Features
  • Superior Definition & Accuracy: Captures the finest surface details of the master original, ensuring a professional, high-fidelity finish in every cast.
  • High Elasticity & Strength: Formulated as a pre-vulcanised emulsion, the resulting rubber skin is incredibly strong and flexible, allowing for repeated use and easy de-moulding of undercuts.
  • Efficient Build-Up: Designed for brush-on application. Apply successive layers to the master, allowing each to air-dry before the next coat to achieve the desired mould thickness.
  • Technical Versatility: * Thickening: The use of a latex thickening agent allows for thicker layers to be built up more rapidly, minimising dripping on vertical or non-horizontal surfaces.
  • Surface Performance: Thickening the latex also improves coverage and adhesion on non-porous surfaces.

Description

Trylon Latex Liquid Rubber - Pre-Vulcanised Moulding Emulsion

Trylon Latex Liquid Rubber is a high-specification, pre-vulcanised emulsion engineered for the creation of high-fidelity, flexible "skin" moulds. This versatile material air-dries to form a durable, elastic rubber membrane that can be inverted to produce accurate replicas of a master original. Renowned for its exceptional tear strength and dimensional accuracy, it is the definitive choice for professionals requiring a cost-effective, easy-to-use moulding solution for complex geometries and textured surfaces.

Applications:

  • Architectural Model Making: Ideal for replicating detailed topographical elements, brickwork textures, or cobblestone pavings. The thin, flexible nature of the cured latex allows it to be stripped from delicate architectural masters without damaging fine details.
  • Film & TV Prop Making: A staple for constructing lightweight theatrical masks, prosthetic foundations, and flexible "hero" props. Its ability to conform to organic shapes makes it perfect for capturing intricate skin textures or weathered scenic details.
  • Sculpture & Casting: Frequently used for the mass production of garden ornaments, plaster reliefs, and decorative architectural castings. It is most commonly used in conjunction with Plaster of Paris to create robust, detailed casts.
  • Textile & Special Effects: Can be used to create flexible "skins" for costumes or mechanical puppets, and is highly receptive to specific latex colourants for bespoke aesthetic requirements.

Technical Specifications:

  • Material: Pre-vulcanised Natural Rubber Latex Emulsion
  • Curing Method: Air-drying
  • Application: Brush-on (Mutliple coats recommended)
  • Compatibility: Ideal for Plaster of Paris and most gypsu-based casting materials
  • Clean-Up: Brushes should be cleaned immediately after use with soapy water or a dedicated latex cleaner
