Common Forming Processes for Silicone Rubber Products

Silicone rubber products are widely used in daily life and work, and the production of silicone rubber products cannot be separated from the forming process. Below, we will introduce the manufacturing process and commonly used forming processes of silicone rubber products.

The manufacturing process of silicone rubber products mainly includes the preparation, mixing, forming, and vulcanization of raw materials. Among them, forming is the Committed step of manufacturing silicone products, and the forming process of silicone products mainly includes the following:

Molding: This forming process involves using a mold to shape silicone. First, the pre treated silicone material is placed in the mold, and then heated to soften the silicone material. The silicone material is then solidified into the desired shape through the pressure and temperature of the mold.

Extrusion: This forming process is suitable for silicone rubber products with complex structures. The preheated silicone mixture is put into a hopper through an extruder, and then the silicone mixture is extruded out through a screw, and then the desired shape is obtained through various mouth shapes.

Calendering: This forming process is suitable for silicone rubber products with relatively simple structures. The pre processed silicone blend is pressed into the desired shape and size of silicone sheets through a rolling machine.

The forming process of silicone rubber products is one of the manifestations that directly reflect the technical strength and production capacity of manufacturers. Therefore, it is necessary to proficiently master the forming process technology. In addition, the forming process of silicone rubber products also includes others, such as injection, etc. During the production process of silicone rubber products, manufacturers also need to control the quality of silicone blend and the curing time of silicone to ensure the production of high-quality silicone rubber products.

In short, there are various forming processes for silicone rubber products, and manufacturers need to choose appropriate molding processes based on different product structures and requirements to manufacture high-quality silicone rubber products.
