a uniform, translucent mass. It can be tinted with cosmetic-grade pigments, flocking, or makeup to match skin tones or create fantasy colors before application. Working time is a comfortable five to seven minutes, allowing the artist to apply, sculpt, and blend the putty directly onto the skin or into pre-made molds to form wounds, scars, facial prosthetics, and fantasy ear tips. The material self-adheres to clean, primed skin without the need for additional adhesives in many cases.
Upon curing, which occurs within about fifteen minutes, the silicone reaches a Shore A hardness below 3 (essentially Shore 00 in the 20–30 range), giving it an almost gel-like softness that moves and stretches with the skin. This ultra-low modulus ensures that finished appliances flex with facial expressions and body movement without peeling at the edges, significantly enhancing on-camera realism. The putty’s elastic recovery is excellent, meaning prosthetic pieces can be worn, removed, and stored for reuse multiple times.
This silicone is formulated to be non-cytotoxic and skin-safe, meeting the high standards required by professional makeup artists and medical moulage technicians. Its non-oily surface accepts sealer, paint, and powder without beading, allowing complete cosmetic finishing. For film, theater, cosplay, or medical simulation purposes, this ultra-soft platinum silicone putty offers an unmatched combination of safety, workability, and stunningly realistic results.
