Liquid Silicone Injection Molding for Custom Silicone Molding Applications
Liquid Injection Molding (LIM) for silicone rubber is a fast growing segment of Itran Precision Rubber molding operations. The fast cure cycles and improved performance properties of liquid silicone rubber make it a good choice for small molded components. Unlike most thermoplastic elastomers (TPRs and TPEs), liquid silicone rubber (LSR) remains flexible and elastic beyond -70°F and retains its properties up to 450°F. Liquid silicone rubber is a good candidate for seals, valves, and pads used for communications, data acquisition instruments and electronic devices where outdoor conditions are demanding. Cured liquid silicone rubber does not out-gas volatiles and plasticizers. In the liquid silicone injection molding process, a key advantage of liquid silicone rubber over gum based compression molding silicone compounds is the cure cycle. Depending on the catalyst and cross-section of the molded component, our average cure time is substantially faster than a compression mold. Therefore, smaller cavitation for injection molds will out-produce a multi-cavity compression mold. With fewer cavities needed to support production, tooling costs and lead times are reduced. Our in-house tool making shop maintains an inventory of pre-cut steel plates to reduce lead-time wherever possible – to facilitate fast design-to-production cycles.

Itran Precision Rubber Appoints New Technical Director
Itran Precision Rubber Corporation, a leading provider of custom molded rubber products for the transporation, fluid management, military and energy industries, is pleased to announce the appointment of John Hogan as Technical Director. Hogan is based at the company's South Plainfield, New Jersey headquarters.
Hogan, who has spent his entire career in the manufacturing and R & D of polymer based compounds, heads the firm's product development and custom design divisions. He is also overseeing the firm's major renovation plans to upgrade facilities to GMP standards.
Since joining Itran, Hogan, has also been helping clients take advantage of Tompkin's extensive portfolio of compounds, molds and processes. "Itran is one of the pre-eminent suppliers of advanced parts and components, particularly in rubber to metal bonding," he said. We've been able to help clients cut production and logistics costs by showing them how to combine multiple parts into single assemblies. The assemblies are more durable, simpler to install and less expensive to store and transport."
Hogan, who holds a chemistry degree from St. Francis College in Brooklyn, has also worked closely with clients to develop new applications. "We're very excited about a new compound, that can replace Hypalon®" says Hogan, who notes that Dupont has announced it is phasing the product out of production.
John has really accelerated our ability to help Itran clients take full advantage of our capabilities. Being based in New Jersey, it's easy to meet with clients and knock out creative solutions to their projects. Itran Precision Rubber is located at 375 Metuchen Road, South Plainfield, NJ They can be reached at 908.754.0458 or on the web at www.itranrubber.com. |
