Advantages of Liquid Silicone Rubber
Introduction Nowadays, manufacturers in various industries discover liquid silicone rubber advantages for injection molding. Liquid silicone injection molding is an effective fabrication technology of molded parts. One of the primary advantage is that LSR molding is more efficiently and economically than other molding processes. Thermoplastics are also a popular option for injection molding, because of their strong, lightweight and easy modification. However, thermoplastics cannot withstand extreme high temperature. Liquid Silicone Rubber Properties Silicone rubber is consisting of sand or silicone dioxide…
Mold Design for LSR Molding
Introduction Mold design for liquid silicone rubber molding is very challenging, it is the most critical step in silicone parts production. We need to understand the basic information before start a LSR mold design. In most case, LSR tooling requires more precision and expertise than molds for thermoplastics. In reason of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is processed differently from thermoplastics, it is difficult to translate certain strategies of tooling to LSR, even the most experienced thermoplastic tooling manufacturer. Flash Prevention…

Misconception List Silicone is a Chemical Ingredient…
Optimize LSR Molding Design
Junle(Vietnam) provides liquid silicone rubber molding for various silicone parts productions. Although LSR molding has many similarities with conventional injection molding, there are still some notable difference. Normally, thermoplastic resin is melted before injection, while LSR is consisting of two thermeset compounds, it is chilled before injection, heated to solidify in mold and cured ultimately into final parts. LSR molded state is permanent in reason of its thermoset polymer property, it cannot be melted again as thermoplastics. LSR has its…
Silicone Micro Molding
Introduction Silicone micro molding is the latest trend in LSR manufacturing industry, in order to satisfy various small size silicone production requirement. As miniaturization development in many high-tech industries, components size is becoming more and more small. Therefore, this encourages silicone molding manufacturers must produce silicone parts with incredible accuracy and precision. Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) injection molding has excellent tolerance and design flexibility. So LSR micro molding is the perfect solution for complex, tiny and critical silicone components. Otherwise, we…
Liquid Silicone Rubber Molding Process
Introduction Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) molding applies the most common manufacturing method of liquid injection molding, it molds raw LSR materials into a wide range of products. Different from standard reaction injection molding process with pressurized impingement mixing. Liquid injection molding uses mechanical mixing methods, it is mainly applied for liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and similar elastomer materials. Injection molding of High Consistency Rubber (HCR) is the oldest technology of silicone rubber parts fabrication, it continues in widespread practice. Nonetheless, liquid injection…
Design Considerations of LSR Molding
LSR Materials Property LSR is a thermoset material, it has unique design characteristics different from thermoplastic injection molding. Therefore, LSR design considerations are less strict. Unlike thermoplastics are softening once heated, thermosets like LSR are cured in high heat temperature with various forms. LSR can withstand high temperature easily, while thermoplastics melt. So it is most suitable for high-heat automotive and industrial applications, or medical products with high temperature sterilization. Liquid silicone rubber also can maintain its flexibility in low temperature…
