SPI Supplies® Brand UV Transparent Silicone Embedding Molds

Use with UV curing resins



The SPI Supplies® Brand UV Transparent Silicone Embedding Molds are formulated with a special silicone formulation that is UV transparent. Since it lacks the stabilizers that make the maroon SPI silicone embedding molds chemical and heat resistant, they will most definitely not last as long as the maroon molds and in some instances, can only be used once or twice.

Some resins, such as L R White™, require the exclusion of oxygen for the resin block to properly cure. We have found that the best way to accomplish the exclusion of oxygen is to (literally) overfill the cavities, and then place another clear silicone mold directly on top, with its "bottom" in contact with the "top" of the original mold. Because of the overfilling of the cavities, capillary action causes the "over fill" literally to "flow" into the space separating the two molds, with surface tension forces holding them together, and at the same time, sealing out oxygen.
