The PTFE Flat Embedding Mold offers flat embedding for most resins, including LR White, LR Gold, JB-4, Immuno-Bed and Lowicryl and can be used for both UV/low temperature and thermal cure. It may be used as a substitution for the silicone molds. The individual cavities are pre shaped to reduce block trimming.
For curing anaerobic material, we recommend using Aclar film, cut-to-size of the mold and lower on top of the mold after you ʽjust over-fill' the cavities with embedding resin. Due to the flexibility of the PTFE, you just bend the mold to pop out the cured resin blocks. After all the cast blocks have been removed, reinsert the mold to its holder to re-shape the mold.
The mold holder is machined from aluminum and anodized black. Each of the 18 cavities measures 5 mm W x 14 mmL x 4 mm deep. Overall mold measures: 5 1/2" x 3" x 1/4” (140x50x8 mm).
