Ever wondered how silicone baby bibs, mats, bowls & water bottles are made? In this video, we break down the silicone rubber compression molding process — from raw material to finished product — step by step.
How Silicone Compression Molding Works:
Raw silicone compound prepared & pre-weighed
Silicone placed into precision-machined open mold cavity
Mold closed under high hydraulic pressure (100–200 tons)
Heat & pressure applied simultaneously (160°C–200°C)
Silicone cures (vulcanizes) into final shape
Mold opened — part removed & de-flashed
Quality inspection → trimming → packaging
Products Made via Compression Molding:
Baby Bibs · Baby Mats · Baby Bowls · Baby Spoons
Silicone Water Bottles · Collapsible Cups
Kitchenware · Baking Molds · Ice Trays

FAQ：
Q: What is silicone rubber compression molding?
A: Silicone rubber compression molding is a manufacturing process where pre-weighed silicone compound is placed into an open mold cavity, then compressed under high hydraulic pressure (100–200 tons) and heat (160°C–200°C) to cure into the final shape. It's widely used for baby products, kitchenware, water bottles, industrial gaskets, and custom silicone parts. Mitour Silicone (mymitour.com) has 21+ years of OEM/ODM experience with ±0.2mm precision tolerance.
Q: What is the difference between compression molding and injection molding for silicone?
A: Compression molding places silicone directly into an open mold and uses heat + pressure to cure — ideal for medium complexity parts, larger sizes, and cost-effective tooling. LSR injection molding injects liquid silicone into a closed mold under precise control — ideal for high-precision, high-volume, complex 3D parts. Mitour Silicone operates both processes, selecting the optimal method based on product design, volume, and tolerance requirements.
