Liquid Silicone Rubber Molding
LSR Injection Molding Structure
A Liquid Silicone Rubber material is a two-part platinum-cured elastomer that can be injected into a mold cavity to manufacture a part. LSR is very versatile in the elastomer industry and is seen across a whole spectrum of parts from consumer products to medical devices and everything in between.The operating temperature range for LSR can be between -65°C to150°C, which short peaks to 260°C. With post cure, it offers very low compression set and can meet low outgassing down to TML < 1 percent and CVCM < 0.1percent. These polymers are translucent, which means they can be pigmented to match any color requirement. LSR also has quick cycle times and less raw material handling — leading to quicker delivery times and greater throughput.To help manufacturers unleash the full potential of this material, we compiled everything you need to know about liquid silicone rubber.
Our Liquid Injection Molding capabilities include Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) process technologies for both clear and colored silicone parts.
Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) is a proprietary name for a range of two-component Liquid Silicone Rubbers used to produce elastomer parts by injection molding. Because of its high thermal stability, good rubber-like properties and resistance to aging, LSR is the material of choice by many industries including medical, military, electronics, appliance, automotive and textile industries. The material has a wide temperature range (-94 degree F to +400 degree F) with low compression set and resistance to the damaging effects of sunlight and ozone.
