In modern industrial products, many basic things cannot be separated from the processing of molds. Many materials we see in daily life, such as hardware, plastic, silicone, and other punching materials, are made using different molds. Therefore, compared to many industry professionals, the importance of molds should be known. Similarly, in the silicone industry, it is no exception. Without molds and auxiliary tools, it is impossible to complete many of our products. In the silicone product industry, molds are the key to the entire product, and all products must be produced using molds to meet the requirements. However, silicone is different from plastic and hardware grinding tools in that it can be molded for sample making, which makes many people puzzled whether to use 3D printing or directly use production molds for sampling. Today, we will explain the different processes and methods of molds. Due to the fact that silicone product materials belong to soft colloids and are not processed using hard adhesives, 3D printing is a drawback. However, with the maturity of 3D printing, the use of soft adhesives is gradually becoming more mature. However, the material and workmanship of 3D printed soft adhesives still cannot achieve the desired effect and texture of the finished product. While the structure alone is not a problem, the effect still needs to be evaluated through the production of molds and the processing of finished products. The bulk mold and sample mold are the processes we need to go through. Many customers' silicone accessories cannot meet the requirements in terms of assembly and appearance, and they dare not rashly open production bulk molds. Otherwise, they are worried that the structure of the mold will not be correct after opening, and the appearance effect will not meet the requirements, resulting in poor quality of the silicone product and difficult project progress. Therefore, in the early stage of production, in order to meet the customer's appearance and structure requirements and achieve a similar fitting effect, we need to open a small mold and create a sample mold for comparison. After achieving the desired effect, we can proceed with the production of bulk molds. The difference between the production mold and the large goods mold is that the large goods mold can produce many points in a the first mock examination, which can be more efficient in production and processing in mass production. The sample mold is used for the qualification requirements of experimental samples in the early stage. Their difference is that one is only used for sample making experiments, and the other is used for mass production of large goods. So many friends do not understand why it is not possible to directly use sample molds for mold production. Today, I will explain to you that the production efficiency of silicone product processing manufacturers determines the unit price and profit of products. For example, a mold with one output can only produce 100 pieces per day, while a mold with 10 output can produce 1000 pieces per day. In the case of a large difference in production capacity, the processing cost of products will invisibly increase. Therefore, why silicone manufacturers are unwilling to use sample molds for mass production is also due to the increase in cost caused by different molds.

Every industry uses small parts, so many things happen around us. Silicone accessories are indispensable for sealing and protective products in all industries. The function and impact of silicone accessories can play a significant role in many product combinations, and the combination of softness and hardness can completely affect any functional issues. So improper selection of hardness for silicone accessories can lead to quality issues. What are the effects of different software and hardware on functionality? Spare parts are mainly used for assembly, sealing, shock absorption, protection, and intermittent maintenance. However, the softness and hardness of silicone have disadvantages in different functions. In terms of sealing function, if the hardness of silicone seals is high and the folding adhesive force is low, it is likely to cause leakage in the remaining parts. After long-term stress aging, the service life of silicone seals will be affected to some extent, resulting in fracture and cracking. Low hardness can buffer functionality. In terms of waterproof function, reducing the hardness as much as possible can more effectively achieve the waterproof effect. However, the material and thickness of the product must be appropriate in order to achieve good tensile rebound. In terms of cushioning and shock absorption, silicone products need to achieve medium to high hardness values as much as possible. Due to the influence of stress, a low hardness value of the product is likely to result in insufficient shock absorption effect and inability to achieve functionality. Secondly, the assembled low hardness silicone accessories are likely to achieve active cushioning and shock absorption, leading to looseness and detachment. After increasing the hardness value, not only can the firmness be improved, but also due to the high hardness value, it can play a buffering role. Assembly, many silicone accessory manufacturers know that sealing accessories are assembled using different materials, and the integrity of the assembly is also affected by hardness, leading to functional issues with the product. Materials with high hardness are difficult to assemble, and the higher the hardness, the smaller the tensile rebound. Therefore, high hardness accessories should be assembled with as little stretching as possible, while low hardness accessories are better. However, attention should also be paid to the issue of excessive stretching.

