EASYPLAT FLESH 00-30 -Flesh-colored Platinum Silicone-

EASYPLAT FLESH 00-30 is a two-component platinum (addition) silicone in flesh tone with Shore Hardness 00-30, designed for applications requiring extreme flexibility and a hyperrealistic appearance. Its equal-parts mix ratio (1A:1B) and low viscosity make it accessible to both special effects professionals and prosthetics artists and Reborn doll makers.

Technical specifications

What it is used for

Its ultra-soft Shore Hardness (00-30) and flesh tone make it a benchmark for any work requiring the faithful replication or simulation of human tissue. Its most common applications include:

• Fabrication of character prosthetics and anaplastology pieces (nipples, ears, noses, etc.)
• Special effects (FX) for film, television and theatre
• Parts and skins for animatronics and hyperrealistic puppets
• Reborn dolls and ultra-realistic collectible figures
• Silicone masks and silicone skins for professional cosplay
• Hyperrealistic replicas of body parts
• Flexible moulds for complex geometries and undercut pieces

How to use it

1. Prepare the surface or original. Make sure the model is clean and free of cure-inhibiting contaminants (latex, tin silicone, sulphur-containing clays, fresh epoxy, etc.). Apply a release agent if necessary.
2. Weigh or measure the parts. Mix component A and component B in a 1:1 ratio by both weight and volume. Use a precision scale for critical work.
3. Mix thoroughly. Stir for 2-3 minutes with a spatula, scraping the sides and bottom of the container carefully, until you achieve a uniform colour with no streaks.
4. Degas if you have a vacuum chamber. Apply vacuum for 1-2 minutes to remove bubbles, especially for thin moulds or high-definition prosthetics.
5. Pour or apply. Thanks to its low viscosity (2800 mPa·s), you can pour in a thin stream or apply with a brush. If using a thixotropic additive, apply it beforehand to control sagging on vertical surfaces.
6. Working time: 30-40 minutes. Work within that window; after that time, the silicone begins to gel and cannot be manipulated without defects.
7. Cure at room temperature. Allow to rest at 25 °C for 3-4 hours before demoulding. Heat accelerates curing; cold slows it down.
8. Demould carefully. Thanks to its extreme flexibility, you can fold or turn the mould inside out without risk of tearing.
9. Pigment if necessary. Add pigments specifically formulated for platinum silicone before pouring to customise the flesh tone or add veins and intradermal details.

Usage tips

Temperature control to adjust working times

The stated times (30-40 min working time, 3-4 h cure time) correspond to 25 °C. In summer or in warm workshops, the mix may gel sooner; in winter, curing may be significantly longer. If you need more manipulation time, chill the components in a refrigerator (without condensation) before mixing. To accelerate curing, you can apply gentle heat using an oven or heat blanket at 40-50 °C.

Prosthetics and encapsulated applications

For professional prosthetics requiring edges that blend into the skin, combine EASYPLAT FLESH 00-30 with an encapsulant such as Skin Imitator. If you need an even softer, "dead-feeling" silicone, you can add deadener at a ratio of between 180% and 200% relative to the total mixed silicone, which provides a tactile feel extremely close to real skin. Use pigments specifically formulated for platinum silicone to intrinsically colour the material and add vascular detail before pouring.

Compatibility with moulds and reproduction materials

Always verify that the mould you intend to cast EASYPLAT FLESH 00-30 into is not made from tin silicone or sulphur-containing materials, as these will inhibit curing. Polyurethane resin moulds, sealed plaster or platinum silicone moulds are the safest options. Always apply a release agent between platinum silicones to prevent pieces from bonding to the mould. If you plan to make multiple copies, a rigid shell mould (plaster or resin) is essential to maintain the geometry of the soft mould during casting.
