Why does silicone rubber stick to the mold?

When using silicone rubber or making mold with silicone rubber, you will more or less encounter silicone rubber sticking to the mold! No matter what material your mold is made of, it will stick to the mold to varying degrees! He and aluminum mold, copper mold, steel mold, glass fiber reinforced plastic mold will have a certain degree of adhesion!

Then why does it stick to the mold?

First of all, the liquid silicone rubber is a kind of dry and oily gel, and the silicone rubber made is dry and smooth. There is no oily isolation layer between the liquid silicone rubber and the mold surface, and it will adhere to the mold to varying degrees.

Secondly, if the surface of your mold is not smooth enough, the rougher the surface, the firmer it will be! The more firmly he sticks to your mold!

Also, if something on your mold reacts with silicone rubber, it will stick to the mold! Finally, when the silicone rubber is not completely solidified, it will stick to the mold! Do not remove the mold until it is completely cured!

How can we avoid this phenomenon and how can we solve it? Here are some ways to learn!

First, to prevent mold sticking, first of all, you should clean the mold before using it. When cleaning, you can use clean water and detergent. If you can't clean it, you'd better use Tianna water, alcohol, white electric oil, etc

Second, make the mold as smooth as possible, as long as the contact surface with silicone is smooth!

Third, do not use substances that will react with silicone rubber as silicone rubber molds.

Fourth, wait for the silicone rubber to completely solidify before taking the mold!