The application scenarios of silicone are becoming increasingly diverse, with low-temperature silicone and high-temperature silicone being suitable for different temperature environments and production needs due to their unique performance advantages. Although both belong to the silicone category, there are significant differences in chemical formulations, process requirements, performance, and application scenarios. This article analyzes the differences between the two from key dimensions, providing accurate references for industry procurement and application.   The key difference between low-temperature silicone and high-temperature silicone 1. Different temperature resistance range and formula. The main advantage of low-temperature silicone is its adaptability to extreme low-temperature environments. The structure is optimized by introducing methyl phenyl siloxane chains into the molecular chain. The typical low-temperature resistance range is -40 ℃ to 120 ℃. Its core advantage is that it will not become brittle at low temperatures and has a low compression permanent deformation rate. High temperature silicone is mainly made of vinyl silicone rubber, with heat-resistant agents added to enhance stability. The regular model can withstand temperatures of 200 ℃ to 300 ℃ for a long time, while the special model can withstand high temperatures of 400 ℃ for a short period of time, while also possessing basic cold resistance of -65 ℃. 2. Sulfurization process and production characteristics: Low temperature silicone gel adopts low-temperature rapid vulcanization technology, which can be formed at 120 ℃ without adding vulcanizing agents or secondary vulcanization. The production process does not produce waste gas, the product has no odor, and the dimensional stability is better. High temperature silicone is mostly a two-component heating vulcanization process that requires vulcanization molding at temperatures above 180 ℃. Some products require secondary vulcanization to improve performance, and the production cycle is relatively long. However, the molded products have better tear resistance and aging resistance, making them suitable for large-scale standardized production. Only by accurately distinguishing the key differences between low-temperature silicone and high-temperature silicone can we achieve precise matching between material properties and application requirements, ensuring product reliability and optimizing production costs. With the development of formulation technology, the performance boundaries between the two are gradually expanding, but the core positioning based on temperature adaptability is still the key basis for selection. Therefore, it is necessary to know the differences between the two.

How to achieve precise adaptation through customized silicone products? Silicone products are widely used in industrial manufacturing and daily life due to their elasticity, weather resistance, and plasticity. However, in the face of complex and ever-changing application scenarios, generic products often struggle to meet special needs. Whether it's precision components for medical devices, waterproof buttons for electronic devices, or high-temperature resistant seals for the automotive industry, customized silicone products have become the core of solving problems. How to use scientific design, material selection, and process control to make silicone products perfectly fit equipment functions and usage environments.   Design phase: Conversion from requirements to solutions The customization of silicone products begins with precise capture of demand. Designers need to comprehensively consider factors such as product usage, mechanical properties, and environmental adaptability. For example, medical grade silicone needs to meet biocompatibility standards, while outdoor equipment components require enhanced UV resistance. When designing, it is necessary to predict the shrinkage rate of silicone in vulcanization molding (usually 1.5% -3%), and reserve a reasonable demolding slope (generally ≥ 1 °) to avoid difficulties in demolding due to complex structure. For parts with inverted or internal angles, it is also necessary to design a slider or inclined top mechanism to ensure smooth opening and closing of the mold.   Material selection: balance between performance and cost The type of silicone material directly affects the performance of the finished product. Liquid silica gel (LSR) is commonly used in precision medical devices due to its high resilience and stability; Solid silicone gel (RTV) is suitable for conventional sealing components in the consumer electronics field due to its lower cost. If the product needs to withstand high temperatures (such as car intake pipes), heat-resistant silicone with a temperature resistance of up to 200 ℃ can be selected; If long-term contact with the human body is required (such as baby products), non-toxic and odorless medical grade materials should be used. In addition, TPE particle modification technology can further enhance the elasticity and wear resistance of silicone. For example, a medical device company improved the tensile strength of silicone handles to 12MPa through TPE modification, far exceeding the industry average.   