Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) has several unique properties that make it both exciting and challenging to work with. Designing a “Cold-Deck” Mold for an LSR material is particularly tricky, given the temperature differences between the cold deck and the hot tool side. In this study, critical locations in the mold are analyzed for insulation and water management, with special focus on valve pin temperature fluctuations during the molding cycle. Actual movement of the valve pin is incorporated in simulations to study temperature variations, minimize process challenges and help improve part quality.
