How to make the silicone teether?

1. Design 3D structure of the silicone teether according to your idea

2. Make the silicone teether tooling according to the silicone teether design requirements (Signal color or multi-color) use the different metal, such as steel, copper or AL to ensure the accuracy and durability of the tooling.

Check the (Prototype and Mold Development Service) to know more about silicone tooling making process.

Jution Silicone & Rubber (Dongguan) Co., LTD ’s in-house tool shop consists of 21 latest state-of-the-art 3-axis CNC machines and 5 EDM machines. Our proprietary CNC milling and machining processes enable quick turnaround and beat your deadlines with our quick-turn CNC machining.

3. Prepare the silicone raw material: Raw materials are the key to silicone maternal and infant products. Usually, infant products meet certain environmental protection standards, so silicone materials are no exception. Normally, environmentally friendly Fumed silicone rubber is selected for customized processing, while many manufacturers use Precipitated silicone rubber for processing.

Although the product is not greatly affected, it is still different Fumed silicone rubber from in quality after a long time. Mix the silicone color according to your silicone teether needed. Cutting the mixed silicone material in the correct weight.

4. Feeding the prepared silicone raw material no matter Liquid siilcone rubber or solid siilcone rubber in to the mold.

5. Curing the silicone teether: The silicone material is feeding into the mold after mixing, and the silicone material is filled into the entire space of the mold through heating and pressure. The temperature, pressure and time control of the molding process directly affect the size, shape and quality of the product.

No matter the silicone teether was made by: Compression molding or co-injection molding or LSR molding.

6. Demold: After the curing is completed, take the silicone teether product out of the mold.

7. QC the silicone teether: Quality inspection: Visually inspect the molded silicone teether to see if there is lack of material, uncooked Ness, or impurities

8. Post-processing: Carry out the silicone teether and then do the post processing and treatment, such as trimming, grinding, polishing, spraying, inspection, etc.

9. Secondary vulcanization: Secondary vulcanization is a process that must be handled for any product that has passed the inspection. The main reason why infant silicone products have a certain smell is that they have not been subjected to Secondary vulcanization baking, and the catalyst of the raw materials of the products has not been emitted.

At present, many silicone children’s product manufacturers basically handle it, but the time and temperature of the Secondary vulcanization treatment are different. Bake in oven 2-4 hours to meet FDA or LFGB Standard. LSR silicone teether may do not need this process.

10. LOGO or Pattern printing if needed: screen printing or laser engraving. Most of time, we put the silicone teether logo on the silicone tooling directly. Check the products branding service to know more.

11. Final Quality control and testing: After all the silicone teether making process finished, we will arrange the final QC for the teether before the delivery.
