PROCESS OVERVIEW
What Is Silicone
Compression Molding?
Silicone compression molding uses heat and pressure to shape pre-measured silicone material inside a precision-machined mold.
The process is well suited to flexible components with demanding sealing, temperature-resistance and electrical-insulation requirements. HordRT supports customers from part review and mold development through molding, inspection and repeat production.
Sealing Components
Gaskets, O-rings, diaphragms and custom seals.
Functional Silicone Parts
Keypads, boots, covers and flexible technical parts.
HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
Material, Heat
and Controlled Pressure
A controlled amount of silicone material is prepared and positioned inside the mold cavity.
The mold closes under pressure while heat cures the silicone into the required geometry.
Parts are removed, trimmed and inspected according to the drawing and project requirements.
Suitable for prototypes, bridge quantities and repeat production.

MATERIAL OPTIONS
Silicone Materials Selected for Part Performance.
Material selection is based on how the component needs to seal, flex, withstand temperature and perform in its operating environment.
Matched to your part geometry, function and operating conditions.
AVAILABLE MATERIAL DIRECTIONS
Choose the Compound Around the Application
We review the part requirements before recommending a suitable silicone material and molding approach.General-Purpose Silicone
A versatile choice for seals, covers and flexible components used in general industrial applications.
High-Temperature Silicone
Selected for components exposed to elevated temperatures or repeated thermal cycles.
Application-Specific Grades
Food-contact, medical or other regulated requirements can be reviewed for qualified projects.
Material grade, compliance documentation and testing requirements should be confirmed during project review.
HOW IT WORKS
From Part Requirements to Finished Silicone Components.
A controlled workflow connects part review, tooling, material preparation, molding and inspection before production parts are delivered.
PROJECT REVIEW
Drawing & Requirement Review
We review geometry, sealing requirements, operating conditions, quantities and applicable documentation.MATERIAL PLANNING
Compound Selection
Silicone material is selected according to hardness, flexibility, temperature and application requirements.TOOL DEVELOPMENT
Compression Mold Manufacturing
The mold is designed and machined around the part geometry, material behavior and planned production process.PROCESS PREPARATION
Material Measuring & Placement
A controlled amount of silicone material is prepared and positioned inside the mold cavity.MOLDING & CURING
Heat and Controlled Pressure
The mold closes under controlled pressure while heat cures the silicone into the required shape.FINISHING & QUALITY
Trimming and Inspection
Molded parts are removed, trimmed and inspected according to the drawing and agreed project requirements.DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Design the Part for Reliable Molding.
Silicone behaves differently from rigid plastics during molding, release and assembly. Reviewing these factors early can simplify tooling and improve production consistency.
DFM Review Before Tooling
Send us your 3D model and drawing so we can review the geometry, material, parting line and production requirements.
Wall Thickness & Transitions
Balanced wall sections and gradual transitions help the silicone fill, compress and cure more consistently.
Parting Line & Flash Control
Parting-line location should consider appearance, sealing surfaces, trimming access and functional contact areas.
Undercuts & Part Release
Silicone flexibility can allow some undercuts, but geometry must still support reliable release without part damage.
Sealing & Compression Features
Sealing beads, lips and contact surfaces should be designed around the intended compression and assembly conditions.
QUALITY CONTROL
Quality Checked Throughout Silicone Production.
Flexible silicone components require more than a final visual check. Material preparation, molding conditions, dimensions and finishing all contribute to part performance.
Inspection requirements are defined according to the drawing, application and agreed quality plan. This helps maintain consistency from initial samples through repeat production.
Dimensional Inspection
Key dimensions are checked according to the drawing and approved inspection requirements.
Visual & Surface Review
Parts are checked for flash, contamination, incomplete filling and visible surface defects.
Material & Hardness Checks
Material information and applicable hardness requirements can be verified against the project specification.
Inspection Documentation
Inspection records and material documentation can be provided according to agreed project requirements.
Inspection planning is matched to the component and its functional requirements.
APPLICATIONS & INDUSTRIES
Silicone Components for Demanding Applications.
Compression-molded silicone parts are used where sealing, flexibility, protection and resistance to operating conditions matter.
Automotive Components
Flexible seals, protective covers and vibration-resistant components for vehicle systems and assemblies.
Medical & Healthcare
Silicone components for healthcare products where cleanliness, flexibility and material documentation may be required.
Electronics & Controls
Insulating, sealing and tactile silicone components for electronic equipment and control interfaces.
Industrial Equipment
Durable flexible components for machinery, automation systems and production equipment.
