Types of Silicone Parts

 

The silicone parts produced by our company mainly include the following types:

Silicone Rubber Parts

Silicone Rubber Seal Ring

Silicone rubber seal rings are incredibly adaptable and can be used in a variety of settings. The synthetic material used to make them, silicone rubber, is extremely resistant to heat, cold, and chemical deterioration.

Low Volume Production Silicone Parts With 50 Durometer

Silicone Rubber Parts

Silicone rubber parts are versatile components that can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, tailored for various applications. These parts are created using a process called urethane casting, which involves pouring liquid silicone rubber into molds to achieve the desired form.

Custom Silicone Rubber Parts

Rubber Silicone Tube And Caps By Silicone And Plastic Mold

High-quality rubber silicone tubes and caps by silicone and plastic mold are used for sealing and shielding parts from dust, moisture, and other impurities.

 

Key Characteristics of silicone part
 

Chemical Resistance
One of the standout features of silicone is its exceptional chemical resistance. Silicone parts do not react with most chemicals or solvents, making them highly suitable for various applications where exposure to aggressive substances is common. This property is especially important in the automotive and medical industries, where silicone parts must withstand harsh environments without degrading.

 

Temperature Tolerance
Silicone exhibits remarkable temperature tolerance, functioning effectively within a broad temperature range. This is particularly valuable in automotive and electronic applications, where components might be subjected to high heat and sudden temperature changes. Silicone ensures that parts maintain their integrity and performance under these conditions.

 

Flexibility and Elasticity
The flexibility and elasticity of silicone part enable the production of parts that can deform and return to their original shape. This makes silicone suitable for applications requiring dynamic movement, such as seals and gaskets in engines or medical equipment that may undergo frequent stress.

 

Applications of Silicone Parts

 

Electrical Insulation

Silicone part is an excellent insulator used extensively for wire and cable insulation, connector seals, and switch boots. The high-temperature resistance and weather ability allow it to insulate electronics in extreme conditions that would cause other materials to melt or degrade. Silicone insulation remains flexible, waterproof, and resistant to arcing and cracking to protect sensitive components.

Automotive Parts

Silicone hoses, gaskets, seals, and other parts are common under the hood and throughout vehicles. As radiator, heater, and vacuum hoses, silicone part lasts the vehicle’s lifetime and resists engine heat, oils, and fuels that would cause ordinary rubber to fail. Silicone seals and gaskets also provide reliable, long-term sealing of fluid and air systems in harsh automotive environments.

Appliance Parts

Ovens, stovetops, microwaves, refrigerators, dishwashers, and other appliances utilize silicone door and lid seals, tubing, pumps, valves, and wiring. Silicone is ideally suited to withstand appliance operating temperatures. It puts up with constant opening and closing and exposure to water, chemicals, and grease over many cycles with minimal change in properties.

Space and Aviation

Silicone part and coatings are essential for components and parts in space and aviation, where extreme temperatures, radiation, and chemical exposure are routine requirements. Their unparalleled high performance makes them uniquely suited for these demanding applications.

 

Molding Process of Silicone Parts

 

Compression Molding
Compression molding is a very common method for processing silicone part. It is mainly done by the fit of the mold, and the shape of the mold determines the shape of the silicone part. The silicone part is usually molded by high-temperature molds. First, the solid silicone raw materials are mixed with a vulcanizing agent. Then the material is pressurized through the vulcanizer to fill the whole cavity and vulcanized under high temperature, and the heating and pressure are maintained until the silicone is cured.

 

Injection Molding
Injection molding is more complex than compression molding, transfer molding, or extrusion molding. Short cure times and low viscosity make injection molding an excellent choice for a wide variety of silicone parts. Mold design, gate size, and location are key factors in optimizing the injection molding process.

 

Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) Injection Molding
Liquid silicone rubber is a high-purity, two-component, cured silicone reinforced with specially treated silica. It has relatively high requirements for strength, resistance, and high quality. LSR is less viscous than HCR, making it a pumpable material ideal for liquid injection molding.

 

High Consistency Rubber (HCR) Injection Molding
High Consistency Rubber (HCR) is also known as Heat Cured Rubber or HTV (High-Temperature Vulcanized) Silicone Rubber. This material is made of reactive silicone with very high-weight macromolecules. Various raw materials can provide specific functions for HCR, such as fumed silica or precipitated silica with a high specific surface area to improve mechanical properties, heat stabilizer, plasticizer, or anti-recombination agent.

 

 

Cooperation Process

 

 

Before receiving the customer's project drawing, we will first sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with the customer, after that the customer can email the design drawing (2D/3D file) to us, we will provide a detailed design manufacturing report (DFM), quotation and delivery time. In the process of project analysis, we discuss relevant issues with the customer and reach an agreement. After the customer places a purchase order, we will charge a 50% deposit to start processing the parts.
