Properties of Silicone Rubber
Flame Retardant
Silicone rubber exhibits high thermal stability.
High Tensile Strength
Depending on the formulation and manufacturing process, silicone rubber exhibits tensile strength from 200 to 1,500 psi.
UV & Radiation Resistance
Silicone rubber will not degrade with repeated or prolonged exposure to UV or other types of radiation.
Excellent Compression
It could retain its shape under high levels of repeated or extended compression and extreme temperatures.
Why choose an LSR (Liquid Silcone Rubber) rather than a HCR (High Consistency Rubber Silicone)?
Liquid Silcone Rubber
- LSR is a polymer composed of short chains, thus viscosity will be low, with a texture similar to honey. It allows rapid processing.
- Hardness between 30 and 70 Shore A, Post Cured and Non Post Cured (with a good physical balance between 40 and 65 Shore A)
- LSR is ideal for the production of sensitive items: silicone items with complex geometry, thin and small parts
- It allows mass production, but requires specific equipment
- No human manipulation of the material is required, avoiding impurities
- Mainly used for injection molding
High Consistency Rubber Silicone
- HCR is a polymer composed of medium chains that does not allow quick processing.
- Hardness is situated between 20 and 90 Shore A, Post Cured and Non Post Cured.
- Used mainly for the design/production of silicone items with an important volumic mass.
- Can be used with all types of production technology: compression and injection molding, extrusion, calendaring for unique parts, and small to medium series.
- Great flexibility of composition.
Silicone Rubber: What is it and What's the Use of it?
Silicone rubber is an elastomer (rubber-like material) composed of silicone—itself a polymer—containing silicon together with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
