How to shape the silicone sealing ring?

  • 2023-04-25

Silicone sealing rings are widely used in various industries due to their excellent thermal stability, compression set resistance, and chemical resistance. The formability of silicone seals and gaskets is an important aspect of their production, and it requires a specific process to achieve the desired shape. The first step in molding a silicone seal is to prepare the mold. Molds are usually made of metal or plastic and should be designed to match the shape and size of the desired ring. Molds should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected for any defects or damage before use. Any damage or defect in the mold may cause the final product to be defective.


The next step is to choose the right silicone material. Silicone materials come in different grades and types, and it is important to choose the right material for the application. Some of the factors to consider when selecting a silicone material include desired temperature resistance, desired chemical resistance, and the overall durability of the material.


Once the silicone material has been chosen, it's time to mix the material with the curing agent. The mixing process should be done carefully and accurately to ensure the final product has the desired characteristics. If the mixing ratio is incorrect, the final product may be too soft, too hard or not cure properly.


Next, pour the mixed silicone material into the mold. The mold should be completely filled, but care should be taken not to overfill. Overfilling the mold may cause deformation of the final product.


The filled mold is then placed in an oven or autoclave to cure. The curing process may take hours or even days, depending on the size and thickness of the ring. During this time, the silicone material reacts chemically, allowing it to harden and take on the desired shape.


After the curing process is complete, the mold is removed from the oven or autoclave, and the silicone ring is removed from the mold. Care should be taken not to damage the ring during this process. Then inspect the ring for any flaws or blemishes. Faulty or faulty silicone sealing ring may need to be discarded, or may require further processing or modification.


In some cases, additional processing may be required to obtain the desired shape. This may involve trimming, cutting or grinding the ring to the desired size and shape. Care should be taken during this process to ensure that the final product is not damaged. Finally, the silicone seal is ready to use. Store in a clean, dry place.
