3 Types of Rubber Injection Molding
The blog post details three main rubber molding processes: transfer molding, compression molding, and injection molding (including organic, liquid, and thermoplastic variants). Each method has specific applications, benefits, and limitations for manufacturing rubber parts across various industries.
Three Benefits of Rubber Compression Molding
Compression molding, one of the oldest rubber shaping methods, uses metal presses to apply pressure to rubber, creating durable parts. This cost-effective process is suitable for various production runs and part sizes, offering versatility and repeatability while maintaining quality, though it may not be ideal for very small, intricate parts.
Custom Fabrication: Molded Rubber Parts
Custom molded rubber parts allow manufacturers to specify exact components with desired properties, materials, and designs. Various polymers like silicone, neoprene, and natural rubber offer different characteristics for specific applications. Manufacturing methods include injection, compression, and transfer molding, with rubber-to-metal bonding often essential for durability.
