Silicone Compression Molding
I am working on a part molded out of 70A silicone for a consumer product application. My molder in China has made several rounds of prototypes that looked great. Now that we are requesting real quantities they are running into severe scrap issues, seeing short shots, blisters and parting line defects. They have tried several things to reduce their scrap rates but seem to be running into a wall. I am trying to find someone with compression molding experience that could review the design and manufacturers experience and provide additional guidance.
