Have you ever wondered how many products are created with silicone? You would be surprised at the figures. Curated liquid silicone rubber has been used in the manufacturing industry for well over 30 years now, but just in the last 20 years' developers and technicians have found new ways to use it. Today we will explore some of these new developments and much they helped in advancing society.

Liquid silicone rubber molding stands as one of the most profitable industries, with a global market nearing $5.000 billion worldwide. The first and most profitable source of income for manufacturers is, of course, the medical industry. Many medical devices have shifted from standard metals to rubber silicones, including many surgical tools and certain body implants. Since silicone rubber is perfectly biocompatible with human genetics, there are almost zero risks of rejections.

The Markets Leave their Mark

You would think that the USA would be the leading economy taking the lead with this innovation. Still, the fact is that almost 40% of all products created using liquid silicone rubber molding techniques come from mainland China and other countries in the Asia continent. They currently hold the market's most significant shares with nearly 40% of all the products created in their workshops and factories. They now generate at least 26.000 tons of new products a year. If you are wondering where does all this plastic goes, keep reading.

The moment manufacturers managed to include LSR in the mold-bonding procedure; the die was cast in more than one sense. After that, innovations kept pouring one after the other. Intricate designs gained a lot in terms of practicality and maneuverability when it came to manufacturing using automated methods. A great deal of the smart devices you use today includes this manufacturing technology to decrease production costs and put technology right on your hands at affordable prices.

Some of the Markets where liquid Silicone rubber molding has left its mark are the following:

Most of the noise-canceling earbuds you can buy on the market are made using this manufacturing technique. The level of precision required to place high-powered audio systems in such small devices can only be achieved with specialized machinery and high-end silicone resins.

Coated textiles are all the rage these days. Many clothing brands have found a way to make silicone rubber a fashion statement with a high semblance of practicality. Take, for example, the brand Columbia with their fishing shirts.

From diving masks to scuba equipment, you can find many sports equipment entirely made of rubber silicone that is ready to use, such as dumbbells, yoga mats, and training armbands.

Bottles, pacifiers, toys. The market for baby products created is endless, mostly because they are always high in demand, and silicone has proven sterile enough to avoid germs and bacteria that could harm the infants.

As such, we are still leaving out of the list more significant industries such as the automotive and transportation industry and the home appliances industry. But we are pretty sure you have a broad idea by now about how much good can be done by using liquid silicone rubber molding techniques.
