How does liquid silicone solidify quickly?

How does liquid silicone solidify quickly? Waiting for a long curing time after liquid silicone injection and brushing is uncomfortable, which not only reduces work efficiency but also increases uncertainty.

So how can liquid silicone solidify quickly? Liquid silicone is divided into condensed silicone and additive silicone. The general ratio range of condensed silicone is 100:2 curing agent, but we can add more curing agents to reach a range of 100:2-5 to accelerate curing. Adding silicone is a 1:1 curing agent for silicone, which can be heated and cured. For example, placing the silicone mold to be cured in a 90 degree Celsius oven for 5-10 minutes can complete the curing process.

In addition, when we purchase liquid silicone, we can notify the manufacturer to adjust the curing time, such as 12 hours to 1 day. However, determining the solidification time of liquid silicone also requires attention. Compared to our flipped mold, which has a larger size and complex texture, we need a silicone with a longer curing time because a shorter curing time is not enough to replicate its fine texture, and the lifespan is relatively short, so we cannot flip the mold multiple times, Silicone with a short curing time is more suitable for small silicone molds, such as biscuits, chocolates, cement planters, etc., while silicone with a long curing time is suitable for large silicone molds, such as antique brick carvings, tires, complex machinery, or bronze vessels.

So even if liquid silicone solidifies quickly, it is necessary to choose its curing time based on its own conditions, and do not give up the quality of the silicone mold due to rush work.
