Our company, Wetop, was established in 2011 as the new brand of Youbang silicone. Our growth was fueled by the desire to manufacture safe and environmentally friendly silicone products, and now our commitment to providing the global market with marketable food-grade silicone products has opened a lot of opportunities to collaborate with prestigious international brands.
We believe that the key to our success, aside from our skillful employees, is the quality production process we practice in our factory. Firstly, we make sure that the raw materials we source are from respected suppliers, such as Dow Corning, Shin-Etsu, and Wacker. Then we are meticulous when it comes to compression molding and liquid silicone molding. Lastly, we also give high priority even to the post-processing stage and performance tests.
Here is a glimpse of how we produce the best quality silicone products for our clients.
Sourcing of Raw Materials
We are proud of our capability to consistently create exemplary molds that will definitely suit your needs. This is due to the years of molded experience and continuous growth and improvement.
State-of-the-Art Equipment
Our production process is fast and efficient, thanks to our powerful modern equipment, such as EDM machines, CNC machines, grinding machines, milling machines, and lathes that produce exact molds.
Feasibility Analysis
Our team of engineers goes through careful examination of your design before we can prove a quote. We identify any errors or concerns before creating a prototype, plus we recommend necessary adjustments to optimize the design.
High-Precision
To guarantee that our silicone products are optimally made, our molds have a minimal tolerance of 0.05mm, still, this can be adjusted to meet your particular needs.
Wetop’s Manufacturing Solution
We perform different molding methods that provide the best and fastest silicone products that you need. They are the following:
Compression Molding
The compression molding method is considered an efficient and effective option for projects with low-volume production. This creates high-quality and detailed silicone products at a minimal tool cost. The production process is also fast-paced, as the molds are made quicker and require less setup for optimal use.
Here are the steps that we perform in manufacturing custom silicone products through the fast and efficient compression molding process.
Mold Making
Our professional team of designers made the mold concept on advanced design software. Through the use of our state-of-the-art equipment, we turn your concept into functional molds.
Mixing
The silicone rubber is mixed with colorants and agents in the mixing machine, making sure the materials are evenly combined. This mixture is then divided into accurate weight and sizes of strips and prepared for compression.
Compressing
The vulcanizer compresses the silicone strips and cures them with a preset temperature and pressure. The components will be formed into the preferred sizes and shapes and then be removed from the mold.
Deflashing
Resin flash around the edges is carefully removed either manually or through the use of an advanced trimmer. then the silicone products will be cleaned for neat appearances.
Post-Processing
Post-processing for the product surface and functions including printing, oil painting, and secondary vulcanization will be done based on your requirements.
Liquid Silicone Molding
The liquid silicone molding method is best suited for the large-scale production of silicone products. It involves liquid silicone is injected into the mold and cured to take form. Since this method is both fast and efficient, it allows us to produce thousands of silicone products with the same mold within a short time.
From designing the molds to post-production, we have a seamless process in creating the best quality silicone products with our liquid silicone molding method.
Mold Making
In the mold-making stage, the base mold is crafted with our precision cutting, milling, and grinding machines. The liquid injection molding (LIM) mold is endured to have better productivity in each round of production.
Injecting
The liquid silicone rubber mixture is prepared and set into the machine for molding. Our team of engineers properly creates the mixture to match your requirements.
Deflashing
Once the LSR has been fully cured, finished silicone products are removed from the mold and inspected for any residual burrs, which are then carefully removed manually and through an advanced trimmer.
Post-Processing
Post-processing for the product surface and functions including printing, oil painting, and secondary vulcanization will be done based on your needs.
Reliable Performance Tests
We are equipped with a capable QA team and sophisticated testing equipment so that we can ensure to our clients the premium quality of your silicone products. Here are the tests we perform:
- Tension Test
- Temperature Test
- Aging Test
Inspection to Every Piece
We have our quality control team who conducts a full-range inspection during packaging to ensure the quality and security of your silicone products. Our assessment covers all stages, from dimensions and product surface to logo and packaging inspection, making sure they match your standards. Lastly, the packaging can be customized to comply with ISTA tests and FBA shipping requirements.
Here are the steps we take before delivery:
- Dust Blowing
- Remove Contamination
- ISTA and FBA Compliant
- 100% Full Inspection
Conclusion
And that ends the steps on how we ensure that we only provide the best quality of silicone products. If you need a reliable manufacturer of silicone products, Wetop is here to fulfill your requirements. Click this link https://wetopsilicone.com/ to reach us.
