The silicone materials used in the silicone molding process usually have high temperature resistance, which allows them to maintain a stable physical state within a certain temperature range without deformation or damage. In the silicone molding process, commonly used materials such as ABS, PC, PP, PA, etc. have different melting points, but they are all within the temperature resistance range of silicone.
Silicone replica mold
Specifically, here are some melting point references for some common materials:
ABS: Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, its melting point is approximately between 200C and 260C.
PC: Polycarbonate, melting point is approximately 220C to 230C.
PP: Polypropylene, melting point is approximately 160C to 170C.
PA: Nylon, the melting point varies according to different types, generally between 210C and 260C.
In general, silicone replica molding is a process suitable for small-batch customized production, with the characteristics of low cost, short cycle, and high degree of simulation. When selecting materials, in addition to melting point, the specific application and performance requirements of the product should also be considered, as well as the cost and processing conditions of the material.
