Seal Reliability under High and Low Temperature Cycling: How to do Compression Setting (CS) Tests
In rubber sealing systems, compression set (CS) is commonly used to evaluate a material’s ability to retain its shape after prolonged compression […]
Appearance Upgrade of Consumer Electronics Silicone Parts: Combined Solution of Spraying, Hand Oil and Laser Engraving
The "texture" of consumer electronics silicone parts is usually determined by the surface process. This article focuses on spraying, hand oiling and laser engraving processes, analyzing their appearance, application scenarios and mass production control.
Silicone thermal conductive gasket selection: thermal conductivity, thickness compression ratio and insulation requirements to match the
The selection of thermally conductive silicone gaskets is not a matter of higher thermal conductivity. What is really critical is the balance of heat dissipation path, assembly tolerance, compression ratio and long-term reliability. 1. First
Expanded Applications for Fire-Retardant Silicone Materials: Key Differences between UL94 and Scorch Wire Testing
Flame retardant silicone is widely used in new energy and electrical equipment, but "flame retardant" is not the same as "safe". This article analyzes the differences between UL94 and Scorch Wire testing, and gives an itemized list of the most common flame-retardant silicones used in electrical equipment.
Silicone Extrusion Seal Common Problems: Size Fluctuation, Shrinkage and Mold Opening Design
Extruded seals may seem simple, but the most common problems in mass production are "dimensional fluctuations" and "uncontrollable shrinkage". In this paper, from the design of die opening, process window to the inspection control, to give
How to reduce the cost of small batch and multi-species: Silicone parts mold modularity and rapid mold change practice
The difficulties of small batch and multi-species are: high mold amortization, high switching cost, and difficult quality consistency. This paper introduces the idea of mold modularity and rapid mold change to help in the cost,
Environmental Compliance Tips: Impact of RoHS/REACH/PAHs on Silicone Products and Preparation Checklist
Silicone compliance is more than just RoHS, this article summarizes the core differences and enforcement priorities of RoHS, REACH, and PAHs. 1. Common Compliance Requirements
Silicone key feel consistency: synergistic control of stiffness, rebound and key stroke design
The "consistent feel" of silicone keys comes from the synergistic control of structure, material and process. In this paper, from the key range, rebound, hardness and spraying/laser engraving and other post-processes, we provide an overview of the keystrokes.
Seal Life Improvement Program: Material Formulation, Surface Treatment and Assembly Lubrication Selection
Seal life enhancement is not a single material upgrade, but a systematic and synergistic optimization of "material system, surface treatment, assembly process and verification strategy". This paper combines the actual project
Silicone parts incoming inspection guide: appearance, size, hardness and critical properties of the sampling recommendations
The stability of silicone seals often begins with incoming material inspection. The establishment of reasonable IQC sampling standards can effectively reduce leakage, compression deformation, dimensional abnormalities and other quality issues.
