Why Sink Marks Are Cost‑Drivers
Even a 0.2 mm sink mark can reject a batch of medical seals, costing up to USD 12,000 in re‑work, scrap, and delayed shipments.
- Inconsistent mold temperature – 10 °C variance leads to >30 % higher sink‑mark occurrence (source: MDPI Paper).
- Insufficient cavity pressure during the cure stage – creates voids that manifest as depressions.
- Long cooling cycles – increase cycle time and raise production cost by 15 %.
- Improper material rheology – low viscosity LSR flows too fast, leaving surface tension gaps.
- Design oversights – sharp thickness transitions amplify sink‑mark depth.
According to Grand View Research, the global LSR market will hit USD 4.97 bn by 2030. Yet 15 % of manufacturers still report >5 % defect rates due to sink marks.

Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Typical Value | Impact on Sink Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Material | LSR (Medical‑grade, Shore A 45‑55) | Viscosity 150‑250 cPs at 150 °C reduces flow‑induced voids |
| Mold Temp. | 180 ± 2 °C (core), 150 ± 2 °C (cavity) | Uniform heat prevents premature skin formation |
| Injection Pressure | 12‑15 MPa (peak) | Ensures complete cavity filling, minimizes surface depressions |
| Cooling Time | 6‑8 s (high‑speed) | Optimized via AI to avoid over‑cooling shrinkage |
| Cycle Time | 15‑18 s total | Higher throughput without quality loss |
| Surface Roughness (Ra) | ≤0.8 µm | Meets automotive interior & medical seal standards |
Application Scenarios & Case Studies
Automotive Seals – 2023 Project: 120 k units of LSR door‑seal gaskets produced with 0.03 mm maximum sink‑mark depth, saving USD 45,000 in re‑work.
Medical Wearables – 2024 Pilot: Over‑molded silicone bands for continuous glucose monitors achieved ISO 10993 biocompatibility and no visible sink marks after 10,000‑cycle durability test.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Yingtai prevent sink marks in LSR parts?
We combine zone‑controlled heating, real‑time cavity pressure monitoring, and AI‑optimized cooling curves. The process reduces temperature gradients that cause surface depressions, as proven in a 2024 DRL study.
Can you customize molds for low‑volume production?
Yes. Our modular insert system allows tool changes within 48 hours, making short‑run projects (< 5 k units) cost‑effective.
What are the typical lead times for high‑volume orders?
Standard high‑volume production (≥100 k units) ships within 4‑6 weeks after tool acceptance, thanks to our 55‑machine LSR line.
Do you support OEM/ODM design services?
Our in‑house R&D team provides full OEM/ODM support, from concept CAD to final tooling, with a confidentiality agreement for proprietary designs.
What logistics options are available for international shipments?
We offer FOB, CIF, DDP, and air‑freight express. Our logistics team optimizes container loading to reduce shipping costs by up to 15 %.
Is after‑sales support included?
Yes. A dedicated account engineer provides 24 / 7 technical support, on‑site training, and a 12‑month warranty covering sink‑mark related defects.
