What is silicone extrusion molding?
Silicone extrusion molding is a manufacturing process that utilizes silicone to create a variety of shapes and sizes. It’s often used in engineering and construction, because silicone provides excellent heat resistance, low shrinkage during curing, UV/oxidation/ozone resistance, as well as flexibility and durability. It can be either continuous or intermittent in nature, making silicone an ideal choice for creating complex parts that require flexibility and stability over time. Overall, silicone extrusion molding offers a reliable, cost-effective solution for many applications.
Process of silicone extrusion molding
Silicone extrusion molding is a unique and useful process for creating shapes out of silicone rubber. It involves forcing silicone material through a shaped die, which is similar to the way the dough is made in a pasta roller. The silicone is heated up and softened before going through the die and then solidifies once it has been cut into the desired shape. This process allows silicone producers to make silicone parts quickly, accurately and efficiently while minimizing waste and scrap silicone. Further adjustments can be done afterwards by adding additional silicone material or cutting away material to ensure that the desired shape has been created perfectly.
Features and advantages of silicone extrusion molding
silicone extrusion molding is one of the most versatile silicone manufacturing processes available and it can be used to create silicone objects with features such as ribbing, grooves, and even fine details like raised lettering. This same process also produces silicone parts regularly in sizes between 0.25mm to 12 inches thick with tolerances as tight as +/- 0.001 inches or better.
The silicone extrusion molding technique offers a speedy production time and low rates for tool upcharges. Additionally, silicone objects produced through this method have excellent durability and flexibility due to the natural properties of silicone itself.
Application of silicone extrusion molding
Silicone extrusion molding is a revolutionary process made possible by silicone’s unique properties. This process allows for the mass production of silicone-based products of all shapes and sizes efficiently, quickly, and cost-effectively. It can be used to produce silicone products of a wide range of complexity – from simple tubes and online rain gutters to complex cable assemblies and connectors. Furthermore, silicone extrusion molding offers superior insulation properties due to its natural resistivity to electricity and heat. For these reasons, silicone products made with silicone extrusion molding are ideal candidates for using in medical devices, electric components and automotive applications.
