What is resin casting?
Resin is a natural or synthetic compound which begins in a highly viscous state and hardens with treatment. Typically, resin is soluble in alcohol, but not in water. There are a number of different classes of resin, depending on exact chemical composition and potential uses. There are numerous applications for resins, ranging from art to polymer production, and many consumers interact with products which contain resin on a daily basis. Natural resin comes from plants. A classic example is pine sap, which has the characteristic sharp odor of terpene compounds. As anyone who has interacted with pine sap knows, the substance is very viscous, but it hardens over time. A number of other plants produce resins, and plant resins have been used by humans for thousands of years. Some plants exude a similar substance called gum or gum resin which does interact with water. Gum tends to be softer and more malleable than resin.

Can you use a glass mold when casting clear polypropylene resin or will it bond with the glass?
You do not want to use a glass mold when casting resin. Resin is a two-part compound that, when mixed in proper proportions, becomes completely hard when dry. When casting resin, you want to use a flexible mold, such as a silicone mold, to cast it. Once the resin has hardened, you can flex a silicone or rubber mold, stretching and bending it to allow air between the mold and the shape, which allows the mold to release the resin form. The mold will revert back to its original state after the form has been released. A glass mold has no flexibility. If you cast resin in a glass mold, the resin will harden exactly the size of the cavity in your glass mold. While it will not bond to the glass, the result is the same. Once the resin is hard, there will be no way for air to come between the resin form and the glass mold. The resin will essentially be vacuum-sealed in place. If you have a more complex form, such as a rose shape, the resin will be stuck in place permanently. A more simple shape, such as a square, might release over time. If you set the mold upside-down, a combination of gravity, and the effects of temperature and humidity on the glass and resin, may release the resin after many weeks or months. If you have already cast your resin into the glass mold, your only option will be to wait to see if the cast will eventually release, or carefully break the glass mold from around the resin.

What is gravity die casting?
It is process of making Alu. zinc component die. and material flows in die by Gravity force only no external pressure applied as Pressure Die Casting. Gravity casting is the liquid metal in the Earth's gravity into the casting process, also known as gravity pouring casting. The generalized gravity casting include sand casting, metal casting, investment casting, lost foam casting, clay mold casting; narrow-defined gravity casting refers to the metal casting. uses the force of gravity, to fill a permanent mold, or die, with molten material. It does not use the high-pressure method to form the casting. It will ensure that there will not be any clusters formed during this gravity casting process. The method has advantages like cost effective, good quality, and process control over other casting techniques.
