A September 2026 comparison from Lanpdt names LSR injection, compression and transfer molding as the three main production routes for silicone parts, and concludes that the right choice comes from a tooling-and-part-cost model run across several volumes. Lanpdt frames this as an engineering question. For a buyer it is also a capital and risk question: […]

Silicone Components for Electronics: Protection Against Heat, Moisture and Vibration?
1. Why Electronics Buyers Are Looking Past the Circuit Board The Enclosure Is Where Reliability Is Decided A board can pass every electrical test and still fail in the field if heat, water or vibration reaches it. The seal, the gasket, the grommet and the cushioning part are small line items, but they set the […]
Silicone Flash Is a Tooling Problem, Not a Trimming Problem: What B2B Buyers Should Evaluate Before Mold Approval
1. Why Flash Belongs in the Sourcing Conversation What Flash Is in Silicone Molding Flash is excess material that escapes the cavity through gaps at the parting line, around inserts, at ejector pins or through vents, then cures and stays attached to the part. In silicone, the material cures in a heated mold, so the […]
Silicone Transfer Molding for Custom Gaskets and Seals
Silicone Transfer Molding (STM) is one of the ideal processes for manufacturing custom gaskets and seals. With its high precision, reliability, and excellent material adaptability, silicone transfer molding has become the standard manufacturing technology widely used across various industries, especially in applications requiring complex shapes, micron-level precision, and superior sealing performance. This article delves into […]

Single-Acting vs Double-Acting Piston Seals: Which One is Right for You?
When it comes to hydraulic and pneumatic systems, piston seals are a critical component to ensure smooth and efficient operation. These seals prevent leaks, maintain pressure, and reduce the risk of contamination, but not all piston seals are made for the same purpose. Understanding the difference between single-acting and double-acting piston seals is essential for […]
How Silicone Compression Molding Shapes the Future of O-Rings and Washers: A Deep Dive into the Process
