Hey Everyone!
Just curious if anyone has ever worked with Versimold?

I stumbled across it today in while doing some research, and immediately thought of a few places in my ROV that i could use this stuff...

Thoughts?

I actually love it. It makes sugru look like play doh!

Any idea of the shore hardness? We'd be looking at 70 ish for gaskets. Though for claw grippers, bump strips etc it looks the dogs danglies

Im looking for more technical info on the Versimold... (Sent email to Mfg... will post reply here.)

Had not heard of SUGRU before... but now... first order placed!

Thanks for the tip!

Got some details from the guys over at Versimold.

Our Versimold product (once cured) has a dielectric strength of 400v/mil, shore A hardness is 55-60, density is approximately 1.15 (depending on color), and tensile strength of 9 MPa.

Just for comparison sake, I have compared Versimold to Sugru to PVC (wire insulation).

Code: Select all

Shore A Hardness        -       55-60           70        70-95
Density (g/cm^3)        -       1.15            1.3       ~1.4
Tensile Strength (MPa)  -       9               1.89      ~20

So there you have it!

Are there any other products out there similar to this?
