LSR Parts or a Complete Mold
Complete LSR Molds
Source a complete mold for your designated production facility. Provide the receiving machine and material-delivery interface requirements, together with trial, aceptación, handover, and documentation needs.
State whether your inquiry covers finished parts, a complete mold, or both. Tooling ownership, included trials, maintenance responsibilities, and any transfer requirements should be recorded in the agreed scope.
Custom LSR Molded Components
The part name is a starting point. Its function within the finished assembly determines the material and manufacturing requirements.

Seals & Gaskets
Juntas moldeadas y empaques personalizados para superficies de acoplamiento. Revisar compresión, geometría de la ranura, resistencia a la compresión, medios de servicio, y requisitos de fuga.
Membranas & Diafragmas
Componentes flexibles que se deflectan o responden a la presión. Definir grosor, movimiento, diferencial de presión, requisitos de uso repetido, y transiciones sensibles al desgarro.
Válvulas & Componentes de control de flujo
Elementos de válvula flexibles y discos de sellado. Identificar comportamiento de apertura y cierre, geometría del asiento, condiciones de presión, y exposición al fluido.
Protectivo & Componentes de contacto
Cubiertas, botas, almohadillas, botones, y interfaces protectoras. Considerar retención, respuesta táctil, textura de la superficie, exposición ambiental, y apariencia.
Selección de material LSR
La dureza por sí sola no define el rendimiento del sellado, resistencia al desgarro, resistencia a la compresión, o durabilidad. Especificar las condiciones en las que la pieza terminada trabajará.
| Propiedad | Por qué es importante | Información a proporcionar |
|---|---|---|
| Dureza | Flexibility, deformación, y respuesta de contacto | Dureza Shore objetivo, tolerancia, or reference sample |
| Tensile & tear properties | Stretching, thin features, and demolding | Expected strain, feature geometry, and failure concerns |
| Compression set | Behavior under sustained compression | Compression, temperature, and service duration |
| Temperatura & media | Suitability in the operating environment | Temperature range, exposure time, fluids, and cleaning agents |
| Color & apariencia | Visible and contact surfaces | Color, transparency, texture, and appearance limits |
General-Purpose LSR
Select a grade that meets the required mechanical and environmental conditions.
Application-Specific Grades
Identify supporting documentation and material specifications for the intended use, including relevant medical or food-contact requirements.
Self-Bonding LSR
Review the compatible substrate, bonding method, curing conditions, and required retention performance.
Specialty Grades
Discuss optical properties, modified chemical resistance, or other specific performance requirements.
Estas categorías describen las posibilidades de selección de material, no una lista de grados automáticamente disponibles para cada proyecto. Proporcione el fabricante y el grado exacto cuando sea conocido; de lo contrario, describa el rendimiento requerido.
Diseño para moldeo LSR
El flujo de baja viscosidad y el comportamiento elástico crean requisitos distintos para el molde, liberación de la pieza, y aceptación de la pieza terminada.
Defina las superficies funcionales.
Marque las regiones de sellado, características de acoplamiento, y caras cosméticas en el dibujo. Estas prioridades guían la revisión del molde y la inspección.
Espesor de pared & Transiciones
Revise membranas delgadas, labios flexibles, y secciones más gruesas juntas. Llenado, curado, deformación, and release depend on the selected material and geometry.
Parting Lines & Flash
LSR can flow into very small gaps. Identify flash-sensitive sealing lips and interfaces, and agree acceptable edge conditions before tooling.
Rebajes & Demolding
Elasticity permits some undercuts to release, but deep features or thin sections may stretch excessively or tear. Review draft, release direction, and surrounding geometry.
Shrinkage & Dimensions
Use material- and process-specific allowances. Identify critical dimensions, datums, measurement conditions, and any required fixtures.
Gates, Venting & Surfaces
Consider filling and air evacuation alongside functional areas. Identify where gate marks or surface interruptions are unacceptable.
LSR or Thermoplastic Elastomer?
| Decision factor | LSR | TPE |
|---|---|---|
| Processing | Thermoset material cured in a heated mold | Generally melt-processed and solidified through cooling |
| Service performance | Evaluate the grade for temperature, media, and compression set | Compare the chosen TPE family under equivalent conditions |
| Reprocessing | Cured material cannot be remelted | Some grades permit melt reprocessing, subject to restrictions |
| Application evidence | Documentation must match the grade and intended use | Documentation must match the grade and intended use |
Compare candidate grades against the same operating conditions. Neither material family is universally better.
From Drawing Review to Production
Review Requirements
Provide drawings, part function, material requirements, operating conditions, and quantities. Identify unresolved design decisions.
Define Material & Herramientas
Review the grade, cavity arrangement, manufacturing approach, and approval requirements. For complete molds, include receiving-equipment compatibility.
Evaluate Initial Samples
Check dimensions, apariencia, material requirements, and agreed functional performance. Identify any tooling, process, material, or design changes.
Approve the Supply
Confirm the approved revision and deliverables: production parts with agreed inspection, or a complete mold with agreed trial and handover records.
LSR is typically metered and mixed as a two-component material, injected into a heated mold, and cured. Unlike conventional thermoplastic molding, it sets through curing rather than melt cooling. Tooling investment, cavity arrangement, cantidades, and inspection needs should be evaluated together.
Calidad & Functional Verification
Link approval criteria to what the component must do. Dimensions alone may not establish the performance of a flexible part.
Dimensions & Appearance
Review critical dimensions, profile, surface condition, flash, and drawing-defined features. Agree measurement methods, fixtures, and support conditions where required.
Material Verification
Confirm the specified grade and required supporting records. Where hardness or other properties form part of acceptance, define the test method and limits.
Functional Evaluation
Project requirements may include leakage, compression recovery, movimiento, repeated actuation, assembly fit, or exposure testing. Availability, methods, limits, and reporting are agreed per order.
Registros & Traceability
Specify material certificates, dimensional reports, first-article records, or batch traceability during quotation. Establish documentation scope before production.

Inspection methods and support conditions should avoid unintended deformation of flexible parts.
Common Engineering Questions
Prepare the initial review around your drawing, intended use, and acceptance requirements.
What hardness is suitable for my component?
Hardness depends on function, geometry, compresión, and the operating environment. Provide a specified grade or Shore A value where known; de lo contrario, describe the required behavior and include reference samples if available.
Can you supply a complete LSR mold?
Sí. GPT Precision supplies both finished LSR components and complete LSR molds. For a mold intended for your facility, include receiving-equipment interfaces, trial requirements, criterios de aceptación, and handover documentation.
Can LSR be molded with plastic or metal components?
Selected grades and substrates can support multi-material components. Review substrate compatibility, processing temperature, bonding or mechanical retention, geometry, and performance for the specific project.
Does LSR require post-curing?
Requirements depend on the material manufacturer’s guidance, processing conditions, and application. Where needed, define the treatment and acceptance criteria in the specification.
Can LSR meet medical or food-contact requirements?
Specific grades may have documentation for particular applications. Suitability must be established for the exact grade, intended use, processing conditions, and required evidence. The terms silicone, LSR, or platinum-cured alone do not establish compliance.