Process control: Details determine success or failure The molding process of silicone products needs to match the product characteristics. Injection molding is suitable for parts with complex structures and large batches, and can achieve a dimensional accuracy of ± 0.01mm through high-temperature vulcanization; Compression molding is more suitable for small-scale production, but strict control of mold temperature (usually 140-180 ℃) and pressure (50-100MPa) is required. The surface treatment process is equally critical, such as achieving a strong bond between silicone and plastic through secondary encapsulation molding, or adding markings through laser engraving. Taking the silicone button of a certain night vision device as an example, the use of silicone wrapped plastic integrated molding technology not only prevents dust and water, but also extends the product's service life.   Quality Verification: From Laboratory to Practical Application Customized silicone products require multidimensional testing. Tensile testing and aging testing (such as performance retention rate ≥ 90% after accelerated aging for 1000 hours) can verify material stability; Dimensional inspection requires the use of a coordinate measuring instrument to ensure that the tolerance is controlled within ± 0.02mm. In practical applications, a surgical instrument manufacturer has customized curved silicone handles to reduce doctors' fatigue by 30% during operation and completely solve the problem of traditional silicone cracking. This type of case confirms the direct value of customized solutions in enhancing functionality.   Delivery and Service: A Continuous Optimization Loop Customization of silicone products is not a one-time transaction, but a complete service chain from design to delivery. High quality suppliers will optimize formulas or processes based on customer feedback, such as adjusting the silicone formula to improve the sealing performance by 50% for the leakage problem of a certain car cable joint. Meanwhile, the ability to respond quickly is crucial, as some companies can complete mold opening and sample production within 7 days, shortening the research and development cycle.   The customization of silicone products is essentially a deep match between demand and technology. Through precise design, scientific material selection, and technological innovation, not only can functional problems in complex scenarios be solved, but products can also be endowed with higher reliability and competitiveness. When every customization process is centered around actual needs, silicone products can truly become the "invisible pillar" in industry and life.

How to check the quality of silicone products? Due to their unique physical and chemical properties, silicone products are widely used in various fields such as medical, maternal and child care, kitchen, electronics, and industry. However, the quality of silicone products in the market varies greatly, and how to scientifically check their quality has become a focus of consumer attention. This article will systematically analyze the quality inspection methods of silicone products from four dimensions: appearance, physical properties, chemical safety, and adaptability to usage scenarios, combined with industry testing standards and daily practical skills.   Appearance inspection: intuitive judgment of basic quality Appearance is the first threshold for the quality of silicone products. The surface of high-quality silicone products should be smooth and flat, without defects such as bubbles, cracks, missing glue, impurities, etc. For example, food grade silicone tableware needs to be visually inspected for uniform color and clear and firm printing patterns to avoid health risks caused by pigment migration. In the medical field, the appearance inspection of silicone sealing rings is more stringent. It is necessary to use a magnifying glass or microscope to inspect the surface for burrs and burrs, as these small defects may affect the sealing performance and cause liquid or gas leakage. In addition, the dimensional accuracy of silicone products also needs to be measured using tools such as calipers and micrometers to ensure that the error with the design requirements is within the allowable range.   Physical performance testing: quantitative evaluation of core indicators The physical properties of silicone directly determine its applicable scenarios and service life. Hardness testing: Measure the hardness value (Shore A) of silicone gel using a Shore hardness tester, with different hardness ranges corresponding to different applications. For example, kitchen silicone shovels need to be soft and heat-resistant (with a hardness of about 30-40A), while sealing rings need to have a higher hardness (50-70A) to ensure sealing. Tensile and tear strength: The tensile strength of high-quality silicone should be ≥ 8MPa, and the tear strength should be ≥ 25kN/m. The tear resistance can be tested by stretching the sample to twice its original length, observing whether it quickly rebounds without deformation, or simulating the shear force in actual use. Temperature resistance: The temperature range of silicone is usually -40 ℃ to 230 ℃. You can observe its flexibility by boiling it in boiling water for 30 minutes or freezing it for 24 hours. High quality silicone should be kept without deformation or brittleness. Wear resistance: For high-frequency usage scenarios (such as silicone phone cases), friction testing can be used to simulate daily wear and observe whether there are scratches or discoloration on the surface.   