Theatrical Prosthetic Appliances & Makeup FX
Create state-of-the-art theatrical prosthetic appliances for use in film, theater and television using the industry-standard: PlatSil® Gel Silicones
PlatSil® Gels are skin-safe silicones that were formulated for making creatures, age make-up, injured actors, animatronic characters and much more. PlatSil Gels are very versatile given that they can be mixed with a “Deadener” to reduce the snappy, synthetic feel of silicone and simulate any type of tissue. With all of their available additives, PlatSil Gels can be controlled by the artist to meet the needs of any prosthetic application.
PlatSil Gels are also widely used for lifecasting and mold making - one system for multiple uses in your shop.
