The
injection molding machine is one of the most significant and rational forming
methods available for processing plastic materials. An injection molding
machine has three basic components. Injection unit, mold, and clamping system.
The injected unit, also called a plasticator, prepares a precise melt of the
plastic and through the injected unit transfers the melt to the next component
which is the mold. The clamping system closes and opens the mold. Injection
molding machines are commonly used for the manufacture of plastic-based
products, but in this study, the basic materials were changed to silicone
rubber and talc composites Silicone rubber is used as matrix and talc as
filler. Due to the different mechanical properties that exist between plastic
and silicone rubber, some parts of the injection molding machine need to be
changed and the parameters that affect this tool must be considered. Parameters
that need to be considered are the dimensions of each part of the tool,
temperature, pressure, and time.
