Easyl 925-FDA Translucent -Silicone Food Safe-

Easyl 925-FDA is an FDA-certified food-safe platinum (addition) silicone, formulated for making moulds in direct contact with food. With Shore A25 hardness, low viscosity and 1:1 mix ratio by weight and volume, it combines ease of use with excellent technical performance: negligible shrinkage, heat resistance up to 220 °C and translucency that makes it easy to inspect the mould and the finished product.

Technical specifications

What it is used for

Easyl 925-FDA is designed for making flexible moulds for the food industry and for artisan and professional baking. Its FDA certification makes it suitable for direct contact with food, provided the mould conditioning instructions are followed before first use. The translucency of the material makes it easy to visually inspect the finished piece and to detect bubbles during pouring.

• Moulds for chocolate and artisan confectionery
• Moulds for sweets, gummies and candy
• Moulds for custom-shaped ice cubes
• Moulds for pasta, fondant and marzipan
• Moulds for gelatines and panna cotta
• Moulds for decorative butter
• Reproductions of food-contact parts in industrial and laboratory environments

How to use it

1. Prepare the master model making sure it is clean and dry. Do not use sulphur-based clays or tin materials to build the containment dam, as these will inhibit the cure.
2. Weigh or measure parts A and B in a 1:1 ratio. Thanks to the equal mix ratio both by weight and by volume, you can use graduated syringes or a scale interchangeably.
3. Mix both components for 2–3 minutes with a flat-bottomed spatula, scraping the sides and bottom of the container thoroughly to ensure a homogeneous mixture.
4. If you have a vacuum chamber, degas the mixture for 1–2 minutes to remove air bubbles trapped during mixing.
5. Pour the silicone in a thin, slow stream from the lowest point of the mould so the material flows and progressively displaces the air.
6. Allow to cure at room temperature (25 °C) for at least 3 hours before demoulding.
7. Before first use with food, wash the mould with water and mild soap, rinse thoroughly and dry. This step removes any potential traces from the manufacturing process.

Usage tips

Temperature and cure time

The 30-minute working time and 3-hour demould time are measured at 25 °C. In colder environments (below 18 °C) curing slows down considerably; in that case, you can heat the mould in an oven at 40–50 °C to accelerate the process without affecting the final properties. Avoid working at temperatures above 35 °C, as working time is significantly reduced.

Chocolate moulds: shrinkage and demoulding

The negligible shrinkage of Easyl 925-FDA ensures that fine relief details and textures are reproduced with precision. For chocolate moulds, a perfectly smooth inner finish is key: any bubble left on the contact surface will leave a mark on the piece. If you do not have a vacuum chamber, pour the mixture in a very thin stream and tap the mould gently on the table to bring bubbles to the surface. Demoulding is straightforward thanks to the Shore A25 flexibility; a Release agent is not necessary in most cases.

Maintenance and mould lifespan

FDA silicone moulds withstand hundreds of uses if handled with care. Always wash with warm water and mild soap after each use; avoid abrasive scrubbers that may scratch the surface. Do not use solvent-based Release agents or sprays containing tin silicones, as these would compromise the food-safe certification and could inhibit future repairs to the mould. Store moulds flat or hanging, away from direct light and ozone sources (electric motors).
