BLUESIL RTV 34xx Series – addition-curing mold-making silicones with a range of hardness levels
The BLUESIL RTV 34xx family is Elkem’s range of two-component, polyaddition-curing silicone elastomers for mold making and prototyping. All variants are platinum-cured and cure at room temperature without off-gassing —the mold shrinks only minimally (0.1%), the material is chemically and thermally resistant, and the detail resolution is in the submicrometer range.
The key difference between the variants is the Shore A hardness, which ranges from 12 (very soft, for pad printing pads) to 50 (hard, for durable production molds). Choose the appropriate variant based on your application:
| Variant | Shore A | pot life | Demold | main use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTV 3410 QC | 12 | 10 min | 30–40 min | Pad printing pads, tile rollers |
| RTV 3428 | 28 | 60 min | 4:00 p.m. | Composite molds (aerospace, boat building) |
| RTV 3430 SB | 28 | 180 minutes | 24 hours | Self-bleeding, delicate reproduction |
| RTV 3440 | 40 | 90 min | 6 hours | Standard mold, quick demolding |
| RTV 3445 | 45 | 60 min | 24 hours | medium-hard, lower mixing viscosity |
| RTV 3450 | 50 | 90 min | 4:00 p.m. | The toughest version, production molds |
Materials that can be cast include plaster, wax, polyester, polyurethane, epoxy, low-melting-point metals, and many other casting materials.
What's in this container?
Catalyst Component B (low-viscosity liquid). Add in a 1:10 ratio to Base A. 2.5 kg container of catalyst, translucent.
BLUESIL RTV 3410 QC in detail
BLUESIL RTV 3410 QC is the softest variant in the product family (Shore A 12) with a very short pot life (10 min) and extremely fast demolding (30–40 min). The low viscosity (3,000 mPa·s for A and B) makes the material easy to degas and ready to pour without dilution.
Typical applications
- Pad printing pads – when a very soft printing pad is required
- Silicone sleeves for printing rollers in the tile industry – Indirect printing on ceramic tiles
- Anywhere where soft, fast-curing silicone is needed
Inhibition Warning
Platinum-cured RTVs are inhibited in trace amounts by:
- Natural or synthetic rubber containing sulfur (natural rubber, NBR, neoprene gloves)
- Metal-salt-catalyzed condensation RTV (tin)
- Tin-stabilized PVC
- Epoxides cured with amines
- Certain organic solvents (ketones, alcohols, ethers)
Practical advice: Set aside a separate venting chamber for addition-cure RTV; if in doubt, conduct a preliminary test at a test site.
storage
Can be stored for up to 12 months in unopened original packaging at temperatures between −10°C and +30°C.
BLUESIL RTV 3410 QC B Translucent is supplied by SILITECH AG with technical support, a batch certificate, and shipping from our Swiss warehouse within 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions About BLUESIL RTV 3410 QC B Translucent
Answers regarding the application and processing of BLUESIL RTV 3410 QC B Translucent.
Addition-cure silicones (platinum) cross-link without producing by-products, resulting in minimal shrinkage (0.1%) and high dimensional stability. Condensation-cure RTV silicones shrink significantly more (0.4–1.2%). Addition-cure silicones are the first choice for dimensionally accurate prototypes and production molds.
Check the substrate before pouring: Contact with sulfur, tin, amines, or certain solvents will halt the curing process. Conduct a preliminary test using a small test strip to be sure. A separate venting chamber for addition-cure RTV reduces cross-contamination.
Yes, using heat up to a maximum of 60°C to minimize shrinkage. Higher temperatures significantly shorten the pot life and can cause dimensional changes—for precise shapes, room-temperature curing is preferred.
