Custom Silicone Grips and Handles
A grip or handle that ships as silicone - or silicone over a plastic/metal core - is a molded *part*. A chunky 50A-70A sleeve often uses HCR compression; a thin overmold may use LSR with a nest and a pull-off test. An RTV cavity you pour into is a different object.
Send the drawing or sample, intended use, material requirements and expected quantity. RUUIPON will review the manufacturing route, tooling scope and inspection needs before confirming the quotation.
Common mix-up
A resin-cast handle from an RTV split is a mold job. A production silicone grip on a tool shaft is a parts/overmold job. Don't quote both as "custom silicone handles."
Typical shop values
| Object | Who quotes | Typical nouns |
|---|---|---|
| RTV split to cast a handle in resin | RUUIPON | resin master to RTV casting mold |
| Silicone grip / overmolded handle | HTV product RFQ here, or ask us | nest, primer, pull-off, HCR or LSR |
Reference values only. Confirm material-specific limits against the supplier’s technical data and agree project acceptance criteria before production.
Quoted as a molded silicone article
This page quotes a molded silicone article, not an RTV casting cavity. We would not recommend assuming the silicone will stick to PA or PC without a lock and a test. We would not recommend a RUUIPON OEM grip catalog.
Path: RTV mold vs finished part
- What ships? - silicone grip or overmolded handle -> HTV product or mold RFQ
- Stay on RUUIPON: /contact/ -> MOQ 20 / $50 CAD when in scope / 3-7 days after CAD lock
- HTV product or mold RFQ -> MOQ, tooling cost and lead time are confirmed for the selected process, design and production quantity. RTV casting-mold terms do not apply automatically to finished silicone products.
Where to send the RFQ
Parts: insert drawing, Shore target, pull-off spec - send an HTV product RFQ here.
Molds: contact.
Send the drawing or sample, intended use, material requirements and expected quantity. RUUIPON will review the manufacturing route, tooling scope and inspection needs before confirming the quotation.
FAQ
Do you make branded silicone tool grips? As parts: an HTV product or mold RFQ here, or ask us if you need a high-volume LSR cold-runner tool. As an RTV cavity you pour resin into: RUUIPON. Name which.
One-piece glove around my existing handle? If you will *cast* a copy, yes - RTV here. If the handle is the product, overmold as an HTV product RFQ here, or ask us for a high-volume LSR tool.
Mold numbers? MOQ 20, $50 modeling when in scope, 3-7 days after CAD lock.
Two-color grip? That's an HTV product RFQ (or ask us for high-volume LSR) - two-shot or two-color compression question, not an RTV pour.
