Condensation Cure Two-part Silicone Liquid Rubber for Making
Manufactured Stone Molds
Product Description
Silicone liquid rubber is called Tin cure silicone rubber which is
also called condensation-cure silicone mold rubber, these are
high-tear silicone mold rubbers that are known as the “work horse”
of the industry because of their performance and economy. Tin cured
silicone molds are used for casting wax, cement, gypsum, polymer
modified gypsum, resins, etc.

Instruction of RTV-2 silicone liquid rubber:
How to make the silicone mold?
The surface of the original should be clean and free of loose
material. If your productswith thin flower patterns, and especially
with porous substrates, please use a suitable mold release agent
such as soap water, detergent, Vaseline or petroleum jelly.
1.Mixing
Please weight 100 Part A base and 2 parts of Curing Agent in a
clean container.Thoroughly stir Part A base silicone before use, as
filler separation may occur upon prolonged storage. Mixing Part A
and Part B evenly until the CA30 completely dispersed in the base.
Hand or mechanical mixing can be used, but do not for an extended
period of time or allow the temperature to exceed 35C (95F). Mix
suitably small quantities to ensure thorough mixing of base and
curing agent.
It is strongly recommended that entrapped air be removed in a
vacuum chamber, allowingthe mix to completely expand and then
collapse. After a further 1-2 mins under vacuum,the mix 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 chosenPouring the
2.mixture and curing
Pour the mixed Part A base silicone and part B the curing agent as
soon as possible onto the original, 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 and Precautions of silicone liquid rubber:
RTV-2 silicone rubber for making art crafts, which is an
environmentally-friendly liquid silicone product, is not easy to
burn and can be stored and transported as non-hazardous goods. The
shelf life of the product is about one year from the date of production. Inspection is required when exceeding
the time limited. It can continue to be used in case of neither
thickening nor deterioration.
Package of RTV-2 Silicone Rubber
Part A base silicone: 20kg,25kg/drum or 200kg/drum
Part B CA30 Curing Agent: 800g/bottle, 1kg/bottle
Why does the silicone rubber mold have few molding 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.
