HONG YE SILICONE liquid silicone for 3D Printing, mainly the HY-6 series, is a high-precision Addition Curing Silicone (platinum cure) developed specifically for advanced 3D printing and mold replication tasks. As a reliable Platinum cured mold silicone and liquid silicone, it features ultra-low viscosity, excellent self-deaeration, and remarkable thermal stability. This two-component RTV 2 Silicone Rubber achieves accurate detail reproduction, strong durability, and good compatibility with polyester resins and concretes. With optional FDA food-grade certification, it provides stable, bubble-free performance for global B2B buyers in additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping, and precision casting industries.
Product Overview
Our Liquid Silicone for 3D Printing is a professional addition cure silicone designed to meet the strict requirements of 3D printing and high-precision replication. As a high-quality Liquid Mold Silicone and Rapid prototyping silicone, it can cure at room temperature or under heated conditions, with excellent flowability that captures the most delicate details of 3D models. Compared with ordinary tin-cure silicones, this platinum-cure formula has stronger inhibition resistance, higher thermal conductivity, and more stable long-term performance, making it ideal for 3D printing master patterns, complex molds, and high-temperature casting scenarios.

Product Features & Advantages
Ultra-low viscosity and excellent flowability ensure that the finest details and complex patterns of 3D models are accurately replicated. Excellent self-deaeration performance effectively eliminates air bubbles, reducing post-processing time and improving production efficiency. Outstanding thermal resistance (-65°C to 350°C) and high thermal conductivity make it applicable to various high-temperature 3D printing processes. High tear strength and low shrinkage (<0.1% for platinum cure type) ensure that the molds are durable and precise, supporting multiple replication cycles. Strong resistance to inhibition, polyester resins, and concrete extends the service life of the molds. Non-oily and non-sticky formula with good release properties facilitates easy demolding and avoids damage to finished products. The platinum cure variant with FDA certification is non-toxic and odorless, suitable for food-contact mold making.
Core Operation Steps
Step 1: Prepare the 3D printing master model, clean it thoroughly to remove dust, oil stains and other impurities, ensuring the surface is clean and smooth. Step 2: Measure the HY-6 series silicone base and curing agent according to the recommended ratio (usually 1:1 for addition cure silicone). Step 3: Mix the two components evenly in one direction to reduce air bubbles, and the product’s excellent self-deaeration performance can further eliminate residual bubbles. Step 4: Pour the mixed liquid silicone into the 3D printing system or mold frame, letting it flow naturally to fill all details of the model. Step 5: Cure at room temperature, or heat properly to speed up vulcanization; the silicone can be put into use after it is completely solidified.
Application Scenarios
It is perfect for making 3D printing master patterns and precision molds. Suitable for replicating complex art crafts, architectural components, garden ornaments, jewelry, and high-precision prototypes. Compatible with a variety of casting materials, including polyester resin, PU, PVC, gypsum, plaster, concrete, stone, GRC, wax, and jewelry materials. It performs well in soap, candle, and food-grade mold making (with FDA certification). It provides stable solutions for rapid prototyping, industrial manufacturing, and custom craft production, helping buyers improve product precision, reduce production costs, and enhance work efficiency.
