Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 25, 2006

Process provides prototype custom liquid silicone rubber components and bonded silicone to metal or plastic components within 10 working days.

Limfast liquid injection moulding is a new service offered by Rubber Industries for moulding custom liquid silicone rubber components and bonded silicone to metal or plastic components, delivered in prototype quantities within 10 working days.

Ideal for appliance, automotive, fluid power and mechanical system designers with fast track R and D programs, Rubber Industries' exclusive Limfast service quickly provides prototype quantities.

This unique service allows the design engineer to evaluate liquid silicone formulation options for specific colour and performance requirements.

It also allows the design engineer to evaluate a product design using production grade tooling and dedicated moulding equipment.

Rubber Industries' Limfast moulding provides a fast cure and cycle time making it ideal for custom seals, insulators, diffusers, valves, gaskets, bellows and components, to name just a few applications.

The liquid silicone rubber material has low compression set and resists damaging effects of light, ozone and moisture as well as heat for extended wear life.

Rubber Industries offers many liquid silicone rubber grades including UL, oil resistant and high strength.

Virtually any component configuration in any quantity can be Limfast moulded using Rubber Industries' large array of automated presses in a full range of tonnage sizes.

Rubber Industries provides cost-effective and dedicated, environmentally controlled moulding facilities that meet cleanliness requirements without more costly Class 1000 certification.

Included in its Limfast one-stop moulding capabilities, Rubber Industries provides complete material formulation, mould design and manufacture, silicone bonding to metal or plastic, complete in-house cryogenic de-flashing capabilities, component assembly and packaging.

Component designers should note Rubber Industries' mould design system.

This system uses a cost saving series of modular mould components whereby customers need purchase only their part's mould cavity, not the entire mould assembly.
