Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) molding is a precision manufacturing process. It creates high-performance silicone materials. One leading application is silicone leather production. TOPSUN uses advanced silicone coating technology. We produce eco-friendly silicone leather at scale. This guide explains everything about LSR molding. You will learn how the process works. You will see how it connects to silicone leather. Let us begin.
What Is Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) Molding?
LSR stands for liquid silicone rubber. It is a two-part material system. Part A and Part B mix together. They react with a platinum catalyst. This creates flexible, heat-resistant silicone. It is different from solid rubber. It flows like a liquid when injected. This allows complex shapes to form. Molds fill completely with high precision. The process cures fast with no solvents. This makes it clean and safe for production.
This technology is ideal for modern manufacturing. It produces consistent results every time. Each part comes out identical. This matters for strict quality control. TOPSUN applies these silicone principles across our coating lines. This gives our silicone leather materials superior performance and reliability.
The LSR Injection Molding Process Explained
Liquid silicone rubber injection molding follows precise steps. First, two liquid components are prepared. They are stored in separate drums. A pump moves them to a mixing block. A static mixer blends them evenly. The mixture enters a heated mold cavity. Heat triggers the platinum curing reaction. The silicone solidifies in seconds. The mold then opens. The finished part is ejected. This cycle repeats quickly.
This process offers major benefits:
- Fast cycle times for high output
- Minimal material waste or scrap
- No flash or secondary trimming needed
- Excellent repeatability for every batch
- Low energy consumption per part
Manufacturers choose this process for its speed. It also delivers outstanding quality. TOPSUN uses similar curing technology. Our silicone coating lines apply liquid silicone to fabric. The material cures in a heated oven. This creates a strong, permanent bond. The result is premium silicone leather.

Key Properties of LSR Material for Manufacturing
LSR material offers outstanding physical properties. It withstands extreme temperatures. From -40C to 250C. It resists UV rays and ozone. No cracking or fading over time. It is chemically stable. Safe for direct food contact. Safe for medical applications. No harmful substances leach out.
It is also highly durable:
- Flexes millions of times without tearing
- Repels water completely
- Resists stains and chemicals
- Maintains flexibility at low temperatures
- Zero VOC emissions
These properties make this material ideal for many uses. Automotive interiors. Medical devices. Kitchen products. Baby items. Marine upholstery. The list keeps growing. TOPSUN silicone leather shares these same traits. It passes 200K+ Martindale rub tests. It has zero VOC. It is 100% waterproof. This is advanced silicone technology in action.
LSR Molding in Silicone Leather Production
LSR molding principles apply directly to leather production. The process is not the same as cavity molding. But the curing chemistry is identical. A liquid silicone coating is applied to fabric. It cures to form a solid layer. This layer bonds permanently to the base textile. The result is a leather-like material with silicone properties.
TOPSUN uses solvent-free coating technology. No VOCs are released during production. The process is clean and environmentally safe. It matches these curing principles exactly. Our 18 automated lines run 24 hours a day. We produce 6 million meters every year. Each batch is consistent and fully traceable.

This silicone coating approach gives unique benefits. The silicone layer stays flexible. It moves naturally with the fabric. It does not peel or crack over time. The surface feels smooth and grippy. It is also completely waterproof. This combination is rare in the industry.
