Thermoplastic: such as polycarbonate (PC), polyetherimide (PEI), nylon and PPSU
Glass
Metal: such as aluminum and common steels
Silicone: also known as 2-shot silicone molding
Mechanical Bond: the silicone interlocks “grabs” with features on the substrate. The silicone materials are often very deformable so simply filling in a plug hole may not be sufficient to achieve desired bonding.
Chemical Bonding: chemical reaction at the surface between the silicone and substrate, chemical silicone bonding is typically stronger, and it’s more reliable than mechanical bonding.
Adhesive: many situations in which chemical or even mechanical bonding, the adhesive is used for better bonding. FDA grade adhesive is available.
No Adhesive: when no adhesive is a must, self-adhesive silicone is applicable.
Silicone overmolding is a process for molding silicone rubber onto a base material or object which is called substrate to create a composite component. The silicone overmold process involves two steps wherein a completed plastic or metal entity (substrate) is placed into the molding space of an LSR or compression mold, and then the silicone rubber is overmolded directly onto the part.
