Choosing the right material and size for a mold

This section covers molds in different materials and purposes: plastic, silicone, metal and paper. Molds are used by formulators and manufacturers for casting soap, candles, chocolate, ice, sweets and baked goods, a versatile piece of equipment rather than a formulation ingredient.

Material and rigidity are chosen based on the item being made: for example items from the Silicone forms section suit flexible release of a finished item, while Silicone Molds are often chosen for small decorative details.

Varieties and how they differ

Plastic molds are more rigid and hold their shape when hot mixtures are poured, while silicone molds release the finished item easily thanks to the material flexibility. There are specialised items too, such as bath bomb molds for dense pressed mixtures and plastic soap molds for simpler poured items.

Silicone baking molds are rated for oven temperatures and differ from decorative molds in wall thickness. Candle molds are usually more rigid than silicone soap molds since wax sets at a higher temperature.

Selection and compatible items

Choosing a mold depends on the item being made: soap, candles, chocolate or baked goods each suit different materials and wall thickness. For small decorative elements the Plungers and Cutters section is useful, while candles have their own Candle Molds section.

Popular specific items include the Massager mold, the Lovers mold and the flip flop mold for simple items, along with figural options such as the Monkey mold and the Kid in cabbage mold for decorative items.

Storage and care

Plastic and silicone molds are stored in a dry place, silicone molds should not be exposed to sudden temperature swings with frequent use, which extends the mold service life. After pouring coloured or scented mixtures it is worth rinsing the mold right away to avoid staining the material.

FAQ

What are molds in this section used for?

Molds are used for casting soap, candles, chocolate, ice, sweets and baked goods, material and rigidity are chosen based on the item and the temperature of the mixture poured.

How does a silicone mold differ from a plastic one?

A silicone mold is flexible and releases the finished item easily, a plastic mold is more rigid and holds its shape better when hot mixtures are poured.

Can one mold be used for different items?

It depends on the temperature of the mixture, candle molds are usually more rigid than soap molds since wax sets at a higher temperature.

Do you provide documentation for molds?

COA and SDS documents are primarily relevant for formulation raw materials, but quality certificates for equipment including molds can be requested as well.

How should silicone molds be cared for?

Store in a dry place, avoid sudden temperature swings with frequent use, and rinse right away after pouring coloured or scented mixtures.

Can I order a trial batch of molds before a larger order?

Yes, orders are placed by email and volume is arranged individually, from a single trial mold to a large batch, assembly takes three to five business days.

Recommendations

When choosing a mold, material, the temperature of the mixture and ease of releasing the finished item matter as much as the design. Mylo Opt has supplied molds and equipment for formulators and manufacturers for over twelve years and assembles orders within three to five business days. Place your order by email with the models and quantities you need.
