Yes. Be aware that not all medical grade silicones are suitable for overmolding. Special grades and processing conditions are typically required to get a hermetic seal between the silicone and the plastic substrate, and some material combinations are more compatible than others. Please contact Solvay for a list of companies experienced in overmolding our polymers.
