It is important to consider what method of molding a silicone rubber to use. The main methods used are compression molding and injection molding.
1. Compression molding
Compression molding is one of the most common molding methods of silicone.It is usually used to make various simple-shaped silicone products, such as sealing rings, waterproof rings, etc. The process of this molding method is putting silicone into the mold, then compress or squeeze it to fill the entire mold, and finally heat and solidify. The compression molding process is simple and low-cost, it is suitable for making small batches of silicone products.
2. Injection molding
Injection molding is an efficient silicone molding method, suitable for mass production of various complex-shaped silicone products, such as mobile phone protective cases, automobile seals, etc. The process of injection molding is to add preheated silicone into the injection molding machine, then fill the entire mold with high pressure, and finally cool it for molding. Injection molding process has high precision and stable finished product quality, but the equipment cost is high.
