The Silicone Pottery

Take 5 Rubber® is a project by Tosho Rubber Industries Co., Ltd. that enables you to create various shapes

and colors by baking their proprietary ARTISAN SILICONE®.
This rubber, which can be freely shaped like clay and hardens in 5 minutes in a 120°C (248°F) oven,

is unbreakable, water-resistant, and safe for human use. Its ability to bond to itself and be further processed

opens up new possibilities for creativity.

Take 5 Rubber® aims to foster rich craftsmanship in everyday life.

Tosho Rubber Industries, Inc. was founded in a region where pottery production flourished 1500 years ago in Japan.

In this place that holds the memory of ancient pottery culture, we will create a new pottery culture using

our original rubber material, Artisan Silicone®.

Artisan Silicone®

Developed by Tosho Rubber Industries Co., Ltd.

Conventional silicone rubber has been used for kitchen utensils and medical devices, but it requires specialized equipment and high-temperature, high-pressure processing. Artisan Silicone® overturns this conventional image and is a new type of silicone rubber.

It can be kneaded by hand like modeling clay and can be cured as is in a household toaster oven at 120°C (248°F).
It has almost no odor, unlike industrial silicone rubber, making it comfortable to work with.
Due to its high refractive index, it mixes and blends colors well, allowing for the expression of a variety of colors.

It is harmless to the human body and can be used safely even by people with metal allergies. Even if accidentally swallowed, it is excreted from the body, making it safe even in environments with small children. It is also heat-resistant from -50°C to 200°C (-58°F to 392°F) and can be used in a variety of situations.

It has low tackiness and is not sticky, making it easy to work with. It can be molded into the desired shape without the need for a mold, and it is also possible to integrate cured rubber with uncured raw material.
