Phillips Plastics has broadened its manufacturing capabilities to include multi-shot liquid silicone injection molding (MS LSR), a process that combines liquid silicone rubber and traditional thermoplastics in one molded part. This process brings together the advantages of multi-shot thermoplastic molding with the properties of silicone to produce a versatile, soft feel part with biocompatibility, chemical resistance, clarity, and the ability to withstand harsh environments. MS LSR is an easy way to cost-effectively add product features and opens design options that are aesthetically appealing and economical from an engineering perspective. MS LSR saves on assembly costs, by reducing part count and the amount of material needed to make two separate components.
