What is  Liquid Silicone Rubber Molding?

Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) molding is a high-precision injection molding process used to manufacture flexible, heat-resistant, and durable silicone rubber parts. The two-component liquid silicone material is mixed, injected into a heated mold cavity, and cured to form complex geometries with excellent dimensional stability. At XY Machining, we use advanced LSR injection molding systems to produce medical-grade, food-grade, and industrial silicone components. The process supports tight tolerances, intricate designs, and high repeatability, making it ideal for automotive, medical devices, electronics, and consumer products that require flexibility, chemical resistance, and long service life.
