Molding Silicone Rubber for Candle Making

There are a lot of candle molds, for example, DIY, candle crafts mould and molds used in production. Material of candle molds are various, aluminum, stainless steel, plastic, copper, gypsum, silicone rubber, and so on. Candle mold making silicone is RTV-2 silicone rubber material of condensation cured type, which is composed of A component and B component. It has many characteristics of liquidity, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, high tensile and tear strength and little shrinkage. It is dedicated to the candle crafts mould manufacturing.   Our company provides superior silicone raw materials for candle molds. HY-6 series and HY-7 series are low viscosity, good fluidity, long life expectancy and high tensile and tear. Different product models can be for your selection. For example, HY-620, HY-625, HY-628, HY-638, HY-640, HY-718, HY-728, and HY-738 with different hardness, colors, viscosity, tear-strength, tensile strength and elongation are all meet your different requirements!   Method of molding silicone rubber for candle making: 1. Prepare the right amount liquid silicone according to the size the of mold, and mix it evenly with the curing agent at the mixing ratio of 100 : 2 under room temperature 25℃. 2. Choose a perfect original candle model, manually polish and smooth the model, and clean it and dry it. 3. The original candle model surrounded by four wooden board, and wood should also be treated with a release agent. It is the best for the middle of the gap is 2 - 4 cm. 4. Then take the mixed silicone to de-air to remove the bubbles (The standard is subject to the manometer shows -0.1). 5. Take out the de-aired silicone and pour it into the mold frame slow. 6. Pour the 1000g watered gypsum powder into wooden box and filled up the batten box (wooden frame should be divided into two parts with a plastic sheet to facilitate form removal). 7. You can dismantle batten after 20 minutes, then the mold is complete.     Matters needing attention: 1. In order to prevent the physical properties of candle mold making silicone is change, we recommend that you do not add silicone oil to adjust softness and fluidity. If you require softer or better mobility than the grades of products, please contact us. 2. The amount of the curing agent should be depended on the temperature, if the temperature is high, the proportion of the curing agent is necessary to be reduced. The dosage of catalyst is too much, the candle mold can become hard and brittle; while, the ratio of curing agent is too small, the operation time will be extended. If you need to extend or shorten the operation time, in principle, we recommend that you do not take less or more curing agent, in this situation you can contact with our company to obtain a new preparation of curing agent. 3. In general, the candle mold can be put into production after eight hours. For your mold can achieve the best effect of use, please put the measurement for at least 24 hours. 4. If this prototype perfused belongs to the silicon-containing materials such as ceramic, it is best to spray the paint on the prototype in order to easy to demould.   Storage and transportation: 1. Molding silicone rubber for candle making should be sealed storage, and put it in a cool place. It can not be exposed to rain and the sun exposure, otherwise easily lead to deterioration. 2. This product is transported in the category of non-dangerous goods. 3. The shelf life: 6 months in proper storage conditions. After expiry, it can be re-used if it is re-checked to be qualified.   Shenzhen Hong Ye Jie Technology Co., Ltd. is recognized as the global leading in the manufacturer of high quality silicone rubber products in an unsurpassed variety of RTV-2 silicone, HTV silicone rubber, LSR, etc. Our company provides the silicone raw materials for candle molds.
