What is silicone rubber compression molding? Compression Molding is the oldest original production method for molding silicone rubber. It is ideal for low to medium production volumes and is a particularly useful molding process for molding gaskets, seals, O-rings, and large, bulky parts. It is a widely used, efficient and economical production…
How is Silicone Rubber molded? The Silicone rubber is molded with Vulcanized and curred. A combination of heat and pressure applied to the liquid silicone rubber cures the material until it solidifies. There are 3 forms of Silicone Rubber and then with the 5 types of silicone rubber molded: Solid…
Can Silicone Rubber be Compression molded? There are three main forms of silicone rubber available: Solid Silicone Rubber or High-Temperature Vulcanized, HTV – Solid silicone rubber contains polymers with a high molecular weight and relatively long polymer chains. They are available in an uncured form and required traditional rubber processing…
We will focus on the differences between silicone injection molding and silicone compression molding, how these techniques work and the main advantages and disadvantages of these techniques.
