SILISIL RTV MF-Dura 30 is a room temperature vulcanizing 2-component addition silicone (platinum crosslinking, RTV-2) of the MF-Dura series — the standard solution for precise mold making with fine details, strong undercuts and long mold life.
The low mixing viscosity of 5,000 mPa·s allows the silicone to flow into even the finest structures without air inclusions. A Shore A hardness of 30 makes the mold flexible enough for complex undercuts, while a tensile strength of >5 N/mm² and an elongation at break of 450% ensure hundreds of molds with consistent dimensional accuracy—proven in jewelry, art, and concrete construction.
Addition crosslinking (platinum system) with a mixing ratio of 1:1 by weight — low shrinkage, without degradation products, temperature resistant from −40 °C to +200 °C.

Frequently asked questions about SILISIL RTV MF-Dura 30
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
SILISIL RTV MF-Dura 30 is a two-component (Shore A 30) additive silicone for demanding mold making. It is particularly suitable for models with significant undercuts, jewelry reproductions, resin casting, and concrete and stone molds. Its low viscosity of 5,000 mPa·s ensures highly detailed reproduction of even the finest structures.
At 23 °C, the pot life is approximately 50 minutes, the demolding time approximately 4 hours, and full curing is achieved after 24 hours. Lower temperatures significantly extend all three values, while higher temperatures shorten them. For reproducible results, SILITECH recommends processing at controlled room temperature.
As an addition system, MF-Dura 30 is sensitive to crosslinking inhibitors: sulfur, amine, tin, and phosphorus compounds can locally halt vulcanization. Avoid latex gloves, sulfur-containing modeling clays, some adhesive tapes, and PVC plasticizers in the immediate vicinity of the mold. If in doubt, make a small test cast before molding the original model.
SILISIL RTV MF-Dura 30 is mixed in a 1:1 ratio by weight (base to catalyst), with a maximum tolerance of ±5%. Homogenize both components separately before mixing, then thoroughly incorporate them – including the container walls and bottom. Brief vacuum degassing of the mixture is recommended for non-porous molds.
SILISIL RTV MF-Dura 30 achieves a Shore A hardness of 30 (ASTM D 2240), a tensile strength >5 N/mm² (ASTM D 412), an elongation at break of approximately 450%, and a tensile strength of 15 N/mm (ASTM D 624). This combination is suitable for serial molding with abrasive casting materials such as polyester or epoxy resin.
For standard mold making with fine details and undercuts, MF-Dura 30 the first choice (Shore A 30, pot life 50 min). MF-Dura 32 offers similar properties with a shorter pot life for series production. MF-Dura 35 is translucent (for visible casting) and slightly harder. MF-Dura 40 offers the highest hardness for heavily stressed series molds.
