How To Produce Silicone
1. The uncured liquid silicone starts in two containers, Compound A and Compound B, which connects to the pumping system. Barrel A holds the base-forming material, and Barrel B contains a catalyst. A metering unit automatically releases the two substances at a constant one-to-one ratio, as well as any pigmentation additive.
2. The molder can program and customize the automated LSR injection-molding machine and have the injection setting deliver the appropriate shot size for each job. The platens and pistons, which align and close the mold, have settings for the temperature, pressure, injection rate, and cycle time-adjusted in accordance with the customer’s specifications
3. After the completion of the setup, the molding machine heats LSR Teeth Protection mold to the appropriate temperature and applies the appropriate clamping force. The mold closes in coordination with the machine’s injector, pump, and supply. The injection mechanism then pushes the material into the mold and cavities.
4. A combination of heat and pressure applied to the liquid silicone rubber cures the material until it solidifies. Upon completion of the cycle, LSR Teeth Protectionmold opens, and the part and flashing can be removed automatically or by a worker. Then, the mold closes and repeats the process.
5. After the removal of the item from LSR Teeth Protection mold, the post-molding process may include de-flashing, post-curing, inspection, and packaging.
