Product Features & Advantages
Ultra-low viscosity with exceptional flowability ensures perfect replication of exquisite details and intricate patterns. Excellent self-deaeration property eliminates bubbles, reducing post-processing efforts. Outstanding thermal resistance (-65°C to 350°C) and high thermal conductivity make it suitable for high-temperature 3D printing processes. High tear strength and low shrinkage (<0.1% for platinum cure) guarantee durable, precise molds with multiple duplication cycles. Superior resistance to inhibition, polyester resins, and concrete extends mold lifespan. Non-oily, non-sticky formulation with outstanding release properties simplifies demolding. FDA-certified platinum cure variant is non-toxic, odorless, and safe for food-contact applications.
Core Operation Steps
Step 1: Prepare the 3D printing model or master pattern, ensuring it is clean and free of impurities. Step 2: Measure the HY-6 series Silicone Base and Curing Agent according to the recommended ratio (typically 1:1 for addition cure). Step 3: Mix the two components thoroughly in one direction to avoid air bubbles, leveraging the product's excellent self-deaeration property. Step 4: Pour the mixed liquid silicone into the 3D printing system or mold frame, allowing it to flow and fill all details. Step 5: Cure at room temperature or apply heat for faster vulcanization; the silicone will be ready for use once fully solidified.
Application Scenarios
Ideal for 3D printing master patterns and precision molds. Suitable for replicating intricate art crafts, architectural elements, garden ornaments, jewelry, and high-precision prototypes. Compatible with various casting materials including polyester resin, PU, PVC, gypsum, plaster, concrete, stone, GRC, wax, and jewelry materials. Provides superior performance for soap, candle, and food-grade mold making (with FDA certification).
