Visiting Fakuma 2026? Here's what TYM is bringing to LSR injection molding, from machine technology to the applications we're showing this year. Read on for our exhibition plans and practical takeaways for teams producing liquid silicone parts.

On multi-station rotary LSR machines, station indexing accuracy quietly affects yield more than buyers expect. Learn why, and how to verify it.

A quick mold change system speeds changeovers, but it only pays back at certain order profiles. Learn how to judge whether it's worth the investment for you.

Back pressure on the LSR injection barrel affects trapped air and material density uniformity more than many process sheets acknowledge. Here's how to set it correctly.

On vertical LSR injection machines, gravity can cause uneven silicone encapsulation around inserts. Learn why, and what equipment-level compensation actually helps.

Diving and swim masks, along with other large-format thin-wall silicone products, present a machine selection problem that's genuinely different from sizing equipment for small precision parts. The instinct is often to assume "bigger part means bigger machine, get the largest clamping force available." In practice, the correct approach is closer to reverse engineering: starting from the part's actual projected area and cavity pressure requirements, then working backward to the clamping force the machine actually needs — because both underestimating and overestimating tonnage bring real costs.

If you run an LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) injection molding line, the feeding system is easy to overlook — until it starts costing you scrap rate, downtime, and inconsistent shot weights. Two technologies dominate the market today: pneumatic (air-driven) feeding systems and pure electric servo feeding systems. Here's an honest, practical comparison to help you decide which fits your production line.

An LSR injection molding machine spec sheet lists dozens of numbers, but only a handful decide whether your silicone parts cure fully, stay flash-free and cost little to run. This 2026 guide explains the parameters that matter most, so engineers and buyers can compare machines on the specs that actually affect part quality, not marketing figures.

Liquid silicone injection molding equipment has a single-color injection molding and two-color injection molding, single-color injection molding machine generally know can only do single-color silicone products, double color injection machine applications, do you know what are the products?

The global liquid silicone rubber (LSR) market is valued at roughly USD 3.4-3.8 billion in 2026 and growing about 7-9% annually, led by medical-grade demand (~44% of revenue) and rising EV production. Asia-Pacific dominates manufacturing capacity.

If you manufacture multi-material silicone parts, the bonding step is often the hidden bottleneck. Traditional liquid silicone rubber (LSR) overmolding relies on a separately applied primer to make the silicone stick to a plastic or metal substrate.

In liquid silicone rubber (LSR) manufacturing, product quality is heavily influenced by how effectively air is removed from the mold cavity. Trapped air can lead to bubbles, incomplete filling, surface defects, and reduced product consistency.

Clamping force is one of the most fundamental parameters in liquid silicone rubber injection molding. While many manufacturers focus heavily on injection pressure, metering accuracy, and mold design, the selection of proper clamp force directly influences product quality, mold lifespan, process stability, and overall production efficiency.

As manufacturing industries move toward sustainable and cost-efficient production models, energy optimization has become an increasingly important factor in liquid silicone rubber injection molding.

Liquid silicone rubber injection molding machines operate under highly specialized production conditions that require long-term precision, thermal stability, and continuous mechanical reliability.

The curing of Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) is a chemical reaction, known as cross-linking, where polymer chains are linked together to form a solid elastomer.

Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) is widely used for nose pads in protective goggles and face shields due to its unique combination of comfort, durability, and hygiene. Positioned directly on the bridge of the nose, these pads bear constant pressure during wear.

Antimicrobial liquid silicone rubber materials address growing concerns about healthcare-associated infections through controlled release of bacteriostatic agents.

Environmental responsibility drives innovation in liquid silicone rubber recycling technologies and sustainable manufacturing practices.

Hydrogen fuel cell technology represents promising pathway toward sustainable transportation and energy generation systems.

Liquid silicone injection molding production is a complex process involving multiple links such as material selection, parameter setting, and mold matching.

Application scenarios for liquid silicone rubber emphasize extreme environment performance and biocompatibility requirements. Medical device manufacturing utilizes LSR for implants, surgical instruments, and disposable components requiring sterilization compatibility.
