MRPC has developed unique processes for two-material molding of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) materials onto metal, LSR materials onto plastic, custom rubber materials onto metal, custom rubber and silicone materials onto PEEK, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) onto rigid plastics and TPEs onto metal. Our two-material molding processes ensure product integrity, reliability and safety, while improving the form, fit and function of your final product.
MRPC can chemically or mechanically bond two materials together. Chemical bonds are achieved by applying medical grade primers andor surface treatment processes with rigid substrate components. Chemical bonding ensures the highest product reliability and quality of two-material components. With specialized expertise in two-material bonding, MRPC can also suggest improvements for part design to meet your products functional needs.
Substrate components for combining rigid and elastomeric materials:
Silicone onto metal
Silicone onto plastic (including PEEK)
Silicone onto metal injection molding (MIM)
Rubber onto metal
Rubber onto plastic
Elastomers onto fabric (Kevlar and others)
Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) onto metal
Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) onto rigid plastics
Rigid thermoplastic onto other substrates (such as fabricated metal or circuit board)
