Lighting Silicone Compression Molding | Custom Components
What is Lighting Silicone Compression Molding?
The process of molding is the molding of thermoset silicone with lighting integration. During this process, silicone polymer is put in a heated cavity mold. The lighting silicone compression molding is then cured under the applied heat and pressure, forming precise castings of silicone parts.
Advantages of SunOn Lighting Silicone Molding
1. High-Quality and Consistent Products
The process has constant silicone part tolerances, most of them being within ±0.2mm and ±0.5mm, depending on the part’s complexity. The parts produced from lighting silicone molding serve smooth and flawless optical and dimensional properties, which the LED lenses and diffusers require.
2. Versatility Across Lighting Applications
The components produced with lighting silicone compression molding include:
- LED and Smart light devices
- Architectural and Decorative Lighting
- Industrial Lighting Fixtures
3. Material Selections for Desired Functionality
Multiple silicone grades may be utilized accordingly:
• High-temperature silicone that can be used for heat-resistant lighting parts.
• Industrial silicone grade that can produce silicone parts for strong and long-lasting uses.
• Consistently stable molding and molding with thermosetting silicone for increased and better mold temperature.
4. Silicone Lighting Cost Saving Tooling
In comparison with other molding methods, compression molding for lighting silicone has the lowest tooling expenses. High volume production permits the use of multi-cavity molds, and thus serves as a productive molding technique for silicone lighting to lessen the isolation price.
5. Alterable Production
The production can support an almost unlimited variety of complex forms and diameters. From small gaskets and seals to huge silicone lenses and diffusers. This is very beneficial for silicone parts used for LED illumination that possess complex molds or are used with multi-cavity molds.
The Silicone Molding for Lighting Process
The rubber molding for lighting applications has a clear, trustworthy sequence of operation.
1. Preparation of Materials
Silicone Sheets or pellets of the needed grade for the desired parts' illumination silicone molds.
2. Tooling and Design of the Molds
Lighting device silicone molding is done with the use of single and multi-cavity molds that permit the precision molding of silicone for lighting devices.
3. Preheating the Mould
The mold is kept at a set temperature of 50 degrees Celsius to thermoset properly when processing elastomers for the lighting parts. This results in a steady silicone flow as well as even curing.
4. Placing the Silicone Moulding Compound
The silicone is pre-weighed to ensure that the silicone filling in the mold cavity covers even the most intricate features.
5. Heating the Silicone Moulding Compound
The closed mold is kept at specified temperature and pressure conditions until the silicone parts have cured. The result is silicone components for lighting, which are durable and flexible as well as heat-resistant.
6. Demoulding
Both the trimming and polishing processes are optional and are done to meet the standards set for silicone components used in lighting, which are kept at a very high value.
The bulk of the business policies is oriented on the fundamental requirement of maintaining the constant quality of the business:
- Tolerance: parts are ±0.2mm to ±0.5mm according to the complexity of the part.
- Cavity Molds: allow for the production of a high volume of molds.
- Categorized Silicone: used can be high-temperature silicone, industrial-grade silicone, or thermoset silicone.
- Cost of Tools: still cheaper in comparison to injection molds.
- Dimensions: can range from very small gaskets to large diffusers for LEDs.
- Certain Sectors: these include LED lights, smart lighting, decorative lighting, and even industrial lighting.
