Choosing the right material for a valve is one of the most important engineering decisions you’ll make. Material selection determines durability, chemical compatibility, operating temperature, sealing performance, manufacturability, and lifecycle cost. At Neosilicone we manufacture custom silicone valves, custom silicone cross slit valves, and a wide range of elastomeric and hybrid components — and we […]
Are you evaluating materials and processes for a new one-way valve and wondering whether liquid silicone is worth the extra tooling investment? At Neosilicone, we get that question every day from OEM engineers and product managers. Below I’ll explain — from a manufacturer’s perspective — what an umbrella check valve (aka mushroom valve) is, why […]
In fluid control systems, maintaining proper flow direction and preventing backflow is critical for system efficiency and reliability. Both umbrella check valves and conventional check valves serve this purpose, but they function in distinctly different ways. Understanding the structural and performance differences between these two types of valves can help engineers, product designers, and procurement […]
Nice to meet you — and thanks for the topic. At Neosilicone we get asked the same question all the time: what exactly goes into a well-made silicone night light? As a factory and manufacturer that produces thousands of silicone lighting units yearly, I’ll walk you through the materials, the technical tradeoffs, and the production […]
When global medical device developers face unexpected challenges in their tubing components—whether related to contamination, inconsistent performance, or sterility concerns—they often search for a supplier with the technical expertise, manufacturing capability, and rigorous quality standards to solve the problem quickly and reliably. At Neosilicone, we regularly partner with world-leading OEMs who trust our factory because […]
