SilkeMat is a safe, flexible and easy to handle mold making material. The SilkeMat product line is a combination of materials to make molds or for use as an insulating blanket.

SilkeMat® Is a NON-CARCINOGENIC refractory fiber blanket that can be cut, molded, rigidized and formed. It can be used with and without rigidizing.

A high-grade boron nitride separator is suggested for a cleaner release from the glass when exceeding 1400°F on rigidized SilkeMat.

There is no “shot” (tiny bits of silica) in this product and most firings are clean, leaving only the texture of the fiber on the glass.
A respirator is NOT needed to cut or work with SilkeMat®.

Sold as 12x12 and 24x24 1/4 in thick mats.

Easy to use, SilkeMat Rigidizer cures at 1450°F for pot melts and vitrigraph molds, and can even be used to solidify just the outer shell of the SilkeMat® mold to retain a soft, release-free interior for slumping any glass. Properly prepared and fired, all SilkeMat® molds are generally reusable for numerous firings.
