From Plastic to Silicone: Why Baby Products Increasingly Choose LSR Injection Molding

Potential Issues with Plastic Baby Products

For a long time, plastic has been widely used in manufacturing baby products like bottles, sippy cups, utensils, etc. But with rising health awareness, some potential problems are beginning to surface:

  • Additives may pose safety risks;
  • Sharp edges when broken that can cut skin;
  • Short lifespan requiring frequent repurchasing.

This creates an urgent need to find better, safer materials for baby products.

The Unique Benefits of LSR Injection Molding

LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) is an innovative polymeric material used to create LSR injection molded products via an injection molding process. LSR offers exceptional advantages:

  • Highly biocompatible, completely non-toxic;
  • Very soft with a comfortable tactile feel;
  • Customizable in different colors and hardness for abundant options.

LSR Injection Molded Baby Products Are More Thoughtful

Thanks to these strengths, LSR injection molding technology is being widely leveraged in baby products to deliver more thoughtful experiences:

For example, a baby bottle from Brand A uses soft LSR on the inside for non-leaking water storage, and harder LSR on the outside for easy gripping without deformation. A soothing LSR pacifier from Brand B has a soft nipple for comfort and moderately hard handle for easy grasping.

These smart LSR injection molded designs closely conform to babies’ usage needs.

LSR Injection Molding Redefines Baby Product Standards

Compared to plastic, LSR injection molded baby products have clear advantages:

  • Safe and non-toxic for worry-free use by parents;
  • Soft and comfy on delicate baby skin;
  • Stylish and customizable with abundant options;
  • Durable to accompany growth.

They redefine standards for baby goods to enable healthy, joyful growth for infants.
