Silicone rubber types and applications

Silicone rubber is a rubber whose main chain is composed of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms, with two organic groups usually attached to the silicon atom. Silicone rubber has good low-temperature resistance, and generally still works at -55℃. After the introduction of phenyl, it can reach -73℃. The heat resistance of silicone rubber products is […]

7 aspects when designing LSR liquid silicone injection molds

The structure of thermoset liquid silicone rubber (LSR) injection molds is generally similar to that of molds used for thermoplastic compounds, but there are several significant differences. For example, LSR compounds generally have a low viscosity and therefore very short filling times, even at very low injection pressures. To avoid air trapping, it is essential […]
