When the manufacturing industry pursues the ultimate "cost reduction and efficiency increase", the processing friendliness of materials becomes the key to productivity upgrading. Self-lubricating liquid silicone rubber IOTA M3053-Y2.5 series, with the combination of "1:1 mixing + rapid curing", has become an efficiency accelerator on the production line. This addition-type elastomer makes mass production of high-performance products easy to control with simplified process design.
The efficiency code lies in precise process design. The two components adopt a 1:1 weight mixing ratio, which can achieve precise proportioning without complex metering equipment, greatly reducing manual operation errors; the viscosities of A/B components are similar (300 vs 280 mPa·s), and a uniform and stable fluid is formed after mixing (viscosity 290 mPa·s), which can be quickly fused whether by manual stirring or mechanical mixing, reducing stirring time. The rapid thermal curing characteristic further shortens the production cycle, significantly improving the conversion efficiency of components from raw materials to molding.
In addition to processing advantages, the performance is also impressive. Excellent mold release property can be called a "demoulding artifact". When the formed component is taken out of the mold, it is not easy to stick or deform, reducing subsequent trimming processes; the hardness of 50HA after curing combined with 500% elongation makes the product have sufficient structural strength and good flexibility, suitable for various working conditions. Long-term self-lubrication endows the finished product with a longer service life, achieving the dual value of "high production efficiency + durable use".
In actual production, its efficiency advantages are fully implemented: the self-lubricating gasket production line increases daily output by 20% due to simplified proportioning process; due to good mold release property, the waste rate of complex-shaped miscellaneous parts is reduced to below 1%; due to rapid curing, the mold turnover speed of silicone tube production is increased by 30%. Although the platinum catalytic system needs to pay attention to anti-poisoning, it can stably perform under standardized operation, ensuring production continuity.
Practical storage design adds more convenience: 200Kg large barrel packaging reduces the frequency of barrel replacement, 12-month shelf life below 23℃ is suitable for bulk stock, and the policy that over-term qualified products can still be used reduces inventory risks. From batching to forming, this silicone rubber injects strong power of "cost reduction and efficiency increase" into the manufacturing industry with efficient process design.
