The best silicone for mold-making depends on the type of project and the materials being cast. Generally, platinum-cured silicone and tin-cured silicone are the two most commonly used types.
Platinum-Cured Silicone: This type is highly durable, flexible, and offers excellent detail reproduction. It’s ideal for food-safe applications, medical uses, and long-lasting molds.
Tin-Cured Silicone: More cost-effective, tin-cured silicone is great for short-term molds but has a shorter lifespan compared to platinum-cured options.
For applications that require flexibility and precision, rubber edge molding made from high-quality silicone rubber ensures smooth, detailed molds with superior tear resistance. Whether you’re making molds for resin casting, food-grade applications, or industrial parts, choosing the right silicone ensures durability and performance.
