Description

TFC Troll Factory - your reliable partner for mould making with silicone, alginate and latex of all kinds.

Troll Factory was founded in 2006 by Rainer Habekost as a trading company for games and craft supplies. In 2011, specialization in mould making followed. Years of know-how and the experience with craftsmen and model makers in the theme area of impressions and reproduction makes Troll Factory the optimal contact partner in demanding mould construction. In addition to the production and sale of your own product range, individual shapes are also made especially for you on request.

Quality made in Germany.

Popular Applications:

Model and mould making.
Prototyping and industrial applications.
Food impressions.
Candle and soap mould.
Plaster and concrete casting.
Cast tin

Silicone rubber from Troll Factory.

Features and benefits:

Silicone is ideal for making reusable molds. The extremely stable, yet flexible material can be used particularly well in mould and model making. Thanks to the beneficial properties of silicone rubber, even complex objects with multi-dimensional undercuts are perfectly reproducible with great attention to detail.

Do it yourself! Make your own silicone moulds and models.

Silicone molds can be made quickly and easily by yourself. The liquid silicone consisting of two components is mixed in the specified mixing ratio and then poured into the intended shape over the object to be duplicated. After curing, the mould can then be poured out with the appropriate casting compound.

Important criteria for choosing the right silicone type


Properties before processing. Mixing ratio - equal to (1:1) or uneven (e.g. 100:2 or 100:5) Viscosity - Need a liquid, pasty or kneadable silicone? What kind of silicone processing is provided? Processing time - what size does the object to be moulded and you may need a little more time?	Features after processing. Shore Hardness - Need a soft, medium or hard silicone mould? Can the shape hold the planned casting compound? Colour/translucence - translucent silicones can be a possible difference in the moulding of large models. Makes cutting the shape easier. Tear resistance – Stable self-supporting shapes for larger models or highly flexible shapes for better demoulding when undercutting?	Method of use: Heat resistance: the silicone mould must be able to withstand the heat of the selected casting material for a short time. What material should the object be made of? Casting compound - plaster, concrete, ceramic, casting resin, wax, soap mass, tin, sugar, fondant, chocolate - which silicone is best suited for which casting compound?

TFC silicone rubber type 3.

Silicone rubber type 3 is particularly suitable for pouring with low-melting metals such as tin and lead.

Areas of application:

Impressions of original models made of wood, glass, metal, wax, ceramic casting compounds and plastics, pouring with low-melting metals such as tin and lead, casting ammunition and sinking lead, production of tin soldiers and lead insulates, chess figures etc. Jewellery pieces with pure pewter miniatures and play figures for tabletop games, moulding compound for models in industry and hobbies.

Application materials:

Water soluble casting materials: TFC xyrarock, stewalin, plastalin super, keraflott or plaster, ceramin, alabit, modelling and model building plaster, casting stone, cement, concrete, etc.

Special Note:

When pouring low-melting metals, ensure absolute dryness of the mould. A treatment of the mould with the release agent and fluid talcum is recommended.

Selecting the right silicone rubber type.

How it works!

For the production of silicone moulds, you must first determine what you want to duplicate and which casting material the item will consist of. This is of great importance as there are different types of silicone with different degrees of hardness and flexibility. Heat resistance is also an important factor. Please pay attention to the areas of application and the individual product characteristics of the silicone in the respective descriptions.

How it works!

After selecting the appropriate silicone, the following materials should be provided: Moulding frame, plasticine, moulding object, filling container, wooden spoon (etc. ), scale, separating vaseline, brush and a knife. Place them within easy reach due to low processing times. The moulding frame should then be aligned so that there is at least 2 cm gap between the frame and object. For sealing a layer of non-hardening modelling clay (e.g. plasticine) rolled out on the base plate, existing gaps in the corners must be additionally sealed. The object can then be brush in with a separating vaseline and pressed into the ground and fixed in place.

Pour silicone in the moulding frame with an object inside.

How it works!

The selected silicone is then stirred in the mixing ratio specified by the manufacturer (usually 1:1 by weight proportions). With a scale you can then mix the base (A) and the catalyst (B) in the specified mixing ratio. Both components are then approx. Mix thoroughly for 1 minute to create a homogeneous mass. Then the silicone is poured evenly into the prepared moulding frame.

The result of the silicone mould and further processing of silicone moulds.

How it works!

Last step is curing. Here, the silicone must be used in the time specified by the manufacturer, usually Cure fully at 23°C. After final hardening, the frame and the plasticine can be removed. With a soft silicone, the moulding object can be easily removed from the mould. If you have chosen a medium-hard silicone, cutting with a knife may be necessary. The resulting gap can be closed with the help of a rubber when pouring later. The hardened silicone mould can now be poured out with different casting compounds. These differ again according to the selected silicone rubber type. These are e.g. Ceramic, plaster, concrete, pewter, food, etc.
