What is Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR)

Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) is a two-component system, where long polysiloxane chains are reinforced with specially treated silica.

 

Injection-molded liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is a new type of silicone rubber material that is non-toxic, odorless, self-bonding and self-lubricating, has excellent weather resistance and chemical inertness, and is one of the high-grade silicone products that have been developing rapidly in recent years. This kind of silicone rubber's own viscosity is low (before vulcanization has certain liquidity, indeterminate), can use metering mixing equipment to feed, using special liquid injection molding process and molding machine to mix the two components, injection molding, and then fast vulcanization, form molding products.

Properties and Advantages

1. Fast curing speed, usually divided into heat cure and room temperature cure, the fastest curing process is completed within a few minutes.

2. Good fluidity can be easily covered in molds or gaps, and the covering efficiency is very high.

3. Corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, acid and alkali resistance.

4. Liquid silicone rubber has superior electrical properties. The insulation capacity is very strong, and the electrical insulation performance is not affected at high temperatures, which is better than most organic rubbers.

5. Excellent mechanical properties and can be adjusted. According to the degree of vulcanization, adjusting the adjustable parameters in the formula can achieve different mechanical strengths to meet the request of different application scenarios.

6. At the same time, Liquid Silicone Rubber has excellent transparency, which is suitable for scenes that require transparency.

7. Excellent tear strength, flexible and adjustable.

9. Strong yellowing resistance, aging resistance and weather resistance, and has a higher service shelf life in extreme environments.

 

LSR APPLICATIONS

Whether rain sensors or plug connectors in the automotive sector, optical pulse measurement, or baby pacifiers, medical devices - liquid injection molding parts made of liquid silicone or liquid silicone rubbers (LSR) have a broad range of applications. These LSR materials have been around for a full 30 years.

Liquid injection molding silicone rubber and traditional materials have many advantages: short molding cycle, high degree of automatic molding, low vulcanization temperature, no by-products in the vulcanization process, high precision products, no trimming, long product life, etc. It has become a popular synthetic rubber material and a substitute for high-grade applications.

 

The special material properties of liquid silicone are only cured by cross-linking. Interestingly, LSR is always applied where conventional and thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) reach their limits. LSR also has very good resilience properties, high heat resistance (partially over 180 °C), low-temperature flexibility (down to about -50 °C), high electrical insulation properties, tensile and re-break strength, and is also physiologically harmless.

 

These material properties, single coloring, and the ability to combine with various metals and plastics have made liquid silicones popular for a wide range of applications. This is coupled with the increasing number of material types. For example, in addition to the various Shore hardness standard types, there are types for medical technology, oil resistance, thermal permeation of oil, electrical conductivity, flame retardancy, rapid cross-linking or adhesion modification types, and types made from fluorinated silicones.

 

The advantages of silicone rubber are gradually being discovered, replacing many other materials in medical, baby care, smart wear, automotive, aerospace, and other fields.
