Resin molds are used in various industries such as making candles. Resin molds are divided into three categories: latex mold, silicone mold and plastic mold, which you will learn more about later.
⏬ Types of resin molds ⏬
◀️ Silicone mold: Silicone resin mold is very flexible and is used for molding rings, necklaces and all kinds of plaques.
◀️ Latex mold: This mold is also flexible like silicone mold. To use a latex resin mold, its hardener material should be more than other materials, and slippery materials should be used to separate the material from the latex mold, because this mold has adhesive properties.
◀️ Plastic mold : In terms of price and quality, the plastic mold is not like other molds and has a lower price. It should be noted that it does not perform well compared to silicone molds and latex molds.
*️- Silicone or latex mold
Silicone resin or latex molds have good flexibility. These types of molds are used in various industries such as cooking, pastry shops, to prepare desserts, etc. It should be noted that if you want to use a mold to use epoxy resin, the silicone mold is the best option, because it is easily available and you can find it in different shapes with high color variation and different sizes. Use a silicone resin mold to mold resins and ornaments. Then, for further decoration, you can use pieces of gold and silver leaf, or dry petals, etc. at the bottom of the wreath mold, and you will see how beautiful it will be at the end. Epoxy latex and silicone resin molds are available in beautiful shapes such as hearts, flowers, moons, stars, etc., which will make your work very beautiful at the end of molding. Using latex and silicone molds, you can also make small table decorations.
*️- Plastic resin mold
Plastic epoxy resin molds are widely available in the market. Small ice trays are made of resin plastic mold. Also, the chocolate holders, which are relatively hard, are also made from plastic resin molds. To separate resin materials in plastic molds, slippery materials such as dishwashing liquid, liquid oils, etc. can be used.
