FuseFXTM
- S-300 Series FISC Pigments
Production overview and instruction
For professional use only
These FISC
Silicone Pigments (AKA Functional Intrinsic Skin Colors) are the
fundamental basics of all human skin tones. Adding a few drops of these
pigments to your clear Platinum silicone (example: Smooth-On’s Dragon
Skin, Ecoflex, Renew Platinum base silicones etc…) will give you a
foundation to mimic human skin.
FISC Silicone Pigments are versatile and easy to use
silicone pigments developed for medical prosthesis, special effects
prosthetic artisans, doll makers, etc. to easily create a skintone base
color effects for their platinum silicone creations.
Once demold, you can complete the coloring by using FuseFX line
of Platinum silicone paints.
We recommend that the cured piece to be painted, be no more than 2 days
old.
Clean All Surfaces That Will Contact FuseFX Paints -
All surfaces to be painted, need to be free of any contaminants
(especially mold release). If necessary, clean all surfaces with
solvent (Toluene, Xylene, or Naphtha), and allow to dry before painting.
FuseFX S-300 Series FISC Silicone Pigments can be
used in ALL silicone bases.
ALWAYS
SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE
Due to the nature of how the silicone pigments are suspended for
dispersion, it is strongly advise to SHAKE WELL before use.
Even if the bottle has been sitting for a few minutes, it’s always best
to shake well again before using.
Mix Ratio:
A basic mixing ratio of 3 drops of pigments per 10 grams by weight of
catilized silicone (A & B).
This ration is for a 10 A shore
Platinum base silicone, ex: Smooth-On Dragon skin, Smooth-On 910, Renew
10, etc...
For a softer 0030 shore silicone, you may have to add LESS
pigment.
A mixing
ratio of 2 drops of pigments per 10 grams by weight of catilized
silicone (A & B).
This
ration is for a soft Platinum base silicone, ex: Smooth-On EchoFlex 0030 or silicones that
have additives like Smooth-On’s Slacker, thinners, fluids or other
additives.
Adding too much pigment can alter the color, adding too little pigments
will make your piece too transluscent.
Certain silicones do behave differently in
large quantaties and you may need to reduce the amount of pigments to
the mix and adjust accordingly.
ALWAYS RUN A TEST SAMPLE FIRST.
It’s cheaper to
ruin a 10 gram test sample that to ruin a 300 gram
batch.
Some ratios that may be of help...
For example:
One bottle of S-304 contains 30 grams or approx. 1,000 drops. So one
bottle of S-304 pigment could tint approx. 3,300 grams of silicone,
approx. 7.2 pounds or 116.4 oz.
This is not precise but very close. Some pigments
are heavier that others.
0.55 grams = 20 drops
0.83 grams = 30 drops
1.1 grams = 40 drops
1.6 grams = 60 drops
2.2 grams = 80 drops
2.7 grams = 100 drops
Please note:
Certain
silicones do behave differently in large quantaties and you may need to
reduce the amount of pigments to the mix and adjust accordingly.
