Mold silicone is divided into three, six, and nine grades, with high, medium, and low quality; Different quality grades of silicone molds are used, and the silicone molds produced are also classified into high, medium, and low. Here, I have to remind everyone that the use of low-quality silicone molds is low, and even with some remedial measures, it is difficult to save this low-quality silicone mold.
Since you want silicone molds to be flipped more times, have a longer service life, and increase usage rates, choosing high-quality silicone molds is essential; In addition to using high-quality silicone molds, there are also some ways to improve its service life, and the following precautions should be taken:
1) After the completion of silicone mold production, it must be left for 24 hours before it can be put into production;
2) The silicone rubber soft mold should have a minimum interval of about 10 minutes after demolding the product after a single production;
3) It is best to spray some release agent on the mold before use;
4) The silicone rubber mold should be placed steadily during use, and the inclination should not exceed 20 degrees;
5) During the demolding process of the mold adhesive, the operation should be as gentle as possible, and uneven tearing and pulling should be avoided by all means;
6) When the silicone mold is temporarily not in use, it should be stored on the shelf and cannot be detached from the hard mold;
7) The most important point is to choose the appropriate mold silicone based on the texture, shape, and size of the produced product.
Of course, some silicone molds are designed for specific usage areas, and ordinary silicone molds are difficult to meet their requirements. Personalized adjustments need to be made according to the product properties. Special silicone molds made of silicone can meet the needs and extend their service life.
