Liquid silicone rubber injection molding is the ideal method for producing precise LSR parts, delivering accurately dimensioned components, complex designs, and superior surface finishes. Below are some key benefits of LSR injection molding.
Durability
LSR injection-molded parts have excellent UV and ozone resistance and superior electrical insulation. LSR injection molding is ideal for gaskets, seals in mobile communication devices, durable electronics, and many other applications.
High Precision
Liquid silicone injection molding enables the creation of complex parts with tight tolerances. Liquid silicone can flow into intricate mold cavities, allowing for highly accurate reproduction of dimensions and shapes.
Reduced Flash (Burrs)
Its low viscosity ensures that liquid silicone rubber completely fills mold cavities, minimizing flash in the LSR injection molding process. This naturally reduces the need for trimming or post-molding finishing.
Automated Handling
LSR injection molds can be produced automatically without exposure to external environments. The liquid silicone is processed and injected seamlessly by machinery, resulting in smooth surfaces with minimal finishing work, reducing the likelihood of human error.
Consistent Quality
The even distribution of liquid silicone within the mold provides uniform quality and minimal variation between individual pieces.
High-Volume Production
Advanced LSR materials allow manufacturers to produce complex liquid silicone rubber injection-molded parts cost-effectively and in large quantities.
Reduced Production Waste
Silicone injection molding is considered an environmentally friendly solution as it generates little to no waste throughout the manufacturing process. Moreover, unlike metals that are not recyclable, silicone can be recycled for future products.
