Ceramic mold material.

Ceramic mold making opens up endless potential for creative expression. The pattern is then removed and the mold is left to dry. Environmolds specializes in mold making and casting materials including high quality alginate impression materials that are environmentally safe. Not only does ceramic mold making enable you to repeat a form over and over again it also makes individual forms lose their preciousness which frees you up to experiment more.

Molten metal is poured into the ceramic mold through sprues or pathways and then once the metal has solidified into the shape of the mold the ceramic mold is cracked away and processing of the metal continues toward the final device. Ceramic mold casting also known ambiguously as ceramic molding is a group of metal casting processes that use ceramics as the mold material. Create your own unique forms from clay and surfaces then easily repeat them over and over again. You can always count on environmolds for healthier safer art supplies every time.

You re just a bisque fire away from getting started. This slurry is poured over the casting pattern and let set. A mixture of fine grain zircon zrsio 4 aluminum oxide fused silica bonding agents and water creates a ceramic slurry. The first step in manufacture by ceramic mold casting is to combine the material for the mold.

The shaw process and the unicast process. Before the invention of plaster or styrofoam the main mold making material was bisque fired clay.
