How to Use Silicone Pouring Oil

Silicone Pour In is the modern day alternative for standard tumblers. It is a high performance plastic polymer that is injected into a billet, or solid, aluminum case and molded to precise specifications. The components are then exposed to heat and pressure to form the end products. The components of a silicone injection molded plastic include:

Silicone has some major advantages over conventional tumblers. One of the main differences is the flexibility of silicone. When the pressure is applied to the silicone, it spreads and forms into an almost seamless material that is nearly impossible to see through except under magnification. While this ability to form into a thin layer of plastic makes it extremely versatile, one of its key features is the accuracy of the material as it is formed. Because silicone pouring oil must be formed at precise temperatures, the material is highly accurate both in diameter and in length. This accuracy allows for very precise durations, which translate directly into accurate paint flow and paint spray patterns.

Another key feature of silicone pouring oil is its ability to form cells. It is important to understand how cells are formed in order to appreciate their usefulness for industrial design. When silicone is heated and compressed, it forms cells in much the same way that sand is formed when struck with a sandpaper. These cells are then cooled and injected into a billet, or solid, aluminum case. They are now held in place by the fine grooves and channels created by the process of cell creation.

In terms of art applications, these unique characteristics of silicone acrylic pouring oil allow for more precision than traditional tumblers and even aluminum cases. As oil is forced into the material, it forms long, thin, dynamic cells that are affected by the application methods used to apply the paint or glaze. For example, if the silicone pouring oil is to be used in an aluminum case, the oil will create long, thin, dynamic cells that are affected by the application methods used to install the material into the case. In the case of painting, the material will be affected by the width and depth of the brush being used as well as the angle at which the brush is used.

Because silicone oils create long, thin cells, they are useful in applications where it is necessary to have an accurate reproduction of the original materials. This means that silicone oil is an excellent product for fine arts, photography, jewelry crafting and similar professional painting applications. It is also the right product for many hobby and craft hobbies that involve intricate detail such as model making and model flying. The fact that the materials are so close to the original material means that the user can reproduce the model more accurately than could be achieved with other types of tumblers or other transferring mediums.

Silicone is non-toxic and is safe for both children and adults. Its low toxicity level and low odor make it a great addition to the craft, hobbyist and professional artist's supplies. Silicone oil makes an excellent acrylic art medium in its own right.
