Liquid Silicone Rubber Injection Molding

Due to the thermosetting nature of the.

Liquid silicone rubber injection molding.

Liquid silicone rubber injection molding is a thermoset process that cools the material delivery system while heating the mold tool to cure silicone material into parts. Injection molding of liquid silicone rubber lsr is a process to produce pliable durable parts in high volume. Liquid silicone rubber injection molding lsr is a non toxic heat resistant thermal stability highly resilient and flexible thermosetting material. Liquid silicone rubber is a high purity platinum cured silicone with low compression set great stability and ability to resist extreme temperatures of heat and cold ideally suitable for production of parts where high quality is a must.

Liquid silicone rubber lsr is a family of materials commonly specified for gaskets seals and cushioning pads in portable communications data acquisition devices sensing instruments and rugged enclosures with demanding sealing requirements in outdoor conditions. The liquid injection molding lim manufacturing process molds silicone rubber into a broad array of parts and products. Injection molding of liquid silicone rubber lsr is the fastest growing segment of stockwell elastomerics molding operations. While the traditional reaction injection molding rim process focuses on a pressurized impingement mixing process liquid injection molding is comprised of a mechanical mixing method that blends a two component compound together in a mold.

Like a standard aluminum tool an lsr molding tool is fabricated using cnc machining to create a high temperature tool built to withstand the lsr molding process. The liquid silicone injection molding process is highly automated with short cycle times to reduce the silicone part price.
