Food Grade Vertical LSR Injection Molding Machine for Silicone Baking Mat
Silicone baking mats are produced from food-grade, platinum-cured liquid silicone rubber. The finished mat must withstand repeated use at temperatures between -40°C and +230°C, remain dimensionally stable after multiple dishwasher cycles, and exhibit no surface transfer of cyclic siloxanes or other volatile compounds when in contact with fatty food simulants.

What Is Silicone Rubber?
Silicone rubber is a high-performance synthetic elastomer composed of silicone and other molecules (e.g., carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen). It is characterized by high viscosity and elasticity, as well as superior abrasion resistance, chemical stability, insulating properties, temperature resistance, and weatherability compared to organic rubber.
Key Properties
- Operating temperature range: -100°C to 350°C (depending on exposure duration)
- Weatherability: Resistant to wind, rain, UV radiation, and ozone
- Moisture resistance: 1% water absorption in various water temperatures
- Steam resistance: Indefinite resistance to unpressurized steam
- Chemical resistance: Resistant to oils, solvents, polar organic compounds, and diluted acids/alkalis
- Electrical insulation: 1TΩ*m-100TΩ*m across wide temperature and frequency ranges
Types of Silicone Rubber
Silicone rubber varies by viscosity and processing method:
- Solid Silicone Rubber (HTV): Long polymer chains processed by conventional methods
- Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR): Short polymer chains requiring specialized injection molding
- Room Temperature Vulcanized (RTV) Rubber: Used for sealing, encapsulation, and potting applications
Applications of Silicone Rubber
Silicone rubber is used across multiple industries including:
- Aerospace (space suit components)
- Automotive (gaskets and seals)
- Medical (instrument components)
- Food processing (molds)
- Electronics (adhesives and encapsulants)
Liquid Silicone Rubber vs. Solid Silicone Rubber
Key differences between LSR and solid silicone rubber:
- LSR: High fluidity, transparent, food/skin safe, requires specialized equipment
- Solid Silicone: Lower cost, processes with conventional equipment
