The special material properties of liquid silicone only solidify by crosslinking. Interestingly, LSR is always used where conventional and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) have reached their limits. LSR also has very good resilience, high heat resistance (sometimes over 180 °C), low-temperature flexibility (down to approx. -50 °C), high electrical insulation properties, tensile and re-breaking strength and is physiologically harmless. These material properties, the monochromatic coloring and the ability to combine with various metals and plastics make liquid silicone popular for a wide range of applications. Add to that the increasing number of material types.For example: In addition to the standard types in various Shore hardnesses, there are also types for medical technology, oil-resistant, oil-thermolysis, electrically conductive, flame-retardant, fast-crosslinking or adhesion-modified types as well as types made of fluorinated silicone.
From the product classification, application characteristics and precautions of silicone, silicone rubber raw materials and liquid silicone raw materials, there will be their own differences. After continuous development and research, silicone is increasingly widely used in various fields of modern industry, such as: medical, infant care, smart wear, automobile, aerospace and other fields. The application technology and main application uses of silicone raw materials and liquid silicone rubber raw materials are well known, and we can discover, research and explore more.
