HX-200™ Coating/Dipping Latex

Product Overview

HX-200 is a pre-vulcanized, low-viscosity latex widely used for dipping, coating and slush-casting applications. Its flowable consistency makes it ideal for creating thin, stretchy skins and flexible latex coatings.

Sometimes referred to as a "balloon" latex, HX-200 is popular for specialty fabrication, DIY projects, repair work and custom latex applications. It can also be tinted with FabTone pigments for custom colors and effects.

Application Summary

• Stir thoroughly before use.
• Apply by dipping, coating or slush-casting.
• Control thickness through dwell time and repeated applications.
• Allow the latex to dry completely before handling or demolding.
• Store and use at room temperature and do not allow to freeze.

Mixing & Curing Notes

Dwell time controls thickness: about 30 minutes yields roughly a 1/16-inch thickness, while a two-hour dwell can produce about a 1/4-inch thickness. Dense plasters are less absorbent and build more slowly, and humidity and ambient temperature also affect drying time. Avoid oils, greases and solvents on finished castings and store them out of direct sunlight.
