Conventional silicone rubber has been used for kitchen utensils and medical devices, but it requires specialized equipment and high-temperature, high-pressure processing. Artisan Silicone® overturns this conventional image and is a new type of silicone rubber.

It can be kneaded by hand like modeling clay and can be cured as is in a household toaster oven at 120°C. It has almost no odour, unlike industrial silicone rubber, making it comfortable to work with. Due to its high refractive index, it mixes and blends colours well, allowing for the expression of a variety of colours.

It is harmless to the human body and can be used safely even by people with metal allergies. Even if accidentally swallowed, it is excreted from the body, making it safe even in environments with small children. It is also heat-resistant from -50°C to 200°C and can be used in a variety of situations.

It has low tackiness and is not sticky, making it easy to work with. It can be moulded into the desired shape without the need for a mould, and it is also possible to integrate cured rubber with uncured raw material.
