Properties of liquid silicone (lsr) - Import export

Liquid-silicone – the material processed by starlim//sterner on over 200 injection molding machines is a multi-facetted material. Good properties and steady improvements allow for a big range of applications for liquid silicone. It has become an indispensible material for many components used in daily life. A summary of the most salient features: Shore A hardness ranging from 5 to 85 Seven standard colors are available, liquid silicone may be dyed at any color. starlim//sterner has defined seven standard colors from the whole range. Temperature resistance: long-term (entire life-span of product) within the range from -50°C to 180°C and short interval 300°C (depending on the material: several hours). Remains flexible at low temperatures. Liquid silicone remains elastic despite big differences in temperature High level of extensibility (up to 1000%) High tear resistance and high value of compression set Good ozone and UV resistance which translates into good weathering properties and

The differentiating properties of Liquid Silicon Rubber (LSR) make LSR more widely and easily applicable than conventional silicones with high consistency and thermoplastic elastomers. Since its introduction in the 70’s, Liquid Silicon Rubber has grown into a material with a great variation of types and properties. In addition to the original use in niche applications, Enbi Plastics now uses the material in a wide range of industrial applications. Extensive developments in the making of new compounds, injection systems in combination with mold construction, and automating and guarding both production process and product quality, make LSR an appealing option for medical and food industries, household appliances, automotive, industrial and agricultural sectors. In this article, Enbi Plastics introduces to you the many possible uses of LSR per sector. Would you like to know more about the possibilities of LSR for your organization?
