Doing so will greatly extend the service life of silicone for condensation molds

The mold made of condensed silicone mold has the characteristics of convenient flipping and good replication effect, so it is widely used for flipping and replication in industrial buildings, gradually replacing traditional hard molds. Compared to traditional hard molds, condensed mold silicone is relatively soft and belongs to the category of soft molds. Long term use will cause mold silicone to break, and the price and cost will be high. So, how to reduce production costs? Today, HANAST silicone will teach you how to extend the service life of condensed mold silicone!
1. Silicone molds should be fully vulcanized before use, and should not be used immediately after vulcanization, as this will greatly reduce the service life of the mold. Generally, complete vulcanization of silicone molds takes about 4-12 hours;
2. Mold, like humans, can be tiring from frequent work, so it is necessary to increase the rest time of the mold appropriately;
3. When flipping resin products, use high-quality resins and choose resins with low heat generation. Otherwise, it will burn the silicone gel of the condensation mold for a long time
4. When flipping resin products, an appropriate amount of accelerator and catalyst should be added to the resin, and the mixture should be evenly mixed.

5. When not in use, it is important to avoid stacking and pressing the silicone molds together, as it can easily cause bending and warping of the silicone molds.
6. If the silicone mold is not used for a long time, it should be stored in a cool and dark place.
7. After using the silicone mold, clean it with mild soapy water.
The above is a method to extend the service life of silicone molds for condensation. As long as everyone masters the scientific use and preservation methods of silicone molds, it will greatly extend the service life of silicone molds, save production costs, and improve production efficiency!
