LSR Injection Molding

Offering tailored LSR products for medical, automotive, and consumer applications

What is LSR Injection Molding?

Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) Injection Molding is a specialized manufacturing process used to produce flexible, durable, and high-performance silicone rubber parts. Unlike traditional rubber molding methods, LSR Injection Molding uses a liquid silicone material that is injected into a mold under controlled conditions of heat and pressure. Once inside the mold, the material is cured, creating a final product that is heat-resistant, biocompatible, and capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions.

LSR Injection Molding is particularly valued for its ability to produce parts with complex geometries, thin walls, and high consistency across large production runs. It’s widely used in industries such as medical, automotive, consumer electronics, and food processing, thanks to its unique properties, including its resistance to extreme temperatures, flexibility, and long-lasting durability.

The LSR Injection Molding Process

At Kitchenbathsilicone, our LSR Injection Molding process is carefully designed to ensure the highest quality for every product we manufacture. Here's an overview of the key steps involved in our LSR injection molding production process:

1. Material Preparation
The LSR material is a two-part mixture composed of liquid silicone and a catalyst. These two components are stored separately and only mixed just before the injection process. This ensures that the silicone doesn’t start curing prematurely and retains its desired flow properties.

2. Injection into Mold
Once the silicone mixture is prepared, it is injected into a pre-heated mold using a specialized injection machine. The mold is typically made from high-grade steel or aluminum and is designed to form the exact shape and features of the final part. The liquid silicone flows easily into every cavity of the mold, allowing for the production of parts with complex geometries and fine details.

3. Curing and Molding
After the silicone is injected into the mold, it undergoes a curing process, during which heat and pressure are applied to cause the material to solidify. This stage ensures the silicone is fully set and achieves its optimal strength, elasticity, and other desired properties. The curing time can vary depending on the part’s size, thickness, and material composition.

4. Demolding
Once the silicone has cured, the mold is opened, and the part is removed. Our automated systems ensure precise and clean demolding, minimizing defects such as flashing or distortion.

5. Post-Molding Processing
After demolding, parts may undergo additional post-molding steps, including trimming, cleaning, and surface treatments to remove any excess material or enhance surface finishes. For specific applications, parts may also be assembled into larger systems or packaged according to client specifications.
