Hard Silicone Castings

Hard silicone castings are made using high-hardness silicone resins, which provide greater resistance and rigidity compared to traditional softer silicone resins. This type of silicone is particularly appreciated for its durability and dimensional stability, making it ideal for applications that require a rigid and resistant surface. Hard silicone castings are often used in industrial coatings, prototyping modeling, rigid molds, and other DIY projects that require a robust and resistant finish.

Resistant Silicone Castings

Resistant silicone castings are a type of silicone specially formulated to ensure high resistance to mechanical and chemical stresses typical of castings. This material is ideal for creating seals, joints, or coatings that must withstand high pressures, extreme temperatures, or aggressive agents. Thanks to its high resistance, resistant silicone castings are widely used in industrial sectors such as construction, automotive, and electronics. Its specific formulation allows to obtain lasting and reliable results over time, ensuring effective protection against moisture, atmospheric agents, and corrosive chemicals.

How to Obtain Hard Silicone Castings

Hard silicone castings are obtained by accurately mixing epoxy resin with specific hardeners, carefully following the manufacturer's instructions. It is essential to correctly dose the components to ensure the solidity and resistance of the final product. After mixing, pour the materials into molds or specially prepared forms and let them harden for the necessary time. Once complete solidification is reached, hard silicone castings can be extracted from the molds and used for a wide range of applications, such as modeling, prototyping, and artistic creations.

Hardened Silicone Castings Tutorial

Hardened silicone castings can be repaired by following some simple steps. Here's how to proceed: 1. Carefully remove the hardened silicone casting, using a cutter to separate it from the surface. 2. Prepare a mixture of epoxy resin, carefully following the manufacturer's instructions. 3. Apply the resin to the damaged area, making sure to completely fill any holes or cracks. 4. Level the surface with a spatula and let it dry for the recommended time. 5. Once completely hardened, sand the surface to make it smooth and even. By following these steps, it will be possible to successfully and durably repair hardened silicone castings.
