HONG YE SILICONE Silicone for Soap Molds is a professional, high-performance RTV 2 Silicone Rubber, available in industrial-grade (tin cure, Condensation Curing Silicone Mold Rubber) and Food grade mold silicone (platinum cure, Addition Curing Silicone) options. As premium Mold Making Silicone and liquid silicone , it features ultra-low viscosity, exceptional fluidity, low shrinkage (<0.2%), and wide temperature resistance (-65℃ to 350℃). Easy to demold, non-oily and bubble-free, it perfectly replicates fine details for soap molds, while offering cost-effectiveness and safety, helping global B2B buyers improve production efficiency and product quality.
Product Overview
This specialized Molding Silicone Rubber is engineered exclusively for soap mold making, focusing on low viscosity and high fluidity to capture every fine detail of soap designs. It is a two-component liquid product (Part A: base silicone, Part B: curing agent), with dual curing systems to meet diverse buyer needs—industrial-grade for cost-sensitive mass production, and food grade Mold Silicone (platinum cured) for higher safety and longer shelf life. Non-oily and bubble-free, it ensures smooth soap surfaces, while its flexibility enables easy demolding without damaging soaps, making it ideal for soap factories, handmade craft workshops and gift customization enterprises.

Product Features & Advantages
Ultra-low viscosity and exceptional fluidity ensure full filling of mold cavities, perfectly replicating fine patterns and textures for soaps. Dual curing systems: Cost-effective industrial-grade (tin cure) for mass production; food grade mold silicone (platinum cured) for non-toxic, odorless, FDA-certified safety. Non-oily and bubble-free, ensuring smooth soap surfaces and reducing post-processing work. Flexible texture enables easy demolding, no soap damage or pattern distortion. Low shrinkage guarantees consistent soap size and shape across batches. Wide temperature resistance adapts to different soap making processes. Aging, acid and alkali resistance extends mold service life, lowering replacement costs. Our product outperforms competitors in detail fidelity and batch stability.
How to Use the Product
Step 1: Prepare soap prototype and molding frame, fix firmly; apply release agent only for glass/ceramic prototypes.
Step 2: Select industrial or platinum cured silicone, weigh according to recommended ratio, stir evenly for 2-3 minutes.
Step 3: Vacuum defoam for 1-2 minutes to eliminate bubbles (critical for smooth molds).
Step 4: Pour mixed silicone into the frame, ensuring full coverage of all details.
Step 5: Cure at 25℃ for 3-6 hours, demold gently, and use the mold for soap pouring.
Application Scenarios
Primarily used for making molds for all types of soaps (handmade soap, scented soap, shaped soap, decorative soap). Also suitable for mold making of candles, jewelry, resin crafts, plaster products and small ornaments. Ideal for soap factories, handmade craft workshops, gift customization enterprises and cosmetic packaging suppliers. It helps buyers improve soap appearance quality (fine detail replication), reduce defective rates by 25%+, shorten production cycles via easy operation, and lower comprehensive costs through durable mold performance.
Certifications and Compliance
Complies with ISO 9001 quality management system and CE industrial standards. Platinum cured mold silicone is FDA and EU certified, food grade and non-toxic, safe for direct contact with skin and soap ingredients. All formulas meet international chemical transportation and import regulations, supporting smooth cross-border B2B bulk procurement and market access.
Customization Options
Supports viscosity adjustment (for different detail complexities), hardness customization (15-25 Shore A), and curing speed optimization (2-8hrs). Offers color customization for mold identification. Provides formula modification for large-size soap molds. Customizes packaging specifications (small sample jars for testing, large drums for mass production) according to buyer needs.
Production Process
Adopts high-purity Silicone raw materials, undergoes precise proportioning, closed vacuum mixing (to maintain low viscosity and avoid bubbles), multi-index testing (viscosity, shrinkage rate, safety, temperature resistance), automatic filling and sealed packaging. Strict quality inspection for each batch ensures consistent performance. Mature production lines and sufficient inventory guarantee on-time delivery for small-batch and bulk orders.
FAQ
Q1: Is the platinum cured version safe for soap making?
A1: Yes, it’s FDA-certified food grade mold silicone, non-toxic, odorless, safe for direct contact with soap ingredients and skin.
Q2: What’s the difference between industrial and platinum cured silicone?
A2: Industrial-grade is cost-effective for mass production; platinum cured offers better safety, longer shelf life and lower shrinkage.
Q3: Do I need a release agent for soap molds?
A3: No, the non-stick surface enables easy demolding; release agent is only for smooth non-porous prototypes.
Q4: How many times can one mold be reused?
A4: 50-100 times under normal use, thanks to good durability and aging resistance.
Q5: Can it be used for other crafts besides soap?
A5: Yes, it’s versatile for candle, jewelry and resin craft mold making.
