process complexity.
How is production lead time arranged?
Lead time at WQ Silicone depends on order type: in-stock items ship

Silicone Material Knowledge
What are the types of silicone rubber and what products suit each?
Silicone rubber is generally divided into solid silicone rubber and
liquid silicone rubber (LSR). Solid silicone suits compression molding for
structural parts, gaskets and buttons. LSR suits injection molding with
better flow and higher precision, and is commonly used for baby feeding,
medical grade and fine-structure products.
What silicone material grades does WQ Silicone offer?
Available grades at WQ Silicone include food grade silicone (VMQ),
industrial grade silicone, high temperature resistant silicone, low
temperature resistant silicone, flame retardant silicone and medical grade
silicone, all compliant with international environmental standards.
What is antibacterial silicone and where is it used?
Antibacterial silicone is silicone compounded with antimicrobial
additives, supported by antibacterial material MSDS and test reports. It
suits elderly care products, products used in public areas, and baby or
personal care items with high hygiene requirements.
How do you solve odor and parting line problems in silicone products?
Odor in silicone products is reduced by using low-odor food grade raw
material and applying post-curing. Parting lines are controlled through
proper mold structure design and precision machining, followed by manual
deflashing. A feel-enhancing oil coating can be applied to reduce dust
attraction and improve hand feel.
How long do silicone products last?
Silicone products made with 100% food grade raw material are non-toxic,
free of heavy metals, and offer better antibacterial performance and
ductility, with a service life of more than 3 years under normal use.
Packaging & Shipping
Can packaging be customized?
Packaging customization at WQ Silicone covers color boxes and inner
cartons. If you have artwork we use it directly; if not, our design team can
create it based on your content. For transport we use high-quality cartons
with protective corners and woven bag waterproofing to reduce deformation
and damage risk.
What shipping methods does WQ Silicone support?
WQ Silicone supports air freight, sea freight, sea express and trucking,
and recommends the most suitable option based on destination, lead time
requirement and cargo value. We work with long-term freight forwarders and
provide shipment tracking updates.
