Key Features
Shaped cavities that each hold a defined volume
Used for fusion moulding: pouring, congealing and demoulding
Supports mould calibration, density and displacement exercises
About This Product
In fusion moulding the chosen suppository base is melted, other ingredients are mixed in, and the mass is poured into the clean, dry mould, where it congeals before the finished units are released. Because each cavity holds a fixed volume while ingredients are weighed, the mould is also used to teach capacity calibration and displacement calculations. Cavities are filled carefully to avoid air bubbles, and hot bases are handled under supervision. Besides buyers across India, the Suppository Moulds can be exported to institutions in Lesotho, Malta, Syria, Japan, Slovenia and Belgium.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Why is mould calibration needed? Each cavity holds a defined volume, while formulation ingredients are normally measured by weight. Calibrating the mould with the chosen base links the two so the cavities can be filled accurately.
