  • Design Considerations for Liquid Silicone Rubber
    LSR is a thermoset material with a unique set of design characteristics that differ from thermoplastic injection molding
  • Expansion or Shrinkage of Liquid Silicone Rubber
    The density or its reciprocal, the specific volume, is important for the shrinkage during processing and is greatly affected by temperature and pressure. The specific volume is often plotted as a function of pressure and temperature, in what is known as a pvT diagram (See article for illustrations)
  • The Time-Temperature-Transformation Diagram
    An informative presentation of the curing incorporating the degree of cure is the Time-Temperature-Transformation (TTT) diagram, developed by Enns and Gillham. It can be used to relate the material properties of thermosets, such as Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR), as a function of time and processing
  • PEEK, PEI, LSR, and Other Material Options for Medical Prototyping
    Developing parts for the medical device industry is a high-stakes process, and material choice is an important decision to make at the outset of the project. Five strong contenders include PEEK, PEI (Ultem), and PPSU; polycarbonates; medical-grade liquid silicone rubber (LSR); and 3D-printed
  • A Dummies Guide to the Application of Electronic Grade Silicone Sealant
    The Electronic grade silicone sealant is a type of industrial adhesive that is used in the electrical/electronic industry to seal vulnerable components. A silicone electronic-grade sealant is used as a shield for sensitive and delicate electronic materials. The adhesive usually has a liquid
  • Assembly Injection Molding Technical Bulletin
    With SIMTEC's Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) processing know-how and technology, it is now possible to integrate functions of parts with complex design, challenging geometry, and tight tolerances, into one assembly. Assemblies are injection molded employing the same material or a combination
  • Dow Corning helps a customer solve their customers' problems
    ST Services manufactures meter/mix dispensing equipment that their customers. use for molding silicone rubber medical products. Founded in 1995, they sell. about $1 million worth of equipment a year. Part of their customers' process. involves pumping uncured liquid silicone through pressurized
  • What to Know About Septa
    , the elasticity of the septum ensures that the hole reseals. Rubber septa are most commonly used to seal medicinal vials containing either a liquid or freeze-dried solid (which is then liquefied in water or other substance). The medicine is drawn from the vial using a needle, then injected. Septa may
