Silicone & Rubber Molding in Shenzhen, China

LSR is a two-part liquid silicone that's metered, mixed, and injected into a heated mold, where it cures in seconds to minutes, a process suited to high-consistency parts like seals and soft-touch grips. Standard rubber (compression or transfer molded) starts as a solid compound and typically needs a longer cure cycle. Both end in a flexible, molded part; the material and the press determine which route fits a given design.

A flexible part has to hold its shape, its seal, and its feel across a temperature range and years of flexing, not just come out of the mold looking right. Common failure points are flash at the parting line that ruins a seal's contact surface, shore hardness that drifts from part to part, and bonding that looks fine on day one and delaminates from a rigid substrate months later. Getting the cure profile and mold design right the first time is most of what prevents this.

Yes, that's a common construction for a soft-touch grip or a gasket that needs to stay captive on a housing. It requires material compatibility between the silicone and the substrate and a mold designed for that second shot to bond or mechanically key into the first part, which is the same discipline behind our overmolding and multi-material work.

Seals and gaskets, soft-touch grips and overmolded housings, buttons and keypads, and rubber components that need to flex repeatedly without cracking. If a part needs to compress, seal, or feel soft to the touch, it's usually a silicone or rubber candidate rather than a rigid plastic one.

No. Silicone and rubber molding runs in Shenzhen, China, in our plant and at a trusted partner shop nearby. Our Thailand facility runs injection molding, storage, and assembly.

Fudakin is, in Shenzhen. We run liquid silicone (LSR) and rubber molding in our plant and at a trusted partner shop nearby, for seals and gaskets, soft-touch grips, buttons and keypads, and silicone overmolded onto rigid parts. The partner shop is one Fudakin manages, and we tell you which one when you ask.

In Shenzhen, in our own plant and at a trusted partner shop nearby. Silicone and rubber molding does not run in Thailand.

Yes. Fudakin overmolds silicone onto rigid parts, such as a soft-touch grip zone or a captive gasket. Material compatibility and the way the silicone keys into the rigid part are worked out before the mold is cut.

You do. Tooling is paid 100% up front, and the customer owns the molds.
