Liquid Silicone Rubber is a two-component, platinum-curable, heat-pumpable silicone elastomer that can be molded and cured with very fast cycle times at elevated temperatures. The molding process allows complex part geometry and exact dimensions to be achieved.
With this molding process, the most complex geometries with exact dimensions can be achieved. LSR can enable injection in short cycle times and fully automatic manufacturing without swelling or flanges.
Resists temperatures as low as - 50 ºC and as high as 250 ºC
Customizable hardness from 10 to 80 Shore A durometer
Resistance to environmental conditions such as ozone, water, steam and ultraviolet light without showing significant aging
Biocompatibility with the final product being FDA-Grade
It is odorless and tasteless, does not encourage the growth of bacteria and does not stain or corrode other materials.
Since liquid silicone rubbers are very flexible, they do not suffer permanent deformation even when compressed for a long time.
