4. exceptional fluidity and good operability.
Silicone rubber for mold making applications
Silicone rubber for mold making is primarily intended for poly resin crafts, PU crafts, PU resin crafts ,gypsum crafts ,unsaturated resin crafts, lighting and candles crafts ,plastic toy , stationery gifts crafts industry, a large statue Buddha, furniture, furniture decorative materials, statues Buddha, artifacts copied, building decoration materials, large-scale cement mold, artificial fossils Factory, Europe component factory, simulation landscapes, animals and plants sculpture, sandstone crafts and so on.
Silicone rubber for mold making description
Silicone rubber for mold making is white or red flowing liquid with general hardness of 22-50A after curing. Molding silicon rubber is a kind elastic silicon rubber mold which features with resistance to deformation, high-temperature, acid-alkali and expansion as well as high reproduction times, good tensile strength, tear strength and elongation.
Frequently asked questions of silicone rubber for mold making
Why does the silicone rubber mold have few molding times?
The silicone rubber mold has few molding times is due to follwoing reasons: adding too much silicone oil which will destroy the molecular of silicone rubber; making the mold for small and fine detailed products with higher hardness silicone rubber which is easy to break; making the mold for large products with soft silicone rubber which will reduce the tensile and tear strength of the mold, and the mold will have deformation. Thus, we should take the proper silicone rubber to make the mold for suitable products.

Usage of liquid rtv silicone rubber for sculpture molding:

Liquid rtv silicone rubber for sculpture molding is intended for making silicone rubber mold for resin crafts, candles, plastic toys, relieve furniture, architectual decoration, furniture decoration, sculpture and so on.
Feature of liquid rtv silicone rubber for sculpture molding:
Liquid rtv silicone rubber for sculpture molding is flowing liquid with general hardness of 22-50 A after curing with features:
1)low shrinkage
2)good operation
3)high tear and tensile strength
4)curing agent free
5)easy de-mold
6)high reproduction times
7)resistance to deformation and high-temperature, acid-alkali
Operations of liquid rtv silicone rubber for sculpture molding:

If customers want to make large products and large size moulds, the mould should be made of silicone rubber with high hardness. On the contrary, if the mould with fine and precision patterns, it should be made of silicone with low hardness. The amount of the curing agent depends on the actual requirements of the customer. If mould requiring fast drying and demould, more curing is needed.

(Note: our company does not recommend you to add silicon oil. If a special soft silicom mould or fine detailed and complex patterns products are required, 5% - 10% silicon oil could be added to soften the mould for easy demould.)

[Sell] pad printing silicone rubber View details for: pad printing silicone rubber
Pad Printing Silicone Rubber:
Pad printing silicone rubber is specially designed for silicon pads which requires to be exquisite, without impurity or granules, and has advantages such as wearability, high-temperature resistance, and good in printing effect due to adding American Dupont Teflon high-temperature resistance new material. Applications: It is mainly used for printing irregular patterns of plastic toys, electroplating products, electronic toys, trademarks. The silicon pad is a carrier which transfers the patterns from the steel plate onto the products surface.
.
Pad Printing Silicone Rubber Features:
Pad printing silicone rubber with high print times and abrasion resistance. Pad printing silicone rubber has good printing effects, permanent and durable. We can provide all kinds of color and our catalyst is free.
.
Pad Printing Silicone Rubber Operation Instructions:
Pad printing silicone rubber is two-component silicone, part A is liquid silicon rubber, part B is catalyst. The usual mixture of silicone rubber and catalyst is 100 to 2 or 100 to 3.we take 100g of liquid silicon rubber and 2g-3g catalyst, mix them and pour it to your mold. After 2 to 4 hours, you will get a Pad printing silicone rubber.
.
Frequently asked question of pad printing silicone rubber:
The reasons why the silicone pad has a short service life are listed as follows:
(1)The problem caused by inappropriate filtration of silicone rubber, and impurities in the packaging process due to the uncleanness of barrels and bags.
(2)The short service life of the silicone pad has a close relationship with the adding amount of silicone oil. The more the silicone oil added, the softer the silicone pad will be. The silicone oil will destroy the molecule of the silicone rubber, thereby bringing about the non-durable and easy ageing of the silicone pad.
(3)All the users should know the properties of pad printing silicone rubber. The service life of the silicone pad has close relationship with the size of the printed patterns. For example, if a big pattern to be printed, a big silicone pad is required; if a small pattern to be printed, a small silicone pad (the silicone pad has to be adjusted according to the size of the patterns, and the proportion between the size of the silicone pad and the pattern is 3:1.)

2. Non-deformation
3. Heat resistance
4. Low shrinkage
a. Applications of Manual Molding Silicone Rubber
Manual Molding Silicone Rubber is mainly used for model design of manual mold, PVC plastic molds, cement products, low melting point alloy molds, alloy toys, plastic toys, electronics, handicrafts, stationery, large-scale sculpture, reproduction of cultural relic, shoe sole molds, pad printing allocation, Electronic equipment antivibration, etc.
FAQ of manual molding silicone rubber
How to prevent silicone manual molds getting sticky?
The main reason for this problem is that you do not handle the products or original molds well, then you should deal with the original mold or products carefully before molding. Such as for the products with a complicated pattern or a unsmoothed surface, you should polish and clean the products after which it will be molded ,then spray the release agent. Normally, the release agent can be Vaseline , detergent. liquid wax Etc. In practical process, you can bush different release agent according to different material.
The second reason is that the operator pour the silicone into the mold when the mixture is mixed evenly, then the finish silicone mold will not cure and dry entirely.
Further information on Manual Molding Silicone Rubber is available. Please feel free to contact Kaimi.
