Silicone molding - Import export

V410 LSR Machine features Clamping force 1,600 kN. Size of the platens 430 x 510 mm. Injection volume 1,000 cm³. Machine which is particularly used for the production of flat gaskets as used in fuel cell applications. This machine is available in our showroom « Area 111 » in Corbas (France) to perform your test runs for the injection molding of LSR parts.

The use of silicone in products has many advantages: the material is elastic, durable, and resistant to chemicals and high temperatures. As a result, the injection moulding of silicone has many applications, for instance in the medical world. For the injection moulding of silicone we are able to employ machines with a clamping force of between 25 and 100 tons. In this way we can produce units of less than a gram up to about 100 grams, varying in hardness from 10 Shore A up to about 80 Shore A.

Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) is a liquid silicon material, which is processed with an injection moulding process. Thanks to its special materials and processing properties, LSR offers unique design and production opportunities for Enbi Plastics. LSR has numerous uses in different industries, including health care, food, automotive, household appliances, and other sectors. For the injection moulding of silicon, Enbi Plastics uses machines with a closing force between 25 and 110 tons. This way we produce products made of components weighing from less than a single gram to approximately 100 grams, and which vary between <10 Shore A to approximately 80 Shore A in hardness, using both 1K and 2K injection moulding processes. Would you like to know more about LSR and how it can benefit your products or components? Our experts at Enbi Plastics love to help you with all your questions about LSR.

Creating an optimal bond between a metal plate and the silicone: that was the challenge Enbi Plastics was given by Océ Technologies, a major player in printing and copying equipment. They needed a new wiper assy; a part on the print head that prevents streaks on the paper. Because this part needs to be somewhat flexible, silicone needed to be added to a small, punched metal plate, to which screw thread is welded. This construction did not allow for a mechanical bond between the metal and silicone, which meant chemical bonding was the only option. Together with the client, the mould supplier, the silicone supplier and others, we did extensive research into the best way to achieve this bond. It showed that preparing the small metal plates was the key. After several tests, we discovered the optimal way to do this. A number of factors play a role: from how to clean and sand the plate to humidity, temperature and the time in between the steps of the process. Every detail counts!

The Profile 40 from the company Scott is a half mask with high quality, whose design provides highest wear comfort and safety. Moreover, it fits perfectly with other safety products as well. The clear mask body is moulded from silicone, so that it is sealed easily without pressure and the tight fitting is retained while using. The fast applicable head straps hold securely the Profile 40 in its position. Features of Profile 40: 40 mm PA- thread, therefore suitable for full mask up to 300g One-piece elastically head straps for easily put on and remove Spacious facial parts with bellow parts at nose and chin Comprehensive filter range for a wide variety of operating range Writeable storage bag Choice between 2 sizes: S/M (167g) M/L (185g) Qualifications: CE- marking according to EN140, EN14387/2004, EN142:2000/A12006 Datenblatt
