How to use

1.Substrate Preparation
The surface of the original should be clean and free of loose material. If necessary, and in particular with porous substrates, use a suitable release agent such as petroleum jelly or soap solution.


2. Mixing
Thoroughly stir Part A (silicone base) before use as filler separation may occur upon prolonged storage.
Weigh 100 grams Part A (silicone base) and 3 grams Part B (curing agent)  in a clean container. Mix together until the curing agent is completely dispersed in the base. Hand or mechanical mixing can be used, but do not mix for an extended period of time or allow the temperature to exceed 35°C (95°F). Mix suitably small quantities to ensure thorough mixing of the par A (silicone base) and part B (curing agent).

It is strongly recommended that entrapped air be removed in a vacuum chamber, allowing the mix to completely expand and then collapse. After a further 1-2 minutes under vacuum, the mix should be inspected and can be used if free of air bubbles. A volume increase of 3-5 times will occur on vacuum de-airing the mixture, so a suitably large container should be chosen.

Caution: prolonged vacuum will remove volatile components from the mix and may result in poor thick section cure and non-typical properties.

Note: If no vacuum de-airing equipment is available, air entrapment can be minimized by mixing a small quantity of par A (silicone base) and part B (curing agent), then using a brush, painting the original with a 1-2mm layer. Leave at room temperature until the surface is bubble free and the layer has begun to cure. Mix a further quantity of base and curing agent and proceed as follows to produce a final mold.


3. Pouring the Mixture and Curing
Pour the mixed Par A (silicone base) and Part B (curing agent) as soon as possible onto the original, avoiding air entrapment. The catalyzed material will cure to a flexible rubber within 24 hours at room temperature (22°C-24°C/ 71.6°F - 75.2°F) and the mold can then be separated from the original. If the working temperature is significantly lower, the cure time will be longer. If the room temperature or humidity is very high, the working time of the catalyzed mixture will be reduced. The final mechanical properties of the mold will be reached within 7 days.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Reproduction of Vertical Surfaces
If a skin mold is required of a vertical object or surface and cannot be made by normal pouring techniques, the catalyzed mixture can be made non flowable by the addition of thixotropic agent.
1. Prepare the original as described earlier.

2. Brush the original with a thin layer of catalyzed mixture. Repeat the operation when the first layer has started to cure, to achieve a coating thickness of >2mm. Leave to cure at room temperature until the material is tacky.

3. Prepare a new catalyzed mixture of silicone and add 1% by weight of thixotropic additive and mix thoroughly until a paste consistency is reached. De-airing of the mixture is not required.

4. Using a spatula, cover the coated original with the thixotropic coating until all undercuts are filled; leave to cure for 24 hours at room temperature.

5. Construct a support mold using polyester resin or plaster and allow to set in contact with the silicone coating. Carefully remove the support mold. Peel the rubber off the original and place in the support mold.

Use at High Temperatures
Some molds produced from condensation cure silicone rubbers can degrade when exposed to temperatures above 150°C (302°F) over a period of time or when totally confined in storage at high ambient temperatures. This can result in softening and loss of elastic properties.

Resistance to Casting Materials
The chemical resistance of fully cured silicone rubber is excellent, and similar to all condensation cure silicone elastomers. It should be noted however that ultimately, resins and other aggressive casting materials will attack silicone molds, changing physical properties, surface release and possibly mold dimensions. Molds should be checked periodically during long production runs.


Shelf life
Twelve (12) months from date of shipment when stored at 25ºC in the original sealed packages.


Package
Silicone Packed in clean 25kg/pail, 200kg/drum.
Catalyst packed in 1kg/bottle.

Common Question and Our warm advice and solutions.

Why could the silicone mold be reused only for a few times?
Maybe you will confuse about this question for years. Here we share you some following reasons:
*  Adding too much silicone oil into silicone rubber. Silicone oil is an additive which will destroy the molecular weight of silicone rubber and reduce the tension and tear strength.
*  Adding too much catalyst into the silicone rubber when you make the molds. For the condensation cure(tin catalyst) silicone rubber. we s est you add no more than 2% of catalyst. If you 1add too much catalyst, the operation time will be too fast to operate ,which will also reduce the tension and tear strength.
*  Using the silicon rubber with a high hardness to make molds for small sized products with delicate and intricate designs and the silicon rubber with a low hardness to makes molds for large sized products with simple designs.


Why does the silicone mold get burnt out?
The silicone mold get burnt out because you have left out the important notes when using unsaturated resin materials to produce your products. The unsaturated resin produces great heat when added the curing agent. So you must demould the product within 3 minutes to avoid this problem.
Our silicone rubber has add a special material which can resistant high temperature to make the resin molds. Help our customer avoid this problem. 


Why does the silicone mould appear to be dry outside but wet inside? 
Because molding silicone rubber is a kind of condensation silicone rubber, which get solidified after absorbing moisture from the air. In order to provide a significant shelf-life for the silicon rubber, we will dry out the water in the silicon rubber.
Solution: Add 0.05% water into the silicon rubber and Stir over a low speed briefly when you use it.


Why is the tear strength of silicone molds weak?

There are three reasons:

First: In order to reduce the viscosity of silicone rubber and pursue good quality, a large amount of silicone oil can be added to the silicone rubber when making the mold. In fact, it may have the opposite effect. The addition of silicone oil can severely reduce tension and tear strength. And the silicon mold will be in a fragile and fragile state.

Secondly: too much catalyst may be added to the silicone rubber, we recommend that customers add catalyst no more than 5%, 2% is fine.

Third: After the silicone mold is finished, you may use it prematurely. We recommend that customers start using the mold after 24 hours. More importantly, it would be better if you could make an outer mold to protect the silicone mold.



5. Why does the mold silicone have poor tension?

In the process of making the mold, in order to reduce the viscosity of the silicone rubber and make the silicone rubber easy to operate, a large amount of silicone oil is added to the silicone rubber, which will make the silicone rubber very soft, resulting in poor tensile strength and reduced tear strength. The phenomenon of poor tensile force, resulting in the phenomenon that the mold is not durable, the service life is short, and the number of mold overturns is small.


6. Why does the mold appear oily?

The mold silicone itself will not emit oil. The oil is caused by the addition of composite silicone oil (complex of silicone oil and white mineral oil) during the operation, because white mineral oil is a petrochemical product, not silicone oil.


8. Why does the  silicone mold have traces, streaks, and unevenness on the surface?

This phenomenon occurs because the product or model to be reproduced has not been ground or polished. Because the actual model or product itself is not smooth or perfect enough, if the product or model to be copied has not been ground or polished, even the best silicone mold will be unsightly and not smooth enough. Another situation is that when the release agent is applied, the mold will not be smooth if it is not evenly brushed.

9. What else wonderful usages of mold silicone do you know?

Mold silicone rubber is mainly used in toy and gift industry, craft gift industry, furniture decoration industry, character reproduction, building decoration and decoration industry, resin handicraft industry, unsaturated resin handicraft industry, candle craft, plastic toy industry, gift stationery industry, gypsum Craft gift industry, mold manufacturing industry, glass industrial products, simulation animal and plant sculpture, Buddha carving crafts and other industries product replication and mold making.
