Liquid Silicone Gasket Over-mouldings

Using Liquid Silicone moulding technology Rubbertech can now supply customers with silicone on plastic over-moulded assemblies to ensure the best sealing performance


Using Liquid Silicone moulding technology Rubbertech can now supply customers with plastic mouldings that incorporate over-moulded liquid silicone seals.

This solution for many customers can ensure IP rated assemblies without the requirement for additional bonding processes that may not offer reliable sealing.

The plastic component is pre-moulded and then loaded into the LSR injection tool. Liquid silicone can be moulded at much lower temperatures than traditional silicone and without the high compression forces.

Once the LSR and plastic are moulded they form both a mechanical and chemical bond.

These plastic assemblies can be supplied with threaded inserts included if required and finished with printing and spray finishes.

Please get in touch with our team if this solution may be of interest.
