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 does 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 again, 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 molds, which have a larger size and complex texture, we need silicone with a longer curing time. Short curing time is not enough to replicate its fine texture, and the lifespan is also relatively short, so it cannot be flipped multiple times. Short curing time silicone is more suitable for small silicone molds, such as cookies, chocolates, cement pots, etc., while long curing time silicone is suitable for large silicone molds, such as antique brick carvings, tires, complex machinery, or bronze vessels.