Chemical safety testing: strict control of health risks The chemical safety of silicone products is of utmost importance in quality inspection, especially for food grade and medical grade products. Hazardous substance detection: Professional institutions need to be used to detect whether silicone contains harmful substances such as heavy metals (such as lead and cadmium), plasticizers (such as phthalates), bisphenol A (BPA), etc. For example, the VOC (volatile organic compound) content of food grade silicone should be less than 0.5% and certified by international organizations such as FDA and LFGB. Migration substance test: Soak silicone products in a specific solvent (such as simulated gastric acid solution) to detect the precipitation of harmful substances. This test is particularly important for products that come into direct contact with food, such as baby pacifiers and tableware. Odor and combustion test: High quality silicone has only a slight raw material odor and no pungent chemical odor. When burning, white smoke should be emitted, and the residue is white powder; If combustion produces black smoke or irritating odors, it may contain inferior additives.   Application scenario adaptation detection: precise matching of functional requirements The quality of silicone products needs to be comprehensively evaluated based on specific usage scenarios. Sealing performance: For products such as sealing rings and bottle caps, their sealing effect can be tested by water or air pressure testing. For example, install the silicone seal ring on the container and apply pressure to observe for any leakage. Anti slip performance: For silicone foot mats, anti slip pads and other products, their anti slip coefficient can be measured by sliding tests on different material surfaces (such as glass, wood). Biocompatibility: Medical grade silicone gel needs to undergo biocompatibility tests such as cell culture and skin irritation testing to ensure that it is non-toxic and harmless when in contact with the human body. Aging resistance: Simulate long-term outdoor use environment through ultraviolet aging test to observe whether silicone products change color, become brittle or have decreased performance.

Will silicone products melt when exposed to high temperatures? As a polymer material widely used in daily life and industrial fields, silicone has become a popular choice for kitchen utensils, medical equipment, electronic accessories, and other scenarios due to its high and low temperature resistance, non-toxic and environmentally friendly characteristics. However, there is always a question about whether silicone products will melt when exposed to high temperatures. This article will comprehensively analyze this issue from the dimensions of material characteristics, temperature resistance range, usage scenarios, and precautions of silicone, combined with industry data and practical cases.   1. Material characteristics of silicone: high-temperature resistant underlying logic The main component of silicone is silicon dioxide, which has a stable molecular chain structure and strong cohesion. This characteristic makes silicone less prone to decomposition or chemical reactions in high temperature environments. Unlike ordinary plastics, silicone has a very high melting point, theoretically requiring temperatures above 2000 ℃ to melt, and such extreme temperatures are rarely encountered in daily use. Under high temperature conditions, silicone first undergoes a dehydration process, but this process does not damage its core structure, so it will not deform or release toxic substances due to melting like plastic. For example, food grade silicone can be used for a long time below 250 ℃ without decomposing or producing harmful substances, making it an ideal material for baking molds, baby pacifiers, and other products. 2. Temperature resistance range of silicone products: analysis by scenario The temperature resistance performance of silicone products varies depending on the type and application, mainly divided into the following three categories: Ordinary silicone: The temperature resistance range is usually between -40 ℃ and 160 ℃, suitable for normal or low temperature environments, such as silicone accessories, gifts, etc. If this type of silicone is exposed to high temperatures for a long time, it may accelerate aging but will not melt. Food grade silicone: The temperature resistance range is extended to -40 ℃ to 250 ℃, and it can withstand high temperatures in cooking, baking, and other scenarios. For example, silicone spatulas are safe to use below 230 ℃ and will not be immediately damaged even if they come into contact with an open flame (such as a gas stove) for a short period of time, but it is necessary to avoid prolonged direct heating. Special high-temperature resistant silicone: By adding heat-resistant additives or using special processes, the temperature resistance can reach 300 ℃ to 350 ℃, or even higher. This type of silicone is commonly used in extreme environments such as aerospace and industrial sealing, such as oven seals, electronic component trays, etc. 3. Precautions for High Temperature Use Scenarios: Avoid Misconceptions Although silicone products have excellent high-temperature resistance, the following details should still be noted in practical use: Avoid direct contact with open flames: Although silicone is not easily melted, direct flame heating may cause local temperatures to become too high, leading to deformation or coking. For example, silicone shovels should not be placed on gas stoves that have not been turned off for a long time. Control