What is the appropriate hardness for industrial grade silicone molds in reverse molding?

Industrial-grade silicone molds have a wide range of applications, covering industrial construction, handicrafts, accessories, various accessories, and other fields. Industrial-grade silicone molds are used for flipping and re-molding!
When operating industrial-grade silicone molds, there are generally two processes: reverse molding and brush molding. The brush molding process generally uses a hardness of around 25-30 hardness, but how much degree does the reverse molding process require? Below, HANAST Silicone will explain to you:
When producing industrial-grade silicone molds, the size of the product determines the hardness of the silicone. The larger the product, the greater the required hardness, but usually the hardness of the inverted mold does not exceed 18 hardness.

Mold silicone for fine products such as flipping soap, soap, and craft candles requires a hardness of 5-10 hardness, while mold silicone similar to flipping fossils requires a hardness of 15-18 hardness.
In short, the smaller the product, the lower the hardness used, and the larger the product, the harder the silicone mold used. However, the hardness generally does not exceed 18 hardness.
