Why is Liquid Silicone Rubber ideal for injection molding applications?


Manufacturers in various industries, including automotive, healthcare, general industrial, infant care, consumer goods and electronics require easy-to-mold (and demold) low or high-viscosity rubber silicones to produce parts efficiently and cost-effectively.Get more news about Silicone Injection Tooling,you can vist our website!

Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is the material of choice for injection molding applications. The silicone backbone is composed of repeating Si-O chains which are extremely flexible in nature giving this chemical structure unique properties such as a broad operating temperature range, weatherability, hydrophobicity, bio-inertness, electrical insulation, and a sustainable life span.
Liquid injection molding
Liquid injection molding is the process used with liquid silicone rubber (LSR) to fix the material from an uncured state into a cured part.
The highly viscous LSR is extracted from drums or pails using a dosing unit and injected into a closed mold in the press.
The mold is then heated, and the heat combined with pressure applied to the LSR results in the rubber becoming a solid part.
