Platinum-Cured Silicone Rubber

Platinum-cured (also known as addition-cure), room temperature-curing silicones that cure to flexible, high-strength rubbers. Platinum-cured silicone rubber is an excellent mold material, but select silicone products are also widely used as a casting medium in applications including medical modeling, special effects, and orthotics.

Tin-Cured Silicone Rubber

Tin-cured (also known as condensation cure), room-temperature curing silicones are most commonly used to make flexible molds. Molds made from these rubbers exhibit high tear strength, good release properties, and resistance to high temperatures.

Compared to platinum-cured silicone rubbers, tin-cured silicones show less sensitivity to cure inhibition.

Silicone Foam

Silicone Foam is a platinum-cured silicone foam with a 15 lb/ft³ density. It is often used in conjunction with gel silicone rubbers to create prosthetic appliances and props.

"Prior to our relationship with Weaver Materiel, we were purchasing riser sleeves direct from the OEM. As a stocking distributor, Weaver typically is able to deliver same or next day. OEM lead times averaged three to four weeks. With Weaver, I've been able to reduce my working inventory by about 40%."

- JD Schmidt, QA Manager, Ohio Ferrous Foundry

“Ashland Foundry & Machine Works and Weatherly Casting are grateful for the partnership in our working relationship with Weaver Materials. Weaver has helped us maintain pricing and avoid increases in a volatile market. Weaver has always kept us in supply of material when markets dictated shortages/allocation status. If Weaver was not in our vendor pool daily production ability would have been negatively impacted. Weaver is also technically able to review our foundry processes and make suggestions to either achieve a cost savings or process improvement. I am looking forward to a continued collaboration between the Weaver team and my locations.”