the duration of high temperature: Even if the temperature resistance range meets the standard, prolonged exposure to high temperatures may accelerate the aging of silicone gel. For example, continuous use of baking molds in an environment above 250 ℃ for more than 2 hours may affect their service life. Choose compliant products: Poor quality silicone may have decreased temperature resistance due to impurities in its composition. When purchasing, it is necessary to confirm that the product meets food grade or medical grade standards and check the temperature resistance label. Distinguishing usage scenarios: Ordinary silicone products (such as phone cases) are not suitable for high temperature environments, while food grade or special silicone products need to be selected according to their corresponding scenarios based on their labeling. 4. Industry application case: Safety practices under high temperatures Kitchen utensils: Silicone spatulas, baking molds, and other products are safe to use below 230 ℃ and will not scratch cookware. For example, a laboratory test showed that a food grade silicone spatula remained intact after being placed in a 250 ℃ oven for 30 minutes without releasing any harmful substances. Medical field: Silicone catheters, prostheses, etc. require strict high-temperature disinfection processes. Medical grade silicone can withstand high temperature steam disinfection from 120 ℃ to 180 ℃ without deformation or release of toxins. Industrial sealing: Special high-temperature resistant silicone is used for engine sealing strips, which can work for a long time in environments above 300 ℃ to ensure stable operation of equipment.   Silicone products will not easily melt in high temperature environments, and their temperature resistance depends on the material type and usage scenario. Ordinary silicone is suitable for room temperature environments, food grade silicone can cover cooking and baking needs, while special silicone can cope with extreme high temperatures. When using, avoid direct open flames, control the duration of high temperatures, and choose compliant products. With the advancement of materials science, the temperature resistance range and application scenarios of silicone will continue to expand, providing safer solutions for life and industry.

Newly purchased silicone products, such as silicone tableware, silicone toys, and silicone phone cases, sometimes emit a special odor. Although the odor of qualified silicone products mostly originates from small molecular substances left over from processing, which are non-toxic and harmless, the unpleasant smell can still affect the user experience. Today, I will share with you several quick and effective methods for removing the odor from silicone products.   (1) Physical odor removal method 1. Ventilation method: This is the most basic and simple method. Place silicone products in a well-ventilated place, such as a balcony or by a window, allowing natural wind to accelerate the evaporation of odors. Generally, after 2-3 days of ventilation, the odor will be significantly reduced. Silicone tableware, silicone phone cases, etc. can all be treated in this way. 2. Sunlight exposure method: Ultraviolet rays in sunlight not only disinfect and sterilize, but also accelerate the internal air circulation of silicone products, which helps the volatilization of odors. However, the duration of exposure to direct sunlight should be strictly controlled to avoid prolonged exposure, as this can easily cause the surface of silicone to age or discolor. For example, silicone toys can be exposed to sunlight for 1-2 hours, and they should be taken back promptly once the time is up. 3. Boiling Water Soaking Method: First, clean the silicone products with detergent to remove surface impurities and oil stains. Then, soak them in boiling water for about 2 hours, and finally remove and air dry. This method is effective for high-temperature resistant products such as silicone kitchenware and silicone cups. For example, after soaking a newly purchased silicone steamer mat in boiling water, the odor will be greatly reduced.   (2) Chemical odor removal method 1. White vinegar wiping method: After diluting white vinegar, use a clean soft cloth to dip the solution and wipe the surface of silicone products, then rinse with clean water. The acidity of white vinegar can neutralize odor molecules, achieving the purpose of removing odor. Methods like silicone keyboard protective film, silicone mouse pad, etc. can be wiped and deodorized using this method. 2. Toothpaste scrubbing method: Squeeze toothpaste onto a wet cotton cloth, then scrub the surface of silicone products in a circular motion. After it foams, continue scrubbing for about 1 minute, and finally rinse with clean water. The cleaning ingredients and abrasive particles in toothpaste can effectively remove odors and stains, and are suitable for most silicone products, such as silicone ornaments and decorations.   (3) Professional odor removal method There are odor removers specifically designed for silicone products on the market. When using them, simply follow the product instructions, apply or spray the odor remover evenly on the surface of the silicone product, let it sit for a while, and then rinse it with clean water and let it dry. This method is effective for silicone products with strong odors, but it is important to choose odor removers produced by reputable manufacturers and that meet safety standards.

