We work closely with Sigma Engineering, our strategic partner for process simulation. The primary focus of this collaboration is to optimize material data specifically for silicone elastomers. By refining these material properties, both companies aim to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of simulations conducted through SIGMASOFT® Virtual Molding, a leading tool in injection molding simulation.

LSR injection molding simulation offers substantial benefits to the silicone industry by enabling precise virtual modelling of complex processes. It enhances design optimization by predicting mold filling patterns, minimizing air entrapment and ensuring uniform material distribution. This capability not only reduces costly trial and error in tooling and part design but also improves overall manufacturing efficiency.

In essence, LSR injection molding simulation empowers manufacturers in the silicone industry to achieve higher precision, efficiency, and reliability in their production processes, ultimately driving competitiveness and innovation in the market.

Momentive conducts thorough testing in our well-equipped facilities, swiftly identifying optimal base compounds, formulating custom solutions, and assessing critical performance attributes such as durometer, viscosity, and tear strength. Our manufacturing processes adhere to ISO9001 standards and meet stringent requirements from ASTM, AMS, MIL, UL, USP Class VI, and other regulatory bodies.

We tailor compounds to fit your equipment and minimize handling. Momentive custom elastomers come in various dimensions—like pellets with 0.2g tolerances, logs up to 8" diameter, and shapes such as pig, wigwag, coil strip, or sheet. Our packaging options - from syringes to custom boxes - reduce waste, meeting your performance and packaging needs.
