Product Features & Advantages
1. Precision Detail Replication: Superior fluidity penetrates every tiny gap, perfectly restoring shoe model contours, stitching details, sole textures, and logo patterns, ensuring consistent shoe model accuracy.
2. High Durability: High tensile and tear resistance, supporting 40~70 mold turns, reducing mold replacement costs and improving production efficiency for batch shoe model manufacturing.
3. Flexible Curing: Both room temperature and heat curable, easy to operate, adapting to shoe model prototyping and large-scale mass production.
4. Safe & Non-Toxic: FDA-certified Food grade mold silicone, non-toxic, odorless, complying with global footwear safety standards, suitable for direct contact with shoe materials. 5. Deep Curing: Unaffected by mold thickness, ensuring uniform hardness and stable performance for full-size or half-size shoe models.
6. Full Customization: Color, viscosity, operating time, and curing time can be tailored to match different shoe model designs and production processes.
How to Use
1. Mix Part A and Part B in a 1:1 weight ratio, stirring thoroughly for 2~3 minutes until the mixture is uniform and free of streaks or air bubbles.
2. Perform vacuum degassing on the mixed silicone for 2~5 minutes; adjust time according to silicone viscosity, weight, and vacuum strength to eliminate all bubbles.
3. Pour the degassed silicone slowly into the shoe model master mold frame, ensuring full coverage of the master model without missing any details.
4. Cure at room temperature (4~5 hours) or heat (80~120℃ for tens of minutes) until fully set and firm.
5. Demold gently to avoid damaging the mold, clean the silicone mold, and it’s ready for casting shoe model materials like resin or gypsum.
Application Scenarios
This Liquid Mold Silicone is mainly used for shoe model mold manufacturing, including full-size shoe models, shoe sole molds, shoe upper molds, and shoe accessory molds. It’s also applicable to shoe prototype making, epoxy resin shoe crafts, metal shoe ornament molds, and precision hand板 models for shoe design. It is an essential material for shoe manufacturers, footwear design studios, and custom mold suppliers, helping to accelerate shoe design iteration, ensure consistent model quality, and reduce production costs.
FAQ
1. Can this silicone replicate fine shoe details like stitching and logos? Yes, its excellent fluidity ensures that even the smallest details (such as stitching lines, tiny logos, and sole textures) are clearly and accurately replicated.
2. Is it suitable for all shoe styles? Absolutely, it can be used for molds of sports shoes, leather shoes, boots, casual shoes, and children’s shoes, adapting to different shoe shapes and sizes.
3. How many times can the mold be reused? With high durability, it can be reused 40~70 times, depending on the complexity of the shoe model and usage frequency.
4. Can the curing time be shortened for fast prototyping? Yes, we can customize the formula to shorten curing time, or you can use heat curing to speed up the process and accelerate shoe design iteration.
5. Is it compatible with shoe model casting materials? It is fully compatible with common shoe model materials, including resin, gypsum, and polyester resin; we can also adjust the silicone formula for specific casting materials.
