Liquid Silicone Rubber Molding - LSR
Liquid Silicone Rubber - LSR is the material used in the liquid injection molding ( LIM ) process at Da/Pro Rubber. 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. Da/Pro Rubber molds components using LSR material in the LIM molding process. LSR components range from medical device valves to gas diaphragms.
