We have an application requiring us to bulk feed and bulk store silicone parts. These are very thin strips and tend to be sticky. My question is: Is there a strategy used to help bulk feeding and bulk storage of these parts while reducing stickiness?Answered September 17th, 2010 by Expert:Layer stacking parts on rice paper may be the best scenario to reduce sticking and keep the parts from contacting each other. Also, making sure you are postcuring the product after molding can ensure that the product is fully cured and, perhaps, slightly less tacky. A mat finish in the tool may also cause less coining or sticking between parts.
