The materials needed to make mold heat transfer silicone mainly include the following:
Silicone: Silicone is the main material for making mold thermal transfer silicone. Silicone has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, good elasticity, etc., which is very suitable for making molds. In the production process, it is necessary to select silicone raw materials with excellent quality and stable performance to ensure the quality and durability of the mold.
Curing agent: Curing agent is a chemical substance used to promote the curing of silicone. Adding an appropriate amount of curing agent to silicone can accelerate the curing process of silicone and form a stable mold structure faster. The selection and use of curing agent need to be determined according to the type of silicone and the requirements of the mold.
Release agent: Release agent is a chemical substance used to prevent adhesion between the mold and the product. When making mold thermal transfer silicone, applying an appropriate amount of release agent can ensure that the product is smoothly removed from the mold to avoid damage to the product and mold. The choice of release agent needs to be determined according to the characteristics of the mold material and the product.
Mold steel: Although mold steel is not directly used to make silicone, it is an important material to support the silicone mold during the mold making process. Choosing high-quality mold steel can ensure the precision and durability of the mold, thereby improving the quality and production efficiency of the product. Common mold steel materials include P20 mold steel and 718 mold steel.
Other auxiliary materials: When making mold thermal transfer silicone, you may also need to use some other auxiliary materials, such as agitators, measuring cups, scrapers, syringes, etc. These tools can help us better mix silicone and curing agent, and evenly apply silicone to the mold steel.
It should be noted that when making mold thermal transfer silicone, in addition to selecting suitable materials, it is also necessary to strictly control parameters such as temperature, humidity and time during the production process to ensure the quality and performance of the mold. At the same time, customized design and production are also required according to specific product requirements and mold characteristics.
