Molds for rubber products are specialized, heat-resistant metal containers used to shape raw, soft rubber into final, durable items like tires, shoe soles, or O-rings.
Here is the simple breakdown of what they do:
• Uses Raw Rubber: Unlike plastic which is already melted, raw rubber (which is soft and sticky) is placed inside the mold.
• Heats Up and Forms: The mold is closed tightly and heated under pressure. This process is called vulcanization (or curing), which permanently hardens the soft rubber into a strong, flexible finished product.
• Takes the Shape: The rubber fills every detailed cavity of the mold, taking on its exact shape, texture, and size.
• Mass Production: These molds are engineered to be precise and robust, allowing factories to reliably create millions of identical, tough rubber items very efficiently.
In short, a rubber mold is a heated, high-pressure metal template used to cure soft rubber into its final, durable shape during mass production.
