Reusable Mould Material - Lowers the cost of moulds for casting

This rubberlike material turns into a low-viscosity liquid when heated above its melting point of 55°C. It is non-toxic and biodegradable.

Used for:

It is used as a pourable mould material to make moulds for casting polyurethane, epoxy, concrete, soap, chocolate, and other materials. It is often used instead of thermosetting silicone, which is a single-use material. The reusable mould material can dramatically lower the cost of experiments and small-quantity moulding.

Details:

It can be heated in a microwave. The material can be re-melted to form new moulds up to 35 times. There are variants of the material with different hardnesses and a variant that is safe for food contact. The manufacturer does not disclose what the material is made from, but it is probably based on gelatin and glycerin.

Idea:

Use the material to reduce the cost of moulding parts for customised prostheses.

The sample:

You get a moulded disc as seen on the product picture. You can melt the sample in the microwave.

All samples come with a laminated information card, which includes contact details for the supplier.
