Smooth-On Rubber FAQs

Reinforced Plastics supplies Smooth-On Rubber to customers. In order to help those looking to purchase, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions, which can be seen below.

What is the shelf life of my material?

The shelf life of any Smooth-On material refers to how long it can sit on a shelf before it begins to lose its ability to function normally or not be usable at all. This shelf life for Smooth-On rubber is for when the material is either unopened or after opening. The shelf life of a material varies depending on chemistry and variables like exposure to heat or air after its opening.

What does 'Shore Hardness' mean?

The use of Smooth-On rubber also comes with shore hardness, which is a measure of the resistance a material has to indentation. There are different Shore Hardness scales for measuring the hardness of different materials, such as soft rubbers, rigid plastics, and supersoft gels. Shore Hardness scales were created so that people can discuss these materials and have a common point of reference. Making it easier to complete projects and use the material and becomes an important factor when considering which mold Smooth-On rubber you should choose for making a mold of your original.

Is there an easy way to test if a product is working properly?

One way to make sure the smooth-on rubber is performing properly is by performing a cup test. There are many different variables that can affect how a material performs and the outcome for your project. Proper mixing of Parts A and B, surface contaminants, using the right release agent in the right amount and humidity are just a few aspects that can change and impact the end result.

Eliminating all variables and performing a small-scale test by mixing just Part A and Part B is a good way to start to ensure the Smooth-on Rubber is performing properly.  This is called the "the cup test, which simply involves mixing Part A and Part B as directed, pouring the material into a disposable polyethylene cup and observing what happens in the end. If the material cures as expected in the cup, then you can conclude that there is something affecting the material and interfering with the cure when poured or brushed over a surface, into a mold, etc.

Is Smooth-On Rubber safe to use?

Smooth-On rubber materials should be handled with the same care you use when handling household cleaning products. Meaning it is important to follow the directions carefully. Not respecting these chemicals and exercising caution when using them can result in a trip to the hospital. For the safest conditions, do not use these materials in the home. Use them in the garage or at a dedicated workshop that has proper ventilation. And when you have a spot to work, you will be able to keep children and pets away and safe. Before actually using the Smooth-On Rubber, it is imperative to read and understand the technical bulletin and Safety Data Sheet for the product. In the end, there are different health risks that are associated with different materials. So you should not assume that because you are familiar with one material that the same handling procedures apply to a different material. Always read up on the precautions and safety instructions.
