LSR Characteristics

LSR Characteristics

1) Liquid Silicone Rubber--Biocompatibility

Under extensive testing, liquid silicone rubber has demonstrated superior compatibility with human tissue and body fluids. In comparison to other elastomers, LSR is resistant to bacteria growth and will not stain or corrode other materials. LSR is also tasteless and odorless and can be formulated to comply with stringent FDA requirements. The material can be sterilized via a variety of methods, including steam autoclaving, ethylene oxide (ETO), gamma, e-beam and numerous other techniques.

2) Liquid Silicone Rubber--Durable

LSR parts can withstand extreme temperatures, which makes them an ideal choice for components under the hood of cars and in close proximity to engines. Parts fabricated via liquid silicone rubber injection molding are fire retardant and will not melt.

3) Liquid Silicone Rubber--Chemical resistance

Liquid silicone rubber resists water, oxidation and some chemical solutions such as acids and alkali.



4) Liquid Silicone Rubber--Temperature resistance

Compared to other elastomers, silicone can withstand a wide range of high/low temperature extremes.

5) Liquid Silicone Rubber--Mechanical properties

LSR has good elongation, high tear and tensile strength, excellent flexibility and a hardness range of 5 to 80 Shore A.

6) Liquid Silicone Rubber--Electrical properties

LSR has excellent insulating properties, which offer an appealing option for a host of electrical applications. Compared to conventional insulating material, silicone can perform in far higher and lower temperatures.

7) Liquid Silicone Rubber--Transparency and pigmentation

LSR possesses a natural transparency, this attribute makes it possible to produce, colorful, custom, molded products
