SUMMARY
Polysiloxane wristbands are primarily manufactured through injection molding, utilizing either single-part siloxane masterbatch granules or two-part liquid silicone rubber. The manufacturing process involves melting the raw materials, which may include fillers and pigments, and then pumping them into molds where they are cured at high temperatures. Embossing or engraving is achieved by incorporating details into the molding dies, allowing the melted material to conform to the desired shapes during the injection process.
