LSR Overmolding
A company that molds plastic components on a contract basis can overmold bondable liquid silicone rubber (LSR). Rogan Corp. injection-molds the bondable LSR directly to plastic or metal parts, integrating the silicone rubber with the plastic or metal in a single molded product that features an enhanced appearance and adds the performance characteristics of LSR to those of the substrate material. The benefits of bondable-LSR overmolding include integral shock and vibration protection, sound dampening, minimization of the number of components in an assembly, and simplified inventory management.
