The Liquid Silicone Rubber is one of the most popular materials. It is the platinum-cured elastomer. The LSR is injected into the mold cavity to manufacture various parts. The liquid silicone rubber is varied in the elastomer industry. The liquid silicone rubber parts are used for various applications in different industries such as medical, aerospace, industrial markets, automotive, electronics, infant care, and much more.

The liquid silicone rubber works best for both the long and short -run part production. The parts of the liquid silicone rubber have great characteristics such as biocompatibility, durable, mechanical properties, chemical resistance, temperature resistance and others. The process is perfectly suitable for evaluation of the various material configurations before the project of green lighting for the full production. Here we provide the types and benefits of the LSR.

Types of liquid silicone rubber

The liquid silicone rubber is available in different types such as conductive, medical grades, self-lubricating, self-bonding, and others. The parts of the liquid silicone rubber are made up of high quality material that provides long durability. The medical grades are used for the medical applications that have sensitive needs to eliminate interacting with the tissues.

The conductive-grade has good mechanical properties than the metal particle filled silicones. The self-bonding provides the primerless adhesion to different substrates. It works well on the stainless steel, poly sulfones, glass filled nylons, aluminum, and others. You can purchase the liquid silicone rubber component based on your needs.

Advantages of liquid silicone rubber

There are huge ranges of benefits of using the liquid silicone rubber such as stability, great resistance, LSR capabilities, automation, and others. The liquid silicone rubber has high resistance to the weather, water, and ozone. This material provides the excellent resistance properties. It has stability with the low compression and also has the ability to resist the extreme temperatures.

It is a consistent molding material that has the capability to produce the high-precision parts and the parts are made up of the Rubber Manufacturers Association quality standards. The colored silicones are used to design the perfect look on the finished product. The LIM closed-system process reduces the material contamination and provides the maximum efficiency.
