What is silicone compression molding?

Silicone compression molding is an effective manufacturing process that brings tremendous benefits to businesses across a wide range of industries. The silicone compression molding process involves pouring silicone into a heated cavity and then applying pressure once the silicone has solidified within the space. This pressure forces the silicone form to take the shape of the cavity, creating components of the exact size and shape that are needed.

The end result is high-quality silicone parts with accuracy levels well beyond what can be achieved without this specialized process. Silicone compression molding is often used for medical device components, fluid system seals, gaskets, and insulation products due to its precision and repeatability.
