Design Boldly
Silicone’s viscoelastic properties enable advanced moldability, including the formation of negative draft angles without mechanical damage during demolding. Its low viscosity and high flow rate facilitate complete cavity fill, even in micro-featured geometries and complex undercuts. These characteristics make silicone ideal for applications requiring high dimensional accuracy and intricate surface replication.
