Founded in October 1996, SiTech has become one of North America’s leading silicone rubber injection molding companies. We specialize in the production of high-quality, first-surface silicone rubber keypads and related products using advanced liquid injection molding (LIM) technology. For over two decades, we have provided innovative silicone molding solutions to industry-leading companies across global markets, including medical, military, industrial, marine, telecommunications, and computing sectors.
Operating from the Hampton Roads Peninsula, SiTech serves both North American and international markets, delivering precise, consistent, and cost-effective silicone prototypes, parts, and over-mold assemblies. With our exclusive focus on liquid silicone rubber (LSR) injection molding, we bring unmatched expertise to this specialized field, ensuring superior results for every project.
Our Advantages
- Custom Injection Molding: Our advanced liquid injection molding machines streamline processes that compression molders cannot match, shortening cycle times, reducing labor costs, and saving our customers money.
- 2 & 3 Shot Insert Molding: We have developed proprietary methods to block light transmission between keys and within individual inserts, allowing a single key to house multiple light sources. Our light-blocking solutions eliminate the need for customer-designed methods, offering seamless integration and functionality.
- Scalable Production Capabilities: Our Liquid Injection Molding (LIM) machines are equipped to handle production runs of any size, from low to high volume. These precision instruments, operated by experienced molders, allow for meticulous control over shot size, temperature, pressure, injection rate, and cycle time. This ensures minimal waste and consistent product quality, regardless of the production scale. Whether you need small prototype batches or large-scale production, our LIM technology, enhanced by a platinum curing catalyst, enables us to optimize cycle times and reduce costs efficiently across all volumes.
- Closed-Loop Systems: Our closed-loop LSR molding process ensures that raw materials remain sealed and uncontaminated until the final product is complete, providing our customers with confidence in the quality and purity of their parts.
- Opaque & Translucent Pigments: SiTech employs advanced equipment to test surface finishes, translucency, and colors for opaque, translucent, and transparent materials. Our skilled technicians precisely formulate and control silicone-based pigments and inks, creating a permanent bond with the silicone product. This ensures consistent, high-quality colors that meet our customers’ specific requirements, while also speeding up lead times.
Comprehensive Services
At SiTech, we are committed to providing our customers with a full range of services to support their product development needs. Our rapid prototyping capabilities help transition prototypes or overseas-made products to production in the USA, with prototypes available in as little as 2-3 weeks. We also offer services such as die cutting, laser cutting, silicone adhesives, primer, proprietary coatings, and the integration of printed circuit boards, metal domes, or membrane circuits into custom silicone keypads.
