Rubber Injection Molding Types
The rubber molding can be divided into 3 types based on the rubber material properties. They are butyl rubber injection molding, nitrile rubber injection molding, and LSR liquid silicone rubber injection molding. Here are some custom rubber molded parts for each type of rubber injection molding.
Rubber Injection Molding Surface Finishing
Injection molding surface finish is critical to a successful part design and it is used for aesthetic and functional reasons in injection molded parts for engineering products. The surface finish improves the look and the feel of a product as the perceived value and quality of the product increase with a suitable surface finish.
Different grades of surface finishing chart.
Glossy
A-grade finish is smooth and highly reflective, giving the product a shiny appearance. It’s often used for products where aesthetics are important.
Semi-glossy
The B-grade finish is less reflective than glossy but still has a smooth and somewhat shiny appearance.
Matte
C-grade finish is non-reflective and has a dull appearance. It’s often chosen for parts where glare or light reflection is undesirable.
Textured
D-grade finishes are intentionally rough or patterned. They can provide a better grip or a unique appearance to the product.
The Rubber Injection Molding Process
The rubber injection molding process mainly includes 4 stages, such as filling, pressure maintaining, cooling, and stripping. These 4 stages directly determine the custom rubber moulding products’ quality, and these 4 stages are a complete continuous process.
1. Filling stage
The filling is the first step in the entire injection cycle. The time is calculated from the beginning of injection when the mold is closed until the mold cavity is filled to about 95%.
2. Pressure-holding stage
The role of the pressure-holding stage is to apply continuous pressure to compact the melt and increase the density of the rubber (densification) to compensate for the shrinking behavior of the rubber.
3. Cooling stage
In injection mold, the design of the cooling system is very important. A well-designed cooling system can greatly shorten the molding time, improve injection molding productivity, and reduce costs.
4. Demoulding stage
Demoulding is the last step in an injection molding cycle. There are two main ways of release: ejector rod release and stripper plate release.
