Silicone is a versatile material with countless applications, but its curing process often presents manufacturers with significant obstacles. From incomplete curing to surface defects, these challenges can impact product quality, production efficiency, and overall profitability. This is where Incure Silicone can make a substantial difference. Understanding Silicone Curing Challenges Silicone curing is a critical process that transforms liquid or rubbery silicone into a solid, elastomeric state. Challenges commonly arise in the form of: Incomplete curing: Resulting in soft, sticky, or tacky products. Uneven curing: Leading to inconsistent properties across the product. Surface defects: Such as blisters, cracks, or pinholes. These issues can be caused by factors like insufficient curing time, improper temperature control, inadequate mixing, air bubbles, and contamination.
