Advantages of solid silicone:
Low investment, flexibility, low mold cost, small orders can still be placed, a wide range of rubber materials can be selected, you can choose double two Five or Perkin.
Disadvantages:
Higher requirements on operators and low production efficiency.
Advantages of liquid silicone:
High production efficiency, relatively high hygiene level, and generally high product accuracy.
2. Generally used in baby products, kitchen supplies and medical supplies, and can directly come into contact with food and human body.
Disadvantages:
The initial investment is large, and it is not cost-effective for small orders. The mold cost is at least several times that of solid glue production of the same size.
Distinguish liquid silicone and solid silicone from the molding method:
1. Liquid silicone is injection molding liquid silicone rubber (LSR): the full name is injection molding liquid silicone rubber, vulcanization equipment For injection molding machines. The injection molding machine has a very simple process flow, high product accuracy, high output (A/B glue is mixed at a certain temperature and molded in a few seconds), saves manpower, electricity, materials and many other advantages, and can produce all high-temperature glue production products; will be the mainstream in the development of silicone rubber materials in the coming years.
2. Solid silicone molding is when the raw materials are solid pieces. After being mixed by the mixer, the cutting machine cuts the product into the appropriate size and thickness for the mold, and then puts it into the mold and presses the molding machine. Molding at a certain temperature. When demoulding is similar to plastic products, the mold also needs to be cleaned.
