LSR
Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) is silicone rubber made from a liquid compound. This liquid compound
consists mainly of silicone polymer and fumed silica, which are well known for being non-toxic and
temperature resistant. Liquid silicone rubber also has the characteristics of silicone rubber as follows.

There are several kinds of silicone rubber and among them is LSR. LSR enables the customer to
increase productivity. Since it is in a liquid phase, it is ready to use in Liquid Injection Molding
machines. Due to this powerful advantage, large volumes of surge arrestors, very delicate seals,
and silicone adhesives for plastic materials are produced readily and in a large scale.
These advantages are as follows.

· Ready-to-use material
· Very short cycle times above 110 °C mold temperature
· Fully automated injection molding process
· No by-products because of addition-cure system

mixed compound is measured by volume using some mechanical tools in the injection unit. Finally, expansion is completed and demolding shrinkage happens within a minute.

Liquid silicone rubber is heat resistant at high temperatures, such as 200 ºC. In addition,
the cure system includes being cured by platinum catalyst so therefore, it is physiologically inert.
These properties make LSR applicable to baby nipples, swimming bands, medical hoses,
mouthpieces for health care, and food contact products for home appliances.

Since LSR is difficult to adhere to plastic such as TPU and PE, primer is necessary.
First, primer is sprayed or coated on to the surface of TPU. This primer should be cured in an
oven at relatively low temperature since TPU can be affected by high temperature.
On the primer coated TPU, LSR is supplied and cured in the mold.
