rubber molding
・Using synthetic rubber compounding technology, we can develop rubber materials that meet customer needs.
・A wide range of rubber switches can be produced by combining conductive pills, gold contacts, conductive printing, etc.
・We have a wealth of experience in manufacturing rubber switches with click structures, and can respond from the design stage.
compression molding
Compression molding is a historical molding method in which rubber material is placed in a heated mold and poured into the mold under pressure to crosslink the rubber. The initial cost is often low because the mold structure is relatively simple, but as the molding method is based on the premise that a residue called burr will be produced, appropriate post-treatment is required.
We handle everything from design to manufacturing in-house for rubber molds.
We will propose the optimal configuration based on the product design, such as a general two-piece mold or a multiple-piece mold manufactured by inserting metal or resin.
| merit | Demerit |
| Initial cost may be relatively low | Post-processing such as burrs is essential |
| Unlike resin injection molding, there are no passageways for materials such as runners, so materials can be used without waste. | long cycle time |
| Not suitable for products with complex shapes |
rubber insert molding
Insert molding is a molding method in which resin, metal, or other parts that you want to integrate with rubber are inserted during molding to create an integral part. Depending on the material of the parts, appropriate pretreatment may be required to integrate them. We also develop unique technologies that leverage our experience and know-how in manufacturing various insert molded products. In recent years, we have succeeded in integrating silicone rubber and polypropylene resin, both of which are said to be difficult to bond.
Unique technology Silicone encapsulation of electronic components
This is a technology that integrally molds electronic components such as circuit boards and IC tags with silicone rubber.
The silicone material protects the inserted electronic components without degrading their performance. In addition to protecting the entire electronic component, it can also be molded to partially seal it.
Basic configuration
Product example
Original technology covered silicone
This technology achieves a soft feel, integrated structure, high durability, and freedom of design by molding a three-layer structure of reinforced plate + silicone thin film + decorative urethane sheet.
・Designs that cannot be made with paint are possible
・Can also be molded into 3D shapes
・High durability as the decorative surface is on the inside
・Can also follow the pattern of molded products

design example
Unique technology silicone tray for microwave baking
A typical silicone tray can be used for cooking at temperatures of around 100℃ in a microwave oven, but by combining special materials with the silicone rubber developed by our company, we have created a tray that can be heated to temperatures of over 200℃ in a microwave oven. Developed. Even if you don't have a microwave oven, you can use this tray to cook bread and dumplings in the microwave. Since we can control the amount of heat generated by mixing the materials, we can develop trays for a variety of uses.
Unique technology Silicone high slip treatment
By applying this technology to silicone molded products, the surface becomes more slippery, giving it a smooth and slippery feel.
This technology can be expected to prevent sticking to silicone transport jigs and prevent foreign matter from adhering to silicone products themselves.
Unique technology Conductive silicone ink
It has conductive silicone ink that has the same performance as the conductive pill contacts used in silicone rubber switches. Conductive pill contacts can only handle fixed shapes such as cylinders, but by printing our conductive ink, we can handle contacts with complex shapes.
