Key Takeaway
A practical comparison of TPE extrusion workflows and two-component liquid silicone molding workflows.
TPE production route
TPE pellets are color mixed, melted in an extruder, held at temperature and transferred into the selected mold. Eligible scrap may be reduced for controlled reuse.
Liquid silicone production route
A/B liquid silicone material is prepared, vacuum degassed, metered and dispensed into a mold, then cured using the selected heating process.
Equipment differences
TPE production centers on extrusion and molten material handling. Liquid silicone production centers on A/B material supply, degassing, controlled dispensing and curing.
Selection basis
Choose based on the intended product feel, approved material formulation, mold design, production method and quality requirements.
