HONG YE SILICONE Silicone for Marble Resin Arts Molding is a high-quality RTV 2 Silicone Rubber, specially developed for marble resin art creation, GRC casting, and food-grade mold manufacturing. As a two-part liquid silicone, it boasts excellent transparency, almost no shrinkage, and strong tear resistance, and has obtained FDA approval to ensure safe contact with food. Its adjustable hardness and good chemical resistance make it suitable for rapid prototyping and long-lasting art mold production, providing perfect detail replication and stable performance for artists and manufacturers around the world.
Product Overview
This industrial Mold Making Silicone is a two-component product, with part A being a flowable liquid and part B being a curing agent. It is available in two curing systems: platinum cure (Q-series) and condensation cure. Designed specifically for marble resin arts molding, it is excellent at reproducing complex textures, fine details and architectural structures. Its main advantages are high dimensional stability and non-deformability, which can ensure the consistency and precision of resin art, concrete and PU castings. The food-safe and odorless formula makes it applicable to both artistic and food-related fields, becoming a reliable Industrial mold silicone rubber for various B2B customers.

Product Features & Advantages
Our Q-series platinum cure silicone cures quickly and cleanly, with high transparency, which is very suitable for high-transparency marble resin molds and precision prototyping. Its almost nil shrinkage and excellent dimensional stability can accurately replicate the delicate details of marble art, GRC and concrete, avoiding warping and size deviation. The strong tear strength can resist wear and shear, allowing hundreds of repeated molding cycles, thus reducing material costs and improving production efficiency. It has broad chemical resistance, can resist the erosion of aggressive resin components, PU and concrete, and is a versatile Mold Silicone for various casting materials. It is fully FDA approved, odorless and non-toxic, suitable for food-grade mold making. It can work stably in the temperature range of -60°C to 200°C, adapting to high-temperature casting and long-term aging environments.
Core Operation Steps
Step 1: Prepare the model. Thoroughly clean the master model and molding tools to prevent cure inhibition, which is very important for platinum cure silicone. Avoid contact with tin cure silicone, sulfur, sulfide, amine compounds and pewter flux.
Step 2: Weigh and mix. Accurately measure part A and part B according to the ratio of 1:1 or 10:1, and stir slowly and evenly to avoid generating air bubbles.
Step 3: Defoam. Vacuum the mixture for 2-3 minutes to remove trapped air bubbles. If there is no vacuum machine, pour the mixture slowly along the edge of the mold frame.
Step 4: Prepare the mold. Surround the model with plastic or wooden plates, and brush a layer of release agent (such as detergent or soapy water) to facilitate demolding.
Step 5: Pour and cure. Pour the defoamed silicone into the mold frame, and let it cure completely at room temperature to get an FDA-approved mold.
Application Scenarios
Core applications: marble resin arts molding, GRC and concrete casting, PU resin art production, high-precision rapid prototyping (including urethane casting, vacuum casting). Food-grade applications: safe for making food molds, such as chocolate, candy and other food crafts. Industrial applications: prototyping of toys, shoe molds and architectural decorations, as well as the production of durable art molds for resin artists. This product can achieve perfect detail replication, reduce waste through long mold service life, and meet food safety standards, which is a cost-effective choice for B2B buyers in art, manufacturing and food industries.
Certifications and Compliance
Our silicone for marble resin arts molding has FDA certification for food-grade safety, meets ISO 9001 quality management system standards, and complies with international environmental protection regulations. As a Platinum cured mold silicone, it meets strict industrial safety and performance standards, ensuring reliability for global buyers.
Customization Options
Curing system: Customers can choose platinum cure (Q-series, high transparency) or condensation cure silicone according to their production needs. Hardness adjustment: The hardness can be adjusted by adding an appropriate amount of silicone oil to make soft or hard molds (excessive addition should be avoided). Packaging: Flexible packaging options, from 1kg trial drums to 200kg bulk drums, suitable for small artisans and large manufacturers. Additives: The fluidity, curing speed or release performance can be adjusted according to the specific needs of resin art or prototyping.
FAQ
Q1: Is this silicone safe for contact with food?
A1: Yes, our product has obtained FDA approval, is non-toxic and odorless, and is very suitable for making food-grade molds.
Q2: Why is it necessary to thoroughly clean the model?
A2: Platinum cure silicone (Q-series) is easy to have cure inhibition. Contact with tin silicone, sulfur, amines or pewter flux will prevent it from curing normally, so the model surface must be clean. Q3: Can the hardness of the silicone be adjusted?
A3: Yes, the hardness can be adjusted by adding silicone oil. However, it is not allowed to add too much, otherwise it will reduce the strength and durability of the silicone.
Q4: What is the shelf life of this silicone?
A4: When stored unopened in a cool and dry place below 32°C, the shelf life is 12 months.
Q5: Is this silicone suitable for rapid prototyping?
A5: Yes, its high transparency, precise replication ability and fast curing speed make it very suitable for rapid prototyping, urethane casting and silicone tooling applications.
