LSR Injection Molding Advantages
Precision and Detail: LSR injection molding allows for intricate and detailed designs, making it suitable for producing complex parts with tight tolerances.
Biocompatibility: LSR is a biocompatible material, making it safe for use in medical and healthcare applications, such as medical devices and implants.
Temperature Resistance: LSR exhibits excellent temperature resistance, maintaining its properties over a wide range of temperatures.
Chemical Resistance: LSR is highly resistant to chemicals, solvents, and other harsh substances, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
Versatility: LSR can be used for a wide range of products, from consumer goods to automotive components to medical devices.
Low Waste: The injection molding process generates less waste compared to traditional manufacturing methods.
Design Flexibility: Silicone offers the ability to fill part geometries with tighter tolerances than are possible with a thermoplastic elastomer. Precise features, varying wall thickness, reduced likelihood of sink, small undercuts and negative draft are all possible with LSR.
Main Process of Silicone Injection Molding
Raw Material Preparation: First, liquid silicone rubber (LSR) material is mixed with silicone crosslinker and silicone-based fillers to form an LSR compound.
Injection by Injection Molding Machine: The prepared LSR compound is fed into the hopper of the injection molding machine. The machine then heats and injects the LSR compound into the mold cavity.
Mold Filling and Curing: In the mold cavity, the LSR compound quickly fills the entire cavity and then cures due to its inherent heat-reactive properties, forming a solid silicone rubber product.
Cooling and Demolding: After molding, the mold requires cooling to stabilize the silicone rubber. Once cooled, the mold opens, and the solid silicone rubber product is removed, completing the demolding process.
Trimming and Inspection: The extracted silicone rubber product may need trimming to remove excess edges or flash. Then, the finished product undergoes quality inspection to ensure it meets design specifications and quality standards.
Post-processing: For certain applications, post-processing such as surface coating, printing, or bonding may be required.
