The F20 is the perfect product to create total impression of very complex forms.
It stands out with its initial Fluidity, making it effortlessly flow into the tiniest details of any part or surface, regardless of size, from as small as 0.1 mm in diameter to medium-sized components.
Once polymerized, it becomes a very strong and flexible replica of 20 Shore A.
These properties allow it to be stretched and bend extensively during the demoulding process without any complications. As all Plastiforms, it shapes memory allows it to preserve all its accuracy.
Ideal for capturing intricate internal features like threads and grooves, the F20 is especially recommended for complex impressions.
Detail reproduction is accurate to the micron, ensuring every aspect of the original surface —shape, dimensions, texture, and finish— is meticulously replicated and analyzable.
The extraction phase leaves the original surface untouched and free from any residues, ensuring a flawless and traceless process.
The F20’s robust technical properties extend its utility to protective applications, serving excellently as a substitute for gaskets.
The F20 is suitable for multiple applications. It is the most versatile product of the Plastiform range:
Dimensional Control of Complex Internal Forms: It can create total impressions of complexe shapes.
Protective Masking and Sealing against Surface Treatments: The F20 is super efficient at creating custom gaskets.
When used in applications involving straightforward forms, it is effective in boring and handling holes as small as Ø 0.1 mm, including blind holes.
For more intricate requirements, it can manages threading and inner grooves easily.
To let the F20 performs optimally, it’s important to slowly and carefully pours it in the form to be reproducted using the provided nozzles and tips.
These nozzles help mix the product thoroughly, ensuring it reaches every corner of the control area without leaving air bubbles, which could impair the final results. This guidance is applicable across all fluid plastiforms.

Are all products compatible with the Double Blade Cutter ?
No. The double blade cutter can only cut semi-flexible impressions. You can check on the label and the technical sheet if the product you are interest in is usable with the Cutter.
Are Plastiform products dangerous? Do they cause disturbances during use?
Plastiforms are safe to use; they are neither odorous nor irritating. However, we recommend using vinyl gloves as a precaution to avoid any potential risk. While no allergies have been reported thus far, we cannot entirely rule out the possibility. If you have any concerns, consult a doctor. For more detailed information, please refer to the Safety Data Sheet of the product.
Can an underwater impression be taken?
Impressioning can work without problems underwater, and more generally in any environment without oxygen.
What are nozzles and tips used for?
The nozzle should be attached at the end of the cartridge, ensures that the two components of the plastiform mix homogeneously before application. It is a consumable item and must be replaced after each use. The tip, which is fitted at the end of the nozzle, reduces the flow rate. This is particularly recommended for fluid plastiforms to achieve optimal application accuracy, especially in fine details. The tip is reusable and can be cut to increase the flow if needed.
What does “polymerization time” means?
The "polymerization time" is the time required for the impression to reach its final hardness, such as 20 Shore A for F20, 50 Shore A for F50, etc. This indicates when the impression is fully usable, particularly for precise dimensional measurements.
What does “working time” means?
The "Working time" is the period during which a Plastiform can be altered after injection, maintaining its initial consistency. This means that the chemical reaction between the two components has not yet progressed to the point where the impression begins to harden.
