Silicone Rubber Overmolding

Steel brass aluminum or plastic subcomponents are often incorporated into overmolded rubber parts.

Silicone rubber overmolding.

Liquid silicone overmolding is a process for molding silicone rubber onto a base material or object such as a housing wire or handle to create a composite component. Silicone overmolding simtec silicone parts is a leading provider of produced parts using the insert plastic molding process for major oems throughout the world. These subcomponents are commonly termed inserts as they are inserted into the mold typical metal inserts include screw machine parts metal stampings and powdered metal shapes. Undercuts support overmolding but these part features add costs and complexity to the mold.

Silicone over molding is a process that is used to cover bond or encapsulate an existing part with silicone material. Silicone to metal bonding.

Rubber to metal bonding. Minimum part volume is 0 025 cu. When referring to overmolding thermoplastics or other silicones overmolding may also be called two shot molding. Overmolding an lsr with one durometer and color.

Rubber to metal bonding and silicone overmolding this is one third of our business we are the experts in this segment asian partner for overmolding and rubber to metal bonded of custom molded rubber silicone lsr serving all segments of overmolding in the silicone molding and rubber molding applications. For example a silicone over molding process may be used for providing a grip surface to a smooth plastic handle a flexible septum on a hard plastic surface or for encapsulating an electronics assembly for mounting or protection from the environment. Plus non drafted areas can be difficult to remove. For product designers it s also important to remember that few injection molders are experts in overmolding liquid silicone rubber lsr to plastics.
