About Our Silicone
Why Silicone Quality Matters
Not all silicone is created equal. At AK Molds, we use only high-grade platinum silicone, trusted by professionals and crafters alike. This ensures that every mold we create is safe, durable, flexible, and capable of capturing the finest details. Whether you're working with soap, resin, wax, chocolate, or other materials, the quality of your mold directly affects the quality of your final product.
Types of Silicone We Offer
We provide three premium silicone options to suit different needs and creative projects:
1. Platinum Silicone 15 Shore (Craft Grade)
Our standard craft-grade silicone. It offers the perfect balance between flexibility and stability. Ideal for soap making, wax melts, resin casting, and general crafts.
2. Platinum Silicone 5 Shore (Craft Grade)
An ultra-soft version, perfect for molds with delicate details, deep cavities, or complex designs. It allows for easier demolding in fragile shapes such as botanical petals or figurines.
3. Platinum Silicone 15 Shore (Food Grade)
This version is certified for food and skin contact and complies with both EU Regulation 1935/2004 and FDA standards. Perfect for chocolate, fondant, edible decorations, or skincare-related items.
Certification & Safety
All our silicone is sourced from reputable European manufacturers and meets the following standards:
✅ Food-grade silicone is certified safe for food and skin contact, tested to comply with EU & FDA regulations.
✅ Craft-grade silicone is non-toxic, safe for use in soap, wax, resin, and crafts, but not intended for direct food contact.
❌ We do not use acetoxy-cure silicone, tin-cure silicone, or industrial-grade silicone.
Certification documents are available upon request.
