Precision, Efficiency, and Reliability: The Silcotech Story in Rubber Moulding

The Challenge of Precision

Rubber components often need to meet tight tolerances to function correctly. Even a tiny deviation can affect performance, safety, and reliability — especially in medical or industrial applications. Achieving this level of precision requires more than standard moulding techniques; it demands state-of-the-art technology, deep expertise, and continuous process optimisation.


That’s where Silcotech steps in. Using advanced Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) injection moulding technology, we produce highly complex and precise components at scale. LSR allows us to create intricate shapes and fine details while maintaining consistency across every batch. And because we understand that time is money, our process improvements reduce cycle times by 15–30%, helping our customers get their products to market faster.

 

Flexibility Meets Efficiency

Silcotech doesn’t just focus on precision — we also focus on versatility. Our dual extrusion system enables us to work with multiple materials or colors simultaneously. This gives designers more freedom, allows for innovative solutions, and increases production efficiency.


For larger parts or components with moderate curves, our compression moulding process comes into play. This method ensures uniform material distribution and reliable dimensional accuracy, so no matter the size or shape, each component meets stringent quality standards.

 
Tight Tolerances, Superior Results

Through careful control of our moulding processes, we consistently achieve tight tolerances ranging from 0.08 mm to 0.15 mm. This level of precision is crucial for medical devices, where safety and reliability are non-negotiable, or for industrial equipment, where performance depends on exact specifications. Every part we produce is built to perform exactly as intended, giving our customers peace of mind.

 

Sustainability and Efficiency in Every Step

At Silcotech, efficiency isn’t just about speed — it’s about doing more with less. Our optimised processes lead to:

  • 15–30% Faster Cycle Times – reducing lead times and helping products reach the market sooner.

  • 0.08–0.15 mm Tight Tolerances – ensuring precise, reliable parts.

  • 15–30% Less Material Waste – saving raw materials and reducing environmental impact.

  • 10–30% Lower Energy Use – producing components in a more sustainable way.

  • 15–25% Savings in Labour – streamlining operations without compromising quality.

  • 15–20% Cost Savings – creating real value for our customers.

 

These efficiency gains mean that our customers benefit not only from high-quality components but also from lower production costs and faster turnaround times, which is essential in today’s fast-paced global market.

 


People, Technology, and Quality — Working Together

What sets Silcotech apart is not just our technology, but also the people behind it. Our engineers, operators, and quality control teams work together seamlessly, ensuring every part meets exact specifications. From concept to finished component, every stage of production is monitored and optimised for precision and efficiency.


We don’t just make rubber parts — we solve manufacturing challenges, helping customers bring complex designs to life without compromise. Whether it’s a medical device that demands perfect performance, a consumer electronics component that requires durability, or an industrial part that needs precision, Silcotech delivers consistently.
