Liquid Silicone Rubbers (LSR) –
Two-part pumpable silicone materials that are mixed and rapidly heat-cured to
form elastomeric components. Ideal for intricate designs manufactured in large,
automated quantities, LSR can increase your processing efficiency.
-
Industrial and food contact formulations
-
Excellent processing performance
-
Fast cure rate
-
Reduced cycle times
-
Lower production costs
-
Processed by liquid injection molding
Fluoro Liquid Silicone Rubbers
(F-LSR) – Fully fluorinated two-part pumpable silicone materials.
F-LSR combines the performance of FSR with the processing benefits of an
LSR.
Silicone Rubber Bases
– Standard, high consistency, non-customizable materials offered for sale at
the XIAMETER®
brand website; an economical choice for those who are able to purchase
materials in large, bulk quantities, do not require technical or sales support,
and have no special shipping requirements
Primers – Dilute solutions of silane coupling agents and other active
ingredients. To help you ensure optimal bonding of silicone rubbers, Dow
Corning can test your substrate.
Additives – To enhance processing and performance characteristics, such
as viscosity, heat stability, and flame retardancy.
