Raw Material Suppliers

What Raw Material Suppliers does

Raw Material Suppliers is a private, e-commerce-direct brand of Polytek Development Corp., headquartered at 872 Towne Center Drive, Pomona, California, that manufactures and distributes specialty mold-making and casting consumables. The company's product portfolio centers on three proprietary trademarked lines: Magikmold® silicone rubbers (tin-cured and platinum-cured RTV formulations with 500%+ elongation and Shore A hardness grades from A8 to A40), Magikast™ fast-cast urethane resins (90-second to 300-second pot-life variants curing to rigid plastics), and Print-On® silicone inks available in multiple colors with 10:1 mix ratios for printing on silicone substrates. Supporting accessories include mixing cups, wooden sticks, silicone thinners, release agents (e.g., Stoner E-236), and catalysts that accelerate cure times. The underlying technology is mature Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) silicone chemistry combined with two-part urethane resin systems; the company emphasizes technical differentiation through elongation, tear strength, detail reproduction, and cure-speed flexibility rather than software or AI components.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model through rawmaterialsuppliers.com, with toll-free phone sales support (800-858-5990) and email support ([email protected]). Pricing follows a unit-pricing pay-as-you-go model with kit sizes ranging from trial quantities (e.g., 110g ink, 12 oz cans) to bulk containers (5-gallon pails, 9.9 lb ink gallons), with prices spanning $5 to $940. The company offers free shipping on all online orders and Net 30 terms for approved accounts. Customer segmentation spans industrial and professional users (sculpture reproduction, architectural restoration, fine arts, bronze casting, themed environments, entertainment props, model making, and concrete casting — the primary segment), hobbyists and craftspeople (secondary), and silicone product manufacturers needing compatible ink systems (secondary). All products are labeled for industrial/professional use only.

Raw Material Suppliers functions as a focused DTC sales channel within Polytek Development Corp.'s broader multi-brand specialty chemicals portfolio (which includes Alumilite, BCC Products, Blehm Plastics, Environmental Technology, Pro Marine Supplies, Stone Coat Countertops, Endurance Technologies, MAS Epoxies, Custom Polymer Designs, Bristol Finish, and Incredible Solutions). The unit is small (1–10 employees), privately held with no funding rounds or public listing, distributes domestically only, and relies on the parent's manufacturing R&D and shared fulfillment infrastructure to operate. The leadership team disclosed is led by Steve Levine as Founder & President. No revenue, headcount growth, or financial performance data is publicly available for the standalone unit.
