Why does the mold appear oily?

The silicone itself does not emit oil. Oil is caused by adding composite silicone oil (silicone oil mixed with white mineral oil) during operation.

Why does the silicone mold have traces, streaks, and unevenness on the surface?

This occurs if the original model is not ground or polished, or if the release agent is not applied evenly. The mold replicates the surface condition of the model.

What are the wonderful usages of mold silicone?

Used in toy, gift, furniture, character reproduction, building decoration, resin crafts, candle making, plastic toys, gypsum crafts, glass products, and sculpture industries.

AI-Powered supplier vetting

SummaryDongguan Gangtian Polymer Materials Co., Ltd. is identified as a China-based manufacturer of silicone and polymer materials, established in 2011, with 59 employees and a 6,000 m² manufacturing plant. Its product portfolio includes RTV 2 silicone rubber, LSR, silicone oil, silicone ink, pigments, and electronic potting compounds. The supplier reports more than 10 production lines and annual capacities totaling 6,900 tons across listed products, as well as exports since 2016 with 21%–30% of sales from exports. It holds an ISO 9001:2015 certificate and reports six R&D engineers and six to ten quality-control staff. The information supports strengths in certification, product breadth, production scale, and international market experience. However, the provided evidence does not sufficiently establish financial credibility, customization capability, or specific customer cases. After-sales capability is indicated by a stated focus on after-service but is not documented in operational detail.

Supplier typeThe supplier is explicitly identified as a manufacturer and as a professional manufacturer of RTV 2 liquid silicone rubbers. Its company type is also described as a limited company, with operations in Dongguan, Guangdong, China.

CertificationsThe supplier holds an ISO 9001:2015 certificate for supplier management systems. This is explicit evidence of a formal quality-management certification.

R&D capabilityThe supplier describes an R&D focus on innovation, reports six R&D engineers, and states that it has developed performance-enhancing silicone solutions. These statements support an established R&D function, although no patents, laboratories, or quantified R&D results are provided.

Production capacityThe supplier reports more than 10 production lines, a 6,000 m² manufacturing plant, and product capacities of 2,500 tons each for tin and platinum silicone rubber, 1,000 tons for silicone oil, 800 tons for electronic potting compound, and 100 tons for pigment. It also states production capacity above 500 tons per month, indicating substantial manufacturing capability.

Product Q&A

Q:Why can the silicone mold be reused only for a few times?

Reasons include adding too much silicone oil which destroys molecular weight, adding too much catalyst (more than 2% for condensation cure) which reduces tension, or using wrong hardness for the design size.

Q:Why does the silicone mold get burnt out?

This happens when using unsaturated resin which produces great heat. You must demould the product within 3 minutes. Our rubber includes special materials to resist high temperatures.

Q:Why does the silicone mould appear to be dry outside but wet inside?

This is due to condensation silicone rubber absorbing moisture from air. Solution: Add 0.05% water into the rubber and stir briefly at low speed before use.

Q:Why is the tear strength of silicone molds weak?

Three reasons: 1) Excessive silicone oil reduces strength. 2) Too much catalyst (recommend no more than 5%, ideally 2%). 3) Using the mold prematurely before 24 hours of curing.

Q:Why does the mold silicone have poor tension?

Adding large amounts of silicone oil to reduce viscosity makes the rubber too soft, resulting in poor tensile strength, short service life, and fewer mold turnovers.
