Overmolding silicone onto polycarbonate guide

We are talking about overmolding silicone onto polycarbonate guide , as we all know , polycarbonate material is fire-retardant , abrasion-resistant, oxidation resistant , it’s of high level impact resistant, high grade transparent ,low shrinkage rate ,stable size ,anti-tiring ,anti-weather , good insulation properitess ,no smell and safe to human .

The type of polycarbonate include anti-static PC , electrically conductive PC , food grade PC , Chemical resistant PC etc

Due to such great properties , PC is widely used in electronic and medical industry and baby products , in a form that joins with silicone rubber material to make a designed product. They are joined together in a compression or injection molding machine , which is to overmold silicone onto polycarbonate.

Compression moulding Injection molding
