LSR & LIM MOLD CLEANING
Because silicones flash very easily, molds for these high performance thermoset elastomers are manufactured to critical tolerances, often +/.0002 inches. Protecting the critical dimensions on parting lines and sealing surfaces, as well as the mold surface finish, is vital. It is also important to keep the vents open in order to evacuate the air out of the mold prior to injection – this helps to produce high quality molded parts.
With Cold Jet dry ice cleaning, you can clean molds in the machine at processing temperature (typically 250-400 degrees Fahrenheit), without causing mold wear – thus increasing production capacity and improving product quality.
