What is Self-Lubricating Liquid Silicone Rubber?
Self-lubricating liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is a specialized material that incorporates lubricating properties directly into the silicone matrix. This innovative design minimizes friction and wear, making it ideal for applications where traditional lubrication may be impractical.
What is the Difference Between Silicone and Non-Silicone Lubricants?
While traditional lubricants may rely on oil or grease, silicone-based lubricants provide a clean, stable solution that remains effective across a wider temperature range. Silicone lubricants are non-toxic, resistant to moisture, and provide superior insulation properties, making them ideal for high-performance applications.
Advantages of Self-Lubricating LSRs molding gasket and seals
1. Reduce Time and Labor: With built-in lubrication, these materials eliminate the need for additional lubrication during assembly or operation, saving valuable time and reducing labor costs.
2. Create More Reliable Performance: The consistent lubrication properties of self-lubricating LSRs enhance reliability, ensuring smooth operation and extended lifespan in demanding applications.
3. Reduce Break-Free Force: The inherent lubrication reduces friction, making it easier for parts to move and engage, which is crucial in applications like seals and gaskets where tight tolerances are required.
Notable Self-Lubricating LSRs for Ring gasket and seals
- **Dow SILASTIC™ 9201-50 LSR**: This 50 Shore A hardness self-lubricating LSR is perfect for addressing challenges in medical device manufacturing, significantly improving device performance.
- **Silopren LSR 4655 SL**: With a durometer of 55, this self-lubricating silicone rubber meets USP Class VI and ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards, making it an excellent choice for medical and healthcare applications.
- **Elkem Silbione™ LSR 4700**: Specifically designed for needle-less valves, this LSR offers high physical properties with a self-bleeding lubricant that acts as a barrier against the slit-healing phenomenon.

FAQ
QA1. What industries benefit from self-lubricating rubber O-ring gaskets and seals?
- Response:Self-lubricating rubber O-ring gaskets and seals are used in a variety of industries, including automotive, medical devices, consumer electronics, and industrial machinery. Their ability to reduce friction and wear makes them ideal for applications requiring reliable sealing and insulation.
QA2. How do self-lubricating LSRs compare to traditional silicone rubbers?
- Response: Self-lubricating LSRs incorporate lubricating properties within the silicone matrix, which minimizes friction during operation. This leads to improved performance, longer lifespan, and reduced maintenance needs compared to traditional silicone rubbers that may require external lubrication.
QA3. What are the temperature limits for self-lubricating LSRs?
- Response: Self-lubricating LSRs typically perform well within a temperature range of -40°C to +200°C (-40°F to +392°F). However, the specific temperature limits can vary depending on the formulation, so it’s important to consult with us for your specific application requirements.
QA4. Can self-lubricating O-rings be used in food-grade applications?
- Response:Yes, many self-lubricating LSRs are FDA-approved for food contact. They are suitable for applications in the food and beverage industry, ensuring safety and compliance with health regulations.
QA5. What is the typical lead time for custom orders of self-lubricating rubber products?
- Response:The lead time for custom orders typically ranges from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and the quantity required. We strive to meet our customers' timelines and can provide updates throughout the production process.
QA6. Are there minimum order quantities for custom self-lubricating rubber O-rings?
- Response: Yes, our minimum order quantity is generally 1,000 units for custom self-lubricating rubber O-rings. However, we can accommodate smaller orders depending on specific requirements and availability.
QA7.What should I provide to get a quote for custom O-ring gaskets and seals?
- Response:To receive an accurate quote, please provide us with detailed specifications, including dimensions, material requirements, quantity, and any specific industry standards that need to be met. If available, 2D or 3D design files can also help expedite the quoting process.
