Tin Silicones have a tin base. These are used for mold making primarily. They are not usually used for prosthetics as they leach the tin oil and make adhering to skin impossible. Some tin silicone set quicker than others or an additive can be mixed in that makes the silicone set up faster. The difference in set time is the amount of tin that is added to the base.
Not acceptable for making molds that are used in food preparation.
