With growing demand for liquid silicon rubber, especially in the medical, infant and baby care, electronics and industrial industry, Polyplas, a subsidiary of Ge-Shen has invested in Liquid Silicon Rubber (LSR) injection moulding capability and is ready to supply LSR products to its customers.
Why Liquid Silicon Rubber?
LSR injection molding provides consistent part quality and consistency as compared to other other elastomers and thermoplastics. It is able to achieve high precision, and if done well, is burr or flash free, direct from the mould.
Silicon rubber is tasteless and odorless, can be sterilized in a variety of methods and can be formulated to comply with FDA requirements. It is naturally resistant to bacteria growth, making it a perfect choice for medical devices and products.
It is durable, and can withstand extreme temperatures, fire resistant, water resistant and chemical resistant, making it very fit for industrial use. Its elongation, high tear and tensile strength, provides flexibility and durability and can be formulated to have hardness range of 5 to 80 Shore A.
Partners in mould making (or tooling)
While LSR is fairly new to us, we have various partners in the industry who has been producing LSR moulds (or tooling) for many years. The tooling they make can be of two types – open nozzles and shut-off nozzles. The choice of which to choose depends on the quality requirement and specific use. Our mould makers produces moulds which can guarantee burr or flash free finished products.
