Technical Data Sheet
ALCHEMIX® RTV 133

Condensation Cure Silicone Rubber
ALCHEMIX RTV 133 is a two-component condensation cure, low viscosity
silicone rubber. Suitable for mould making, producing replicas of polyester, epoxy
resins, urethane foam and wax etc. It can precisely reproduce the shape of the
original model. ALCHEMIX RTV 133 has exceptionally high tear strength and
good elongation.
Special Features
• Fast cure
• Low viscosity
• Easy to demould
• Excellent tear strength and tensile properties
• Low shrinkage

Mould Preparation
Ensure the master mould is clean, dust and dirt free. If the master is made of
glass or ceramic, it is possible that the silicone rubber may stick to it, so a release
agent is advisable. We recommend Release Agent R5.
Mixing and Pouring Instructions
Use clean containers, which have a capacity for the rubber to expand to at least
five times its volume during degassing e.g. if 1kg is being mixed, use a 5 litre
container.
We advise using the batch of catalyst supplied with the RTV. Add the Catalyst to
the RTV at the correct ratio, accurate weighing is essential. Mix the Catalyst into
the RTV immediately. The product should be mixed thoroughly, paying particular
attention to the sides and bottom of the mix vessel. Care should be taken to avoid
entrapping too much air during mixing.

ALCHEMIX RTV 133 will self degas, but to achieve best results the product
should be de-aired under vacuum. When vacuuming, the material will expand to
approximately five times its original volume and collapse, it is at this point the
material has been successfully vacuumed. Pour the vacuumed silicone rubber
uniformly all over the surface of the master. Any bubbles must be broken with
positive air pressure or by passing a spatula gently across the surface. For
intricate moulds degas again ensuring there is sufficient room in the mould box for
expansion of the rubber. When degassing use 40 mbar vacuum, degassing is
completed about 1 minute after the frothing ceases. Mould life and tear strength
are improved with degassing.
Curing
Atmospheric temperature and humidity differ from season to season. In winter

months the pot life and curing time will be nearly twice their summer values. To
carry out curing more rapidly, raise the room temperature to 20 – 30°C. The
product will reach optimum properties after 7 days.
Thixotropy
We recommend using RTV 106 at a level of 1 – 3%. Mix the RTV and catalyst
before adding RTV 106.
Storage
ALCHEMIX RTV 133 and CATALYST C133S & F should be stored in original,
unopened containers between 15 and 25°C. Always tightly reseal containers after
use. Air, moisture or other contamination causes a reduction in reactivity over
time.
If stored under the above conditions, ALCHEMIX RTV 133 will have a shelf life of
6 months, from the date of production.
Packaging
ALCHEMIX RTV 133 is supplied in 1kg, 5kg or 25kg packs.

CATALYST C133S & F are supplied in 50g, 250g or 1.25kg packs.
