Solid Silicone (HCR) Compression Molding

32 solid silicone presses handle high-volume runs of swim caps, straps, fin footpockets, and mask skirts. HCR compression delivers superior tear strength and consistent shore hardness.

  • High-tear, high-elongation compounds for durable aquatic use
  • Multi-cavity tooling for cost-effective mass production
  • Compatible with Pantone-matched color masterbatches
