Five Steps To Ensuring Bond Strength In Silicone Overmolding Applications

The process of overmolding, or insert molding, requires silicone to be bonded to a substrate usually made of metal or plastic. Silicone molder engineers will work with the medical device manufacturer to guarantee that the bond strength of the overmolded part will meet the requirements of the application, and to certify the biocompatibility of the finished part. This article covers five steps for ensuring bond strength in silicone overmolding. Download the article for in-depth information on these 5 steps.
