What silicone products are produced by extrusion molding?

Extrusion molding is used to produce various silicone products. In the production process of silicone products, extrusion molding has become one of the important methods for manufacturing various silicone products due to its high efficiency, flexibility, and customizability. From simple rectangular silicone tubes to complex braided tubes, two-color tubes, etc., extrusion molding technology not only enriches the types of silicone products, but also greatly meets the needs of different industries and application scenarios.

Squeezing, as the name suggests, is the process of extruding mixed silicone rubber raw materials into products with regular shapes through molds at a certain temperature and pressure using an extruder. The core of this process lies in the design of the mold, and different molds can produce silicone products with different shapes. For example, common silicone tubes, sealing strips, foam strips, etc. are all manufactured using extrusion molding technology. These products are widely used in various fields such as healthcare, food, electronics, and construction due to their excellent elasticity, weather resistance, and chemical stability.

In the medical field, silicone tubing is often used as a catheter, drainage tube, etc. in medical devices due to its non-toxic, odorless, and biocompatible characteristics. Extrusion molding technology can produce silicone tubes with precise inner and outer diameters and uniform tube walls, meeting the strict requirements for product quality and accuracy in the medical field. Meanwhile, the flexibility and corrosion resistance of silicone tubing also make it an ideal choice for medical processes such as hemodialysis and infusion.

The food industry also relies on silicone products produced by extrusion molding technology. Silicone sealing strips, silicone gaskets and other products are often used in food packaging, food machinery and other occasions due to their excellent temperature resistance and food grade safety standards. These silicone products not only effectively prevent food leakage and contamination, but also maintain stable performance in harsh environments such as high temperature and high pressure.

Extrusion molding technology also plays an important role in the fields of electronics and electrical engineering. For example, products such as silicone braided tubes and two-color tubes are often used for insulation protection of wires and cables due to their good insulation, high temperature resistance, and flexibility. These silicone products not only improve the safety performance of wires and cables, but also enable them to maintain good conductivity and service life in complex environments such as bending and twisting.

In addition, extrusion molding technology can also produce foam silicone products such as foam strips, foam tubes, etc. These foam silicone products are often used in fields such as automotive interiors and building soundproofing due to their lightweight, soft, and sound-absorbing properties. By adjusting the type and amount of foaming agent, foam silicone products with different densities and hardness can be produced to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

It is worth mentioning that extrusion molding technology is not only suitable for the production of simple rectangular silicone products, but can also produce silicone products with more complex shapes and diverse functions through innovative mold design. For example, using co extrusion technology, multiple colors of silicone materials can be extruded simultaneously to form two-color or multi-color silicone products. These products not only have a beautiful appearance, but can also be customized according to individual needs to meet the diverse needs of consumers.

In addition to the application fields mentioned above, extrusion molding technology also plays an important role in many other fields. For example, in toy manufacturing, silicone extruded products have become an ideal choice for children's toys due to their soft, safe, and non-toxic characteristics; In the manufacturing of sports equipment, silicone extruded products are widely used in fitness equipment, sports protective gear, and other products due to their wear resistance, slip resistance, and good elasticity.

The application range of extrusion molding technology in the production of silicone products is wide and diversified. By adjusting the design of molds, the formula of raw materials, and the process parameters during production, silicone products that meet the needs of different industries and application scenarios can be produced.
