Prolong the shelf life of your silicone mould

The shelf life of your silicone mold is up to three factors as following :

1, The quality of silicone rubber
Good quality silicone rubber need to has higher tear-strength and tensile-strength, and the silicone mold will be not oily .

While for poor quality silicone rubber, the silicone mold will be oily and it is easily to tear it up.

2,The molding skill
We can just use the mold after the silicone cured fully , the mold is easy to broken if the silicone not cured fully,and If the mold

has bubble,it also affect the lifetime of the mold , so we have to release the bubble by vacuum when making the mold. So we always suggest our customers to use the silicone mold after 24 hours.

3,The hardness of the silicone rubber

If do small decorative pattern more complex products, with high hardness of silicone rubber to make molds, it can appear the phenomenon of fewer rolling over, because the silicone mold will be very fragile, easily broken. On the contrary,if make building products with small hardness of silicone rubber to do the mold, the results also is not satisfied.
