Custom Silicone Injection Molding For Shower Head Nozzle Rings 10-250mm
Anti-clogging, easy-to-clean, high-temperature resistant food-grade silicone rings for bathroom accessories and OEM applications.
Process Introduction
The silicone ring for shower heads is manufactured using the Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) injection molding process, featuring flexibility, high temperature resistance, and anti-aging properties. Installed at the shower head outlet, the silicone ring effectively prevents scale buildup and ensures even water flow.
Material Selection
Food-grade silicone, safe, non-toxic, and heat-resistant up to 200°C.
Process Features
The LSR injection molding process allows for excellent flowability and precise micro-pore structure formation.
Process Flow
- Silicone raw material pretreatment and mixing
- LSR injection molding to form the shower head outlet ring
- High-temperature vulcanization for durability
- Surface inspection and softness test
- Assembly test to ensure perfect fit with the shower head
