Silicone Over-Moulding - Silicone bonded to plastics by injection moulding cleanSilicone over moulding is a two step process in which a thermoplastic part is injection moulded and then transferred manually or automatically to a second mould, where a liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is injected. Used for: The process is used to add a grip surface to smooth plastic handles, to make integral flexible hinges, and to add soft gaskets for waterproofing on plastic housings. Details: Liquid silicone rubber has excellent adhesion to

You can get an acrylic plate with a cured "F" - see the picture

The surface geometry is shallow and therefore difficult to see or feel

will degrade if exposed to UV light for prolonged periods

You get two small cubes that you can dissovle in water

Use an ohmmeter to test the functionality

the mould is opened and the part is ejected

a high surface area

The tape is also used to seal assemblies to prevent intrusion of liquids

A mesh similar to the sample with the large holes is used in an investment casting process to create open-cell aluminium foam

The softness of the tape provides good adhesion in applications where two bonded surfaces may expand and contract differently

Containers with in-mould labels are also easy to recycle if the label and the container are of the same material
