Advantages of LSR molded parts
Limitless design – Enables production of part geometries and technical solutions not possible otherwise
Consistent – Provides the highest consistency in product dimension, precision and overall quality
Pure – Silicone is one of the most extensively tested biomaterials with a long history of safe use
Precise – Flashless, wasteless tool design concepts for parts weighing from 0.002 grams to several hundred grams
Reliable – Using the latest technology in machinery, tooling and automation
Quality – Zero-defect quality level through in-process controls
Fast – Enables highest volume production due to short cycle times, from several thousand to millions
Clean – Utilizing state-of-the-art processing techniques and production in Class 7 and 8 cleanrooms
Cost-effective – Offers lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
LSR Injection Molding
Innovative technology meeting customer needs
Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) can be processed in a liquid injection molding (LIM) process. The liquid raw material is mixed from two separate components in a ratio of 1:1 and injected via a cold-runner-system into a hot mold. Curing takes place within seconds, offering the advantage of fast cycling and production of large quantities.
Due to the flexibility in design and tooling, LSR injection molding is ideal for producing complex geometries and can consolidate various functional features into a single part. It also offers significant advantages in terms of product reliability and total cost of ownership.
