Imported Resin Jewellery and Embedding
Moulds
|
Normal PVC plastic plaster moulds are
not suitable for casting resin. These moulds are made
from polypropylene plastic which together with polyethylene
represent the two plastics suitable for resin casting.
Both these plastics have a good resistance to the heat
that is generated during the curing process of resin
and also have a greasy type surface which makes the
use of release agents unnecessary. You will find that
resin will release very easily from these moulds due
to the fact that resin shrinks slightly when cured or
hard and a slight tap is usually all that is required
to release your casting. They come from the mould with
a high gloss finish so post polishing is not required.

Aldax Manufactured Plastic Resin
Moulds
|
We have had great difficulty in obtaining
a locally produced polypropylene suitable for vacuum
forming but will continue to test until we obtain a
material that works. Our current moulds are half the
cost of the imported moulds but yield a semi gloss finish
which has to be hand polished if a high gloss finish
is required.

Supercast Latex Chess Moulds

We have imported this range of British
Chess sets which without doubt are the best in the world.
They are suitable for resin casting and could form the
basis of an interesting business opportunity.
