Product detail:

Introduction of RTV Silicone for Statue Mould Making 

 

RTV Silicone is a two-component material, this kind of silicone consists of Part A base silicone and Part B CA30 curing agent, and Part A base silicone and Part B curing agent can cure at room temperature by a condensation reaction. These materials can be cast into the cured silicone molds: plaster polyurethane, PU, GRC, cement, resin, polyester, wax etc...

 

Features of RTV Silicone for Statue Mould Making 

 

1. Good flow ability and long working time

2. Medium hardness

3. High tear and tensile strength

4. Easy de-mould from complex replica parts

5. Acid and alkali-resistance

6. Low linear shrinkage

 

Applications of RTV Silicone for Statue Mould Making 

    

RTV Silicone for Statue Mould Making can be also applied in the field of reproducing cement molding, concrete stones, artificial stones, plaster molding, figures, art objects, decoration molding, GRC products, gypsum products, resin products, PU molds. Etc.

  

Instructions for Making Silicone molds 

 

1. Preparing

 

The surface of the original objects should be clean and free of loose material. If your products have thin flower patterns, and especially have porous substrates, please use a suitable mold release agent such as soap water, detergent, Vaseline or petroleum jelly.

  

2. Mixing

 

Please weigh Part A silicone base and part B CA30 Curing Agent with ratio of 100:2 into a clean container. Stir Part A base silicone thoroughly before use, then Mix Part A and Part B evenly until the curing agent completely dispersed in the silicone base. Manual or mechanical mixture can be used, but do not last much time or allow the temperature to exceed 35°C (95°F).it’s suitable to mix small quantities to ensure thorough mixture of silicone base and curing agent.

 

Note: It is strongly recommended that entrapped air be removed in a vacuum chamber, allowing the mixture to completely expand and then collapse. After a further 1 to 2 minutes under vacuum, the mixture 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.

  

3. Pouring and curing

 

Pour the mixed Part A base silicone and CA-30 curing agent as soon as possible onto the original object, avoiding air entrapment. The catalyzed material will cure to a flexible rubber within 6 hours (or faster by different mixing ratio or room temperature), we advice you de-mold after 24 hours, it is will improve the replicate times of silicone mold.

   

Storage of RTV Silicone for Statue Mould Making 

 

When the RTV Silicone is stored at or below 30 °C(85 °F) in the original unopened containers, RTV-2 Silicone Base and CA30 Curing agent have a usable life of 12 months from the date of production. After 12 months,please use a stirring mill to stir the Part A silicone for some minutes, then the silicone can be use again, no influence for other performance.

 

FOQ of RTV-2 Silicone Rubber for Mold Making

 

 

Why does the RTV liquid silicone rubber for molding have few mold making times?

 

The silicone rubber mold has few molding times is due to follwoing reasons: adding too much silicone oil which will destroy the molecular of silicone rubber; making the mold for small and fine detailed products with higher hardness silicone rubber which is easy to break; making the mold for large products with soft silicone rubber which will reduce the tensile and tear strength of the mold, and the mold will have deformation. Thus, we should take the proper silicone rubber to make the mold for suitable products
