DESIGNED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Have you considered Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR)?
(Applications by Industry for LSR)
Michael Wilson
DESIGNED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Why LSR?
A better material…
Biocompatibility: Bacteria-resistant, non-staining, non-corrosive, tasteless, odorless and compatible to sterilization…
Durability: Temperature-resilient (–60°C to +180°C), fire-retardant
Chemicals: Water, oxidation, acid, and alkaline-resistant
Mechanical: Good elongation, high tear and tensile strength, excellent flexibility and a hardness range of 5 to 80 Shore A.
Electrical: Superior insulation in far higher and lower temperatures than other insulators
Aesthetic: Transparency and pigmentation for colorful, custom, molded products
