How to choose silicone rubber suitable for compression molding
Introduction Silicone rubber is an indispensable material for compression molding, due to its heat resistance, electrical insulation, and flexibility properties. Thanks to this versatile material’s wide application across various industries and markets, compression molding has become one of the go-to techniques for shaping rubber materials into desired forms; typically by applying heat and pressure within […]
Silicone rubber types and applications
Silicone rubber is a rubber whose main chain is composed of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms, with two organic groups usually attached to the silicon atom. Silicone rubber has good low-temperature resistance, and generally still works at -55℃. After the introduction of phenyl, it can reach -73℃. The heat resistance of silicone rubber products is […]
7 aspects when designing LSR liquid silicone injection molds
The structure of thermoset liquid silicone rubber (LSR) injection molds is generally similar to that of molds used for thermoplastic compounds, but there are several significant differences. For example, LSR compounds generally have a low viscosity and therefore very short filling times, even at very low injection pressures. To avoid air trapping, it is essential […]
