StraiTek, LLC produces high quality custom silicone rubber prototypes in a wide range of flexible shore A materials.
Our process is fast. We can have parts in your hands in days, not weeks. Carefully designed CNC machined molds and the use of RTV silicones allow us to produce high quality parts in quantities of 1 – 100. Cast silicone prototypes available in Shore A durometers 15 – 60. Your 3D CAD data is used to create a CNC machined tool, which is then used to produce the silicone part.
Cast silicone prototypes offer the following characteristics:
- Good thermal properties (most offer heat resistance over 400°F)
- Good moisture and chemical resistance.
- Excellent release characteristics. Pretty much the only thing that sticks to silicone is silicone.
- UV stable. Ultraviolet has little impact on the physical characteristics of the material.
Common applications for silicone parts include gaskets, seals, and valves.
