Kenvox provides liquid injection molding tools for manufacturing your production parts. Silicone injection molding tools are only necessary when your volume becomes high enough that it is justified and a lower piece price is desired. If you require several thousand pieces or more on an annual basis, then an injection mold tool will be better suited than a compression mold. |
Liquid silicone rubber injection molding is a thermoset process that cools the material delivery system, while heating the mold tool to cure silicone material into parts. The liquid silicone injection molding process is highly automated with short cycle times to reduce the silicone part price. Liquid silicone injection molded parts are elastic with a high degree of chemical, electrical and thermal resistance. | |
Kenvox is pleased to offer LSR (liquid silicone rubber) injection molding solutions. We manufacture injection molding tools in-house to provide you with rapid silicone prototypes and high/low-volume production parts as the design progresses. Once the injection molding tools are completed, we will provide you with engineering samples. After the engineering samples are accepted, then it is time for LSR silicone injection molding process to commence. |

Typical applications for liquid silicone rubber are products that require high precision such as seals, sealing membranes, electric connectors, multi-pin connectors, infant products where smooth surfaces are desired, such as bottle nipples, medical applications as well as kitchen goods such as baking pans, spatulas, etc. Often, silicone rubber is overmolded onto other parts made of different plastics. For example, a silicone button face might be overmolded onto an Nylon 6,6 housing. |
