Processing Technology of Silicone Rubber: Comparison between Pressing and Extrusion

Hits: 157 img

Silicone rubber is an excellent rubber material widely used in multiple industries, such as automobiles, electronics, and healthcare. In the production process of silicone rubber products, commonly used processing methods include extrusion and extrusion. This article will briefly compare these two processing techniques.

Pressing process:
The extrusion process is a method of mixing silicone rubber and extruding it into a continuous long cross-section through an extruder. This process is similar to the principle of a dough extruder. The extrusion process is suitable for producing products with simple shapes and continuous sections such as rubber pipes, rubber sealing strips, and rubber strips. This process has the following advantages:
Efficient production: The extrusion process can achieve efficient continuous production and is suitable for mass production of silicone rubber products.
Good consistency: Due to continuous extrusion, the cross-sectional shape of the product is relatively stable, ensuring consistency.

Extrusion process:
The extrusion process involves mixing silicone rubber and placing it into a predetermined mold. Through heating and pressure, the rubber material fills the cavity of the mold and forms the desired product shape. The extrusion process is suitable for producing products with complex and discontinuous shapes such as seals, gaskets, keyboards, etc. This process has the following advantages:
Wide application range: The extrusion process can manufacture various complex shaped silicone rubber products to meet the needs of different industries.
Strong flexibility: As it is formed through molds, molds can be quickly replaced to adapt to the production of different products.

Summary:
Pressing and extrusion are two commonly used processes in the processing of silicone rubber products. The extrusion process is suitable for products with simple shapes and continuous cross-sections, and is suitable for mass production; The extrusion process is suitable for products with complex shapes and discontinuous cross-sections, and has high flexibility. Manufacturers can choose suitable processing techniques based on product requirements and production scale to ensure stable quality and excellent performance of silicone rubber products produced.
