How Does Silicone Overmolding Work?
The process involves injecting liquid silicone rubber (LSR) over a substrate or base material. This allows the silicone to form a strong mechanical or chemical bond, enhancing the product’s structural integrity and functionality. Silicone overmolding is widely used for its ability to integrate multiple materials seamlessly, delivering superior performance in complex applications.
