Custom Silicone Rubber Parts

Category: Custom Rubber Parts

Hongjie molds custom silicone (VMQ/FVMQ) components for OEM assemblies in medical, appliance, electrical and industrial equipment. Established in Shenzhen in 2001 and certified to IATF 16949:2016 and ISO13485:2016, we take projects from a drawing straight to production at our own 11,000 m² facility — no trading intermediary in between.

Silicone Molding Capabilities

Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) injection molding suits tight-tolerance, high-cavity parts. Compression molding is better suited to thicker wall sections or projects where an LSR mold is not justified.

Process selection depends on wall thickness, cavity count and part geometry. See injection vs. compression molding for rubber parts for the main trade-offs.

Hongjie's roughly 150-person team supports both processes, with in-house tooling review to check manufacturability before sampling.

Silicone Materials & Grades

Standard VMQ silicone covers most cushioning, insulation and general sealing requirements. FVMQ (fluorosilicone) is used when fuel or oil exposure exceeds the resistance of standard silicone.

Hardness ranges from 20–90 Shore A. FDA- and NSF-compliant compounds are available for food-contact, appliance and medical-adjacent applications, with colors matched to the customer specification.

For regulated medical assemblies, production follows the ISO 13485:2016 quality system. This covers manufacturing controls and material compliance; device-level clearance remains the OEM’s responsibility.

Process & CapacityDetail
Service Temperature−50°C to +200°C for standard VMQ grades; wider range with FVMQ
Cure SystemPlatinum (addition) cure, supporting both LSR and HCR
Press TonnageSized to part geometry and cavity count per project
CavitationSingle- to multi-cavity tooling built to order
Annual CapacityContributes to Hongjie's 50M+ parts delivered annually across all compounds

Precision & Tolerance Control

Silicone tools are qualified against a tolerance band tied to feature size, not a single blanket figure:

Dimension RangeStandard TolerancePrecision Tolerance
0–10 mm±0.10 mm±0.02 mm
10–25 mm±0.15 mm±0.05 mm
25–50 mm±0.20 mm±0.08 mm
50–100 mm±0.25 mm±0.10 mm

Production runs are monitored under statistical process control with a target Cpk above 1.33, and SPC records are available per production lot on request.

From Drawing to Production

Send a 2D drawing, 3D model or physical sample for engineering review. Complex geometries can also be assessed through 3D CAD and FEA.

Functional prototypes are typically ready in 3–5 business days before tooling and production approval. Silicone rubber options are available alongside NBR, FKM and EPDM when compound selection is still under review.

FAQ

Common Questions

What are the downsides of silicone rubber?
Tear strength and abrasion resistance run lower than NBR or polyurethane, so silicone parts subject to repeated flexing, scraping or sharp-edge contact wear faster. Material cost per part is also typically higher than general-purpose NBR. Where those trade-offs matter more than heat resistance or FDA compliance, see NBR vs FKM vs EPDM O-Rings: How to Choose.
What's the lead time to get custom silicone parts made?
Functional prototypes are typically ready in 3–5 business days once a drawing or sample is reviewed. Tooling lead time and order quantities are quoted per part after that review, since they depend on cavity count and part geometry rather than a fixed schedule.
