Common Material Types
& Trusted Sourcing

We select premium raw silicone from leading global suppliers, ensuring consistent quality, safety compliance, and performance for every project.

HTV / HCR

Solid Silicone Rubber

High-Temperature Vulcanized silicone compounded in sheet form. Ideal for complex geometries, thicker walls, and tactile products requiring exceptional durability.

  • Spatulas, bakeware, mats, trivets, handles
  • Strong mechanical performance & tear resistance
LSR

Liquid Silicone Rubber

Platinum-cured, two-component liquid silicone injected under high precision. Perfect for ultra-fine details, high-volume runs, and medical-grade cleanliness.

  • Baby items, nipples, seals, intricate molds
  • Flash-free, consistent, flawless surface finish

Technical Parameters

Engineered for
Performance & Longevity

Every material grade is defined by measurable performance. Below are the core parameters that determine product behavior across years of daily use.

Softness

Shore A 30-80

Tunable hardness range--from soft gel-like feel to firm structural components, matching tactile and functional needs.

Elasticity

450% Elongation

Industry-leading stretch recovery. +45% toughness retention over long-term use for folding and compression products.

Heat Resistance

-40°C to 230°C

Oven, microwave, dishwasher & freezer safe. Peak short-term exposure up to 260°C without degradation.

Aging Resistance

10+ Years

UV, ozone, and oxidation resistant. Maintains elasticity, color, and structure through accelerated aging tests.

Quality Workflow

Swatches, Confirmation
& Batch Traceability

Every production batch is anchored to an approved reference swatch. We maintain complete lot traceability from raw material intake to final shipment.

ISO 9001 Documented

Full SOP compliance across every stage.

1

Reference Swatch Creation

Physical swatches made from your approved formulation--showcasing exact hardness, color, finish, and texture. Three identical copies: client, lab, production.

2

Client Confirmation & Sign-off

Written approval locked against reference. Any adjustments trigger a new revision cycle with full change documentation.

3

Batch Numbering & Lot Control

Every production run tagged with unique batch IDs linking raw material lot, mold ID, operator, inspection, and shipment date.

4

Ongoing Batch-to-Reference QA

Every production batch compared visually and mechanically to the master swatch--ensuring brand consistency across months and years.

Testing & Compliance

Material Testing
& Documentation Support

Every material is validated against international standards. We provide the certifications and reports your market requires--so your product clears customs and wins consumer trust.
