Isomalt and hard candy hit molds hotter than chocolate. A tray that works for temper bars can scorch, stick, or warp when syrup lands above 140 C. RUUIPON builds custom confectionery silicone molds at MOQ 50 with prototypes in 3-7 days when heat and release are specified up front.
Quick answer: Use platinum food-grade silicone rated for your pour temperature, Shore A 35-50 for sticky hard candy, 1-3 deg draft, walls 2.5-5 mm, and confirm heat on a prototype before MOQ 50.
Isomalt Mold Specs
| Spec | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Shore A | 35-50 |
| Walls | 2.5-5 mm |
| Spacing | 8-20 mm |
| Draft | 1-3 deg |
| Food grade | Platinum + docs |
| MOQ | 50 per design |
Heat Limits
Ask for continuous and peak temperature on the compound. Baking trays and candy pours are not the same duty cycle - see baking heat limits. Prototype with your real syrup, not water.
Shore A and Draft
Harder Shore helps demold sticky isomalt; too hard locks undercuts. Draft and edge radius reduce tear-outs - edge radius and draft angles.
Food-Grade Path
Treat as food contact: FDA vs LFGB and docs checklist.
Cavity Layout
Dense layouts cool unevenly. Start 6-12 cavities, spacing 8-20 mm - layout guide.
