Can Silicone Be Overmolded?
Yes, silicone can be overmolded, but the process requires careful design and control. Silicone is often overmolded onto thermoplastic substrates to enhance functionality, durability, or aesthetics. Successful silicone overmolding depends largely on the chemical compatibility between the silicone and the base material. To achieve strong adhesion, surface preparation—such as cleaning, plasma treatment, or the use
