Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) has advantages over High Temperature Vulcanized Silicone Rubber(HTV) because of its superior performance in terms of flexibility, stability and process ability.
LSRs have improved performance characteristics such as electrical resistance, compression set, and tear resistance, making it a popular material for the fabrication of highly engineered components and products. furthermore, LSRs exhibit high thermal stability, low reactivity and excellent weathering resistance.
The liquid form of LSRs allows for easier dispensing and faster, accurate castings. LSRs are also more efficient and offer more design flexibility compared to HTV. LSRs also offer excellent bonding properties, making them suitable for a wide range of applications such as seals, gaskets, diaphragms and medical devices. Additionally, they have superior dielectric and electrical insulation properties, superior flame resistance and are self-extinguishing.
LSRs can also be cross linked to create various elastomeric materials with a wide range of mechanical and chemical properties. they have high dielectric strength, excellent compression set, superior high and low temperature properties, superior energy absorption, anti-vibration and anti-ozone characteristics. they also possess low toxicity, low permeability and good resistance to a variety of chemicals, solvents and fuels.
LSRs offer high performance characteristics for a wide range of industries, including in medical devices and automotive, electrical, and aerospace applications.
