LiquaFast® ICE is Castaldo's fastest-curing 0% shrinkage RTV silicone mold rubber, specially designed for CAD-CAM, RP, and SLA models. This transparent two-part system produces strong, tear-resistant molds ready to use in as little as 30 minutes—ideal for rapid prototype workflows and short-run jewelry production. Low viscosity makes it easy to measure, mix, pour, and degas, even without vacuum equipment.
Features
- Cures in as little as 30 minutes at room temperature.
- 0% shrinkage for precise pattern reproduction.
- Transparent silicone allows visual inspection of masters during pouring and cure.
- Tough, durable, and tear-resistant molds that do not soften with age.
- Low viscosity ensures easy mixing, pouring, and bubble-free results.
- Compatible with most CAD-CAM and RP resins, including Solidscape® wax models.
- Economical alternative to traditional RTV materials—faster throughput with less downtime.

What's Included
- LiquaFast® ICE Part A (transparent silicone base)
- LiquaFast® ICE Part B (transparent silicone catalyst)
- Total net contents: 1 kg (2.2 lb); mix 1:1 by weight or volume
Compatibility
- Ideal for CAD-CAM, RP, and SLA master models, including fine detail and delicate designs.
- Excellent with Solidscape® and other wax/resin-based prototypes.
- Suitable for jewelry model making, casting, and prototyping where speed and clarity matter.
- Can be used with or without vacuum equipment. If no vacuum is available, brushing or dipping techniques minimize air bubbles (see instruction sheet).
Notes
- Mix thoroughly to a uniform consistency; avoid introducing air during stirring.
- Maintain even room temperature for best cure results.
- Do not mix in paper or wooden containers; use clean plastic or metal mixing tools.
- Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
- Professional use only. Follow Castaldo's full instructions for best results and safety precautions.
