Injection Molding Of Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR Molds)

Liquid Silicone Rubber - LSR is the material used in the liquid injection molding ( LIM ) process. LSR produces medium to high volume rubber parts more efficiently and economically than other rubber molding processes. Using LSR materials have the following molding benefits:

•            LSR molding cycle time is measured in seconds as opposed to minutes by other methods

•            LSR molding materials are premixed in a closed system preventing contamination

•            Using LSR in the LIM process produces less scrap from excess rubber molding material than other methods.

•            The flow properties of liquid silicone rubber make it ideal for molding smaller, tight tolerance parts

•            The flow properties of LSR also make it essential to manufacture a precision tool to prevent secondary   

              operations caused by excess flash in the molding process.

LSR is a cured rubber silicone with low compression set, great stability and the ability to resist extreme temperature variations. Rubber molds components using LSR material in the LIM molding process.
