Mold making is the procedure of generating molds for forming metals, plastics, rubber, glass or ceramics in to shapes. Molds are negative spaces that serve as a model or pattern for shaping heated raw material such as plastic, metal, glass, ceramic, or other. Liquid casting material is prepared and poured in to the mold to set. Thus, molding is a process of manufacturing a variety of objects in a specific shape of size. Molds are used for metal casting also.
The most commonly used salt in making ceramic molds is Sodium Silicate which is also known as Water Glass. It is available in solution form and is also used in cements.

This compound is made from sodium carbonate and silicon dioxide. It can be used as a bonding agent as well as in coating on surfaces. When applied to the surfaces of the mold it forms a thin layer that is tough and tight bond or film. The bond formed by applying the sodium silicate is low in cost, resistant to fire, resistant to moisture and water; also it can be treated to temperatures at very high temperatures. The main feature of the film is that it is non toxic and doesn’t have any foul smell.