As the saying goes, where there is an advantage, there cannot be a disadvantage. No product can be absolutely foolproof, and basically all have some flaws or weaknesses. Silicone materials occupy a part of our daily lives in household goods. Dust accumulation is one of the more common defects of silicone products. Even products freshly produced by silicone manufacturers often exhibit dust attraction. Therefore, this can be considered a common problem across the industry and one of the drawbacks of many products. The main reason is the unique properties of the material. What are the main factors affecting its ability to attract dust? Adsorption is an inherent characteristic of silicone rubber materials. It serves functions such as mold prevention, desiccant, and moisture absorption in the silicone rubber industry. The high-activity adsorption characteristic is inherent to silica, which automatically adsorbs fine dust from the surrounding environment. The main reason is that the physical material of silica is anodic. In addition to silicone rubber daily necessities, it is also used as an auxiliary material and compound material in many inorganic silicone products. However, unlike the crosslinking agent, which has a significant reaction function on adsorption, if the silanol groups are completely destroyed, the adsorption capacity is reduced or even eliminated. Nevertheless, different silicone rubber products are also influenced by other external factors, such as the following! The reason why the hardness of the material affects dust adsorption is primarily due to the different crosslinking agents added, which result in varying adsorption strengths. Silicone products with lower hardness are more prone to dust accumulation. Since the cost of silane coupling agent, the main component of the material, increases with lower product hardness, the resulting adsorption strength is greater. Products with higher hardness generally face the same issue, but their adsorption strength is not as strong as that of low-hardness silicone products! In the materials, silicone oil also affects the adsorption strength. The more silicone oil components in the material during the refining process, the greater the surface stickiness, which in turn leads to a higher degree of dust adhesion on the product. This phenomenon is not primarily a matter of adsorption strength, but rather the surface silicone oil causing the product to be more sticky, which naturally leads to dust adsorption. Next comes the mold issue. The different mold surfaces of silicone rubber product manufacturers affect the product's ability to adsorb dust differently. Since mold surfaces are divided into matte and polished mirror surfaces, matte molds are usually further divided into coarse matte and fine matte. Different matte surfaces have varying effects on the product's ability to attract dust. The most sticky surface is the polished mirror surface, which has no gaps or sand holes on the surface. Coupled with the unique adsorption ability of silicone, it naturally leads to dust attraction issues. The main reasons for dust accumulation issues are the inherent properties of the materials and the control issues faced by silicone processing manufacturers. However, through process refinement and technological advancements, various methods have been developed to prevent dust accumulation on silicone products. Currently, most silicone products undergo surface treatments to prevent dust adsorption, such as oil spraying, electrostatic rubber materials, and surface coating processes!

Silicone sealing plugs are widely used in various fields, such as food packaging, medical devices, and household appliances. However, due to the diversity and complexity of their usage environments, the lifespan and functionality of silicone sealing plugs are often affected. So, how can we control and enhance the performance of silicone sealing plugs in the early stages of production to prolong their service life?   In terms of sealing function, the most feared issues are aging, deformation, leakage, and damage of the seal. These problems will not only affect the overall functionality of the product but also significantly reduce its service life. Furthermore, during use, as time goes on, its resilience and compression performance will gradually decrease, thereby affecting its functionality. There are many ways to improve the performance of silicone seals. Silicone manufacturers should make sufficient preparations before production and molding, and understand the application environment and special requirements of the products in advance. During the early stages of custom processing, the following points should be noted!   1. Select high-quality silicone material Choosing high-quality silicone material is the foundation for extending the lifespan of silicone sealing plugs. High-quality silicone material exhibits superior temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance, enabling it to withstand a wider range of environmental conditions and thus prolonging the service life of silicone sealing plugs.   2. Reasonable structural design The structural design of silicone sealing plugs has a crucial impact on their lifespan and functionality. A reasonable design can enable the silicone sealing plugs to better adapt to various usage environments, enhance their load-bearing capacity and resilience, and thereby prolong their service life. 3. Select materials according to different application environments For example, in the early stages of production, it is possible to first understand the product's usage environment. For UV resistance, choose UV-resistant silicone; for high temperature resistance, choose flame-retardant silicone; for tensile friction, choose oil-emitting silicone; for certain special properties, rubber materials can be used as alternatives. Different materials are chosen for different environments! 4. Selection of material hardness The hardness of silicone sealing plugs significantly impacts their functionality. Silicone, being a soft material, achieves its sealing performance through compression. Therefore, the choice of hardness for silicone plugs should be based on the intended function and usage environment. The typical hardness range is between 20 and 80.   The normal range for selecting silicone plugs is between 30 and 60, with special ones having lower or higher values. The higher the hardness value, the harder the material. Therefore, we need to be cautious when choosing the softness or hardness, as it may affect the overall functionality of the product. Silicone sealing plugs, as a material widely used in various fields, have greatly benefited from the improvement of their lifespan and functionality, which has significantly contributed to the overall functionality of the main body. By selecting high-quality silicone materials, designing reasonable structures, selecting appropriate materials, and adjusting hardness, the lifespan of silicone sealing plugs can be improved. With the continuous research and development in the rubber and plastic industry, it is believed that more new materials and technologies will be applied to the research, development, and production of silicone sealing plugs, driving the continuous improvement of their performance to meet people's ever-growing demands.

