The forming environment temperature of solid silicone rubber products is within 170°C, while the forming environment temperature of LSR products only needs 130°C, or even 100°C to complete curing.
- Safe and non-toxic: Many are used in silicone rubber medical products, maternity and baby products, and food products. These are fields that require high biocompatibility of materials. The most well-known example of products is breast augmentation prostheses.
- Fully transparent: The light transmittance of liquid silicone is better. Product applications include baby pacifiers, diving goggles, silicone tubes, etc.
- High toughness and tear resistance: The general solid silicone rubber is very sensitive and will be torn if it cannot withstand much tensile force. Even the solid silicone rubber produced by the gas phase method cannot be compared with the LSR liquid silicone products.
Such as various liquid silicone medical balloons, liquid silicone cable bandages, etc. are the representative products of this advantage.
- The high degree of automation and long service life of abrasive tools: Because liquid silicone uses a standardized injection machine, its abrasive tools are in the same line as injection molds, so liquid silicone products must have high automation technology in the production process. , instead of requiring manual placement like solid molds, so manual operations are reduced, so the service life of the abrasive tool is of course greatly increased, and the production efficiency is correspondingly higher.
- Shorter curing time: The molecular formula of liquid silicone products is different from that of solid silicone rubber products, and its curing time is only one-third of that of solid silicone rubber products at suitable ambient temperature, so the production cycle is greatly shortened and productivity is further improved.
- Lower forming environment temperature: the forming environment temperature of solid silicone rubber products is within 170℃, while the forming environment temperature of LSR liquid silicone products is only 130℃, even lower or even 100℃ can be cooked in a basic time; now Although solid silicone rubber can achieve a molding temperature of 120°C due to the use of platinum as a catalyst, it is limited by its own molding process and puts forward higher requirements for actual manufacturing operations, so it cannot be widely used. ; At this stage, most of the silicone overmolded products and silicone-plastic composite products must be produced with liquid silicone because the plastic cannot withstand continuous high temperatures.
- Stronger fluidity: Liquid silicone rubber has good fluidity due to its liquid state. It can fill the die without a strong injection pressure, so it is suitable for all kinds of thick-walled, narrow-groove, and long pipes. product is formed.\
- Thinner parting line: The forming sequence of the liquid silicone mold is to clamp the mold and then inject the glue, so there is only a small amount of extravasation of silicone rubber on the clamping surface, or even no, which further improves the appearance of the product. For high-quality products, it is logical to use liquid silicone rubber.
