Manufacturing 205 Silicone Mold Making The production of high quality components is the cornerstone of success for manufacturing companies that demand quality and precision. Medical device manufacturers, aviation engineers, and consumer product developers are continually seeking versatile molding options to promote world-class product design. Silicone mold making has emerged as an excellent option for a variety of industries that require molds that are durable and easy to create. Key Advantages of Silicone Mold Making Ability to withstand extremely hot or extremely cold temperatures Silicone rubber can easily be customized to meet specific needs Low compression set Rapid cure cycles Superb stability Excellent for producing molded parts that require no secondary processing Silicone adheres well to plastic, glass and metals Outstanding safety properties Facilitates micro-molding, which is critical in the medical device industry Industrial Applications for Silicone Mold Making Medical device engineering Automotive design and engineering Electronics industry Aircraft manufacturing Construction How Silicone Mold Making Promotes Safety and a Cleaner Environment Silicone produces no harmful gases if exposed to fire If silicone is burned, the result is water vapor and CO2 as opposed to toxins ELASTOSIL ® products are easy to clean, promoting sanitary conditions ELASTOSIL ® silicones are also resistant to damage by cleaning agents ELASTOSIL ® LR silicones are water and heat resistant Specialty ELASTOSIL ® products are UL 94 V-0 compliant Silicones have few ingredients and are plasticizer-free, making them non- poisonous Some ELASTOSIL ® products are flame-retardant, making them difficult to set on fire ELASTOSIL ® LR silicones are inorganic, making them safe for food contact The Role of Experience and Commitment to Quality in Silicone Mold Making Decades of industry experience A focus on product innovation An understanding of the customized needs of individual markets Commitment to continued quality improvement in product design Desire to expand into new markets Adherence to industry regulations Accessible technical support ISO and/or TUV certification
