Reusable flexible plastic mixing cups with graduated markings. Available in 400 ml, 650 ml and 1300 ml, individually or as a kit of 6.
Reusable flexible plastic mixing cups with graduated markings for measuring and mixing resins, silicones, rubbers and any mould-making material dosed by volume. Their flexible material makes pouring and cleaning easier, and they withstand multiple uses without losing their shape or graduations.

What it's used for
These cups are designed for workshop use with two-component materials dosed by volume. The graduated markings eliminate the need for a scale when the mix ratio is volumetric, speeding up the process and reducing errors.
- Measuring and mixing polyurethane resins at volumetric ratios
- Preparing condensation and addition silicones
- Measuring liquid rubbers and latex
- Mixing powder materials with liquids (fillers, pigments, plasters)
- Preparing small and medium castings in mould making and special effects
- Use as an auxiliary container during the casting process
How to use it
- Select the cup size appropriate to the volume of material you are going to prepare.
- Pour component A up to the graduated mark corresponding to the part indicated by the material manufacturer.
- Add component B until reaching the total volume calculated according to the mix ratio.
- Mix thoroughly with a spatula, scraping the walls and bottom of the cup well.
- Pour immediately into the mould or into the casting ladle if you need to melt or transfer the material.
- After use, allow the residue to cure, flex the cup to release the solid film and reuse it.
Usage tips
Choose the size according to the job
The 400 ml cup is ideal for short runs and tests. The 650 ml covers most standard workshop mixes. The 1300 ml is more convenient when working with low-ratio materials (higher catalyst volume) or larger castings. The kit of 6 cups is the most cost-effective option if you mix frequently or use several materials at the same time.
Take advantage of the flexible plastic for cleaning
One of the advantages of these cups over rigid ones is that, once the residue of resin or silicone has cured, simply bending and twisting the cup is enough to release the film on its own. You don't need solvents for routine cleaning. For uncured polyurethane residues, act before they gel with a dry cloth or paper.
Combine them with the rest of your dispensing equipment
For precision work with small volumes, complement these cups with a dispensing syringe to measure catalysts in small quantities. If you work with heat-melt materials or need controlled pouring, the casting ladle is the natural complement for transferring material.
Frequently asked questions
Are they suitable for platinum silicones?
Yes. The plastic in these cups is compatible with addition (platinum) silicones. It contains no sulphur or inhibiting components, so it does not interfere with silicone curing.
Can I use these cups for epoxy resins?
Yes, they are suitable for epoxy resins. Bear in mind that epoxy mixes can generate heat (exothermic reaction), especially in large volumes. Do not work with excessive quantities in a single cup; spread across several if you need a larger volume.
How many uses do they withstand before replacing them?
It depends on the material mixed and the care taken during cleaning. With silicones and polyurethane resins, dozens of uses are typical. The printed graduated markings may wear over time; if the reading is no longer reliable, it is time to replace the cup.
Are the markings in millilitres or centilitres?
The markings are in millilitres (ml), which is the standard unit for volumetric dispensing of resins, silicones and liquid rubbers in the workshop.
Can I use the same cup for different materials?
It is not recommended if there is a risk of cross-contamination. For example, residues of sulphur-containing materials can inhibit the curing of platinum silicones. Reserve specific cups for each type of material or make sure they are completely clean before switching products.
Does the kit include different sizes?
Yes. The kit of 6 cups includes: 2 cups of 400 ml, 2 cups of 650 ml and 2 cups of 1300 ml, covering the main working volumes in a mould-making or special effects workshop.
Are they suitable for measuring powder materials?
Yes. The graduated markings also allow you to measure powder or filler materials (plasters, mineral fillers, powder pigments) when the formulation indicates a volumetric proportion. For weight-based dosing, they need to be combined with a scale.
