2. Spin casting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_casting

   The spin casting process typically uses vulcanized silicone or organic rubber as the mold-making substrate. Vulcanization is an integral step that occurs halfway through the mold-making process. Prior to vulcanization, the mold rubber is a soft and malleable solid-like fluid, in many ways very similar to Silly Putty. Because of the clay-like ...

3. RTV silicone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTV_silicone

   If making a brush-on rubber mold, the curing time factor between coats is long (longer than urethanes or polysulfides, shorter than latex). Silicone components (A+B) must be mixed accurately by weight (scale required) or else they do not work. Tin-catalyst silicone shrinks somewhat and does not have a long shelf life.

4. Release agent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release_agent

   The silicone keeps the rubber from sticking to the mold but just as important it lubricates the rubber so it will slide over the hot mold as it is loaded. Diluted silicone typically has to be applied every cycle. Semi-permanent mold release builds a silicone matrix on the mold that becomes a barrier between the rubber and the metal surface of ...

5. Silicone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone

   Two-part silicone systems are used as rubber molds to cast resins, foams, rubber, and low-temperature alloys. A silicone mold generally requires little or no mold-release or surface preparation, as most materials do not adhere to silicone. For experimental uses, ordinary one-part silicone can be used to make molds or to mold into shapes.

6. Injection molding of liquid silicone rubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injection_molding_of...

   Injection molding of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is a process to produce pliable, durable parts in high volume. Liquid silicone rubber is a high purity platinum cured silicone with low compression set, good stability and ability to resist extreme temperatures of heat and cold ideally suitable for production of parts, where high quality is ...

7. Compression molding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_molding

   Compression molding is a method of molding in which the molding material, generally preheated, is first placed in an open, heated mold cavity. The mold is closed with a top force or plug member, pressure is applied to force the material into contact with all mold areas, while heat and pressure are maintained until the molding material has cured; this process is known as compression molding ...
