Product Overview
This specialized Industrial mold silicone rubber is designed to address the core needs of stone and cement molding, with a special anti-alkali formula that can resist the corrosion of cement and concrete, ensuring long-term stable use. It is a two-component flowable liquid product, consisting of Part A (silicone base) and Part B (curing agent), which can be cured at room temperature without the need for additional heating equipment. Its moderate viscosity balances fluidity and stability, enabling it to fully fill the gaps of stone carvings and capture all delicate texture details. Suitable for both pouring and brushing molding methods, it can adapt to small stone crafts, medium-sized garden sculptures and large architectural cement components, providing reliable molding solutions for stone factories, cement product manufacturers, landscape engineering companies and sculpture studios.

Product Features & Advantages
Special anti-alkali formula effectively resists the corrosion of cement and concrete, avoiding mold aging and damage, and greatly extending the service life of molds. High tensile and tear strength can withstand the weight of wet cement and stone materials, preventing mold tearing during demolding. Excellent fluidity ensures that the silicone can fully fill the tiny gaps of stone carvings and textures, realizing high-fidelity replication of natural stone details. Non-stick surface design enables easy demolding, without damaging the surface of cast stone and cement products, reducing defective rates. Low shrinkage ensures that the size of the mold is stable, and the cast products have consistent dimensions, improving production efficiency. Good weatherability, UV-resistant and water-resistant, suitable for outdoor stone and cement mold production and long-term use. Dual curing systems can meet the different needs of buyers, with condensation type for cost-saving mass production and platinum type for high-performance and long-service-life requirements.
How to Use the Product
Method 1: Pouring Molding (Suitable for Small Stone/Cement Crafts)
Step 1: Prepare the stone or cement prototype and molding frame, fix the prototype firmly, and seal all gaps to avoid silicone leakage.
Step 2: According to the selected curing system, weigh the silicone base (Part A) and curing agent (Part B) in the recommended ratio, and stir evenly for 3-5 minutes to ensure full mixing.
Step 3: Perform vacuum defoaming for 2-3 minutes to eliminate air bubbles generated during mixing, ensuring the smoothness of the mold surface.
Step 4: Slowly pour the mixed silicone into the molding frame, ensuring that all texture details of the prototype are fully covered.
Step 5: Cure at room temperature (25℃) for 4-8 hours, demold gently after full curing, and then use the mold for stone or cement casting.
Method 2: Brushing Molding (Suitable for Large Stone Components)
Step 1: Clean the surface of the large stone prototype, fix the molding frame, and apply a thin layer of silicone evenly on the prototype surface to cover all details.
Step 2: Embed glass fiber cloth on the first layer of silicone for reinforcement, ensuring the mold has sufficient toughness.
Step 3: Brush 2-3 more layers of mixed silicone, each layer with a thickness of 1-2mm, until the required mold thickness is reached.
Step 4: Cure at room temperature (25℃) for 6-8 hours, demold carefully, and fully cure for 24 hours before formal use.
Application Scenarios
Widely used for mold making of natural stone carving replication, architectural cement components, garden stone sculptures, concrete decorative parts, plaster crafts, municipal stone facilities and cultural relic restoration. It is suitable for stone processing factories, cement product manufacturers, landscape engineering companies, sculpture studios and cultural relic restoration institutions. This product can improve the detail restoration rate of stone and cement products, reduce the frequency of mold replacement, shorten the production cycle, and help buyers reduce production costs while improving product quality and market competitiveness.
