🔍 What Is a Silicone Parting Line — And Why It Matters

In the world of silicone molding, the “parting line” refers to the visible line or seam formed where two halves of a mold meet. While technically unavoidable in most molding processes, how it’s managed can make all the difference between a low-grade product and a premium-quality silicone component.

For brands in medical, baby, personal care, pet, and kitchenware industries, visible or sharp parting lines can affect:
