Tech Insight | Understanding the "Black Tech" in Silicone Molding—Solid-to-Liquid Technology

Hello! We are Hongxiangda Silicone Products Factory located in Jiangmen. Last week, we welcomed an important "new member"—a large-scale solid-to-liquid silicone vulcanization machine. Today, let’s dive into this cutting-edge technology that is revolutionizing the silicone manufacturing industry.

What Is Solid-to-Liquid Technology?
Solid-to-liquid technology, fully known as "Solid Silicone to Liquid Silicone Vulcanization Technology," is a major breakthrough in the silicone products industry in recent years. This technology utilizes special processing techniques to transform traditional solid silicone raw materials into a liquid state during production, perfectly combining the dual advantages of solid and liquid silicone.

Demystifying the Technical Principles
Compared to traditional processes, solid-to-liquid technology achieves three major breakthroughs:

Material State Transformation: Under specific temperature and pressure conditions, solid silicone exhibits liquid-like properties.

Innovative Processing Method: Uses injection molding instead of traditional compression molding, enabling more precise forming control.

Optimized Vulcanization Process: Significantly reduces vulcanization time through precise temperature control systems.

Why Is This Technology So Important?
For Manufacturing Enterprises:

Production efficiency increased by over 30%

Material utilization improved by 25%

Energy consumption reduced by 20%

Labor costs decreased by 15%

For End Users:

Higher product precision, with tolerances controlled within ±0.05mm

Superior surface quality, free of burrs and defects

Better product consistency, significantly reducing batch variations

Enables more complex product structural designs

Hongxiangda’s Technical Practice
The large-scale solid-to-liquid silicone vulcanization machine we introduced features the following:

Equipped with a German precision control system

Integrated intelligent temperature control module

Fully automated production

Maximum clamping force of 300 tons

Daily production capacity of up to 100,000 pieces

Application Prospects
Solid-to-liquid technology is particularly suitable for:

Medical devices: Seals, catheters, implantable devices

Automotive parts: Engine seals, wiring harness protectors

Electronic components: Waterproof seals, insulating parts

Consumer goods: Baby and children’s products, kitchenware accessories

As one of the first silicone product enterprises in the Jiangmen region to adopt this technology, Hongxiangda will continue to deepen technological innovation, providing customers with higher-quality, more precise, and environmentally friendly silicone product solutions.
