Silicone Injection Molding

Liquid Injection Molding also known as LIM or LSR is a unique process of injecting a two component curable silicone elastomer into heated tooling. This process results in rapidly cured parts that can be run with fast cycle times producing a broad array of molded silicone parts.

Unique characteristics of liquid injection molded silicone are:

• Good heat resistance up to 180C
• Low temperature resistance and cold flexibility to -50C
• Exceptional chemical resistance
• High tear strength
• Low compression set
• High clarity, low odor
• High resistance to UV, weathering and aging
• A broad range of durometers
• Colors easily

Silicones are used in a broad array of industries such as automotive, health care, industrial and consumer goods to name just a few.

Common applications are gaskets, seals, O rings, diaphragms, surgical devices, high voltage insulators, keypads, shoe inserts and kitchen utensils.