How does silicone product customization bring creativity into daily life? Silicone product customization is quietly changing people's perception of daily necessities. This material combines flexibility, high temperature resistance, and environmental friendliness, and its application scenarios are constantly expanding, from kitchen utensils to medical equipment, from electronic product accessories to children's toys. When personalized demand becomes mainstream, silicone customization services, with flexible design space and precise functional adaptation, allow creativity to move from the drawing board to reality. Whether it is a uniquely shaped home decor or an ergonomic medical aid, silicone products are infiltrating the details of life in a unique way, becoming a bridge that connects imagination with practical value. Today, Weishun Silicone will take you to understand how silicone product customization brings creativity into daily life.   The core of silicone customization lies in the deep control over form and function. Designers can achieve complex structures through precision mold technology, such as transparent shells with micro-carved textures or three-dimensional hollow designs. A cultural and creative brand has launched a replaceable scene blind box that utilizes the transparency and elasticity of silicone material to allow for free combination of internal components, preserving collectible value while adding interactive fun. In the medical field, silicone's biocompatibility is utilized to customize orthoses for patients, generating a support structure that fits the body through 3D scanning data, enhancing comfort during use. This transformation from two-dimensional sketches to three-dimensional objects allows creativity to break through traditional production constraints and find a path to implementation.   The diverse options for color and texture further unleash the design potential. Unlike standardized products with fixed color schemes, silicone customization allows for a full range of colors to be blended, achieving special effects such as gradients and metallic luster. A sports brand designed a luminescent silicone palm pattern for cycling gloves, enhancing nighttime safety while creating a visual highlight; beauty tools combine translucent jelly texture with laser spots to create a differentiated product experience. This precise control over visual language enables silicone products to attract attention even before they are used.   The small-batch flexible production model lowers the threshold for innovation. Traditional manufacturing requires a minimum order quantity of tens of thousands of units, while silicone customization, through digital modeling and liquid-controlled injection technology, can achieve trial production of hundreds of units. Leveraging this advantage, a college student's entrepreneurial project launches monthly constellation-themed phone holders, controlling inventory risk through a pre-sale model and ultimately successfully opening up the market. This rapid iteration capability allows start-up teams to verify ideas at low cost and also prompts companies to optimize designs in a timely manner based on user feedback. For example, an electronic brand increased the thickness of silicone phone cases from 1.2mm to 1.5mm to improve drop resistance.   Cross-disciplinary applications continue to expand the value boundaries of silicone. In kitchen supplies, high-temperature resistant baking molds can be directly exposed to heat sources; in electronic devices, waterproof silicone button protective covers extend their lifespan; and in automotive interiors, anti-slip pads solve the problem of abnormal noise. Some companies even integrate conductive particles into silicone to develop bendable smart wearable device casings. These cases demonstrate that silicone is not only a morphological carrier but also a crucial medium for functional realization. With the maturity of 3D printing technology, individual consumers may be able to directly participate in design in the future, making silicone products a truly customized part of life.
