Flashless molding with precision and detail

Approved supplier for the aerospace, medical and pharmaceutical industries

LAXMI is an approved supplier of silicone parts for the aerospace, medical and pharmaceutical industries. We specialize in high volume liquid silicone injection-molded rubber parts, short run-prototype silicone parts, and over-molding of silicone onto plastic. We also process a wide range of compounds such as solid silicone, HCR/HTV/LSR and other elastomer types

We work with medical device, aerospace and pharma engineers, on their new product development. Laxmi offers the advantage of a highly experienced team of silicone engineers with years of tooling, part design and production know-how.

Liquid Silicone Rubber - LSR molding

Liquid Silicone Rubber is a thermoset material and though a versatile, widely used material, it is a difficult material to process due to its low viscosity and its tendency to "flash" in even the smallest of gap. Aiming for the highest quality in LSR components, Laxmi takes a holistic approach to the engineering of component, tooling and overall process. The manufacture of 120 molds has provided Laxmi with the experience and capability to build molds for a variety of LSR components of varied geometry. We understand and apply our knowledge of how to process LSR. The parts we manufacture have applications ranging from drug delivery such as primary drug packaging or wearable smart drug pump systems, fluid management, diagnostics, to biotechnology. We support high production volumes that feature: - “Flash-less” molding

  • Complex part geometry
  • Fast curing cycles
  • Class 8 clean room
  • Available press sizes: 20 - 80 Tons

High Consistency Rubber - HCR molding

Laxmi understands the special considerations required to manufacture quality HCR silicone injection molded parts as it poses unique challenges compared to organic polymer-based rubber compounds. A wide array of colorings is possible. Our capabilities include: -

  • Low to moderate production volumes
  • Compression and transfer molding
  • White room molding

2-Component Parts or Over-molded Parts - 2K molding

We have experience with 2-component parts or overmolding silicone onto plastic parts. Through a highly specialized and automated process we carefully control the injection of multiple materials, including two different kinds of resin, into a single, multi-chambered mold.

  • LSR-to-Plastic
  • Plastic-to-Plastic
  • Multiple color combinations
