The core advantage of liquid silicone in molds lies in its perfect balance between the convenience of liquid construction and the performance of cured molds. In the uncured liquid stage, it has just the right amount of fluidity, which can naturally level and cover the entire surface of the prototype without the problem of flowing around due to excessive fluidity, making it easy for beginners to operate quickly.
During the mixing process, only two components need to be mixed in proportion, and after simple mixing, defoaming and pouring can be carried out without the need for complex professional equipment. The entire molding process can be completed on a regular workbench.
The cured silicone mold has moderate hardness, which will not cause deformation and mold expansion during pouring due to being too soft, nor will it lose elasticity due to being too hard, affecting the smooth demolding of complex structures. Its chemical corrosion resistance is excellent, and repeated contact with different casting materials will not cause surface swelling or stickiness. It can maintain the smooth state of the inner wall of the mold for a long time, and the finished product produced by flipping always has a clear texture.
Even if there is slight wear on the mold after use, it can be repaired by applying a small amount of liquid silicone gel to extend the service life of the entire mold. This material, with its stable and reliable comprehensive performance, has become a widely recognized choice in the molding process, from personal handicraft workshops to professional industrial trial workshops.
