In LSR materials testing, we should analyze and verify the key properties of LSR raw materials. There is a wide range of LSR testing methods available to ensure quality and consistency. Why is LSR Testing Important? In LSR testing, both LSR material testing and LSR part testing are important. These testing serve many essential purposes…
Silicone Sterilization
Introduction Silicone sterilization is the critical step in any medical LSR application, especially for skin-contact and implantable applications. Liquid silicone rubber is a preferred material option in medical, health-care, baby-care industries. LSR is common applied for sealing applications in long-term, due to its constant properties in a wide range of temperatures. Liquid silicone rubber has excellent low compression set, it can return to original shape with repeatable compression, this quality make it suitable for pumping and pressure sensing applications. Furthermore,…
LSR vs RTV Silicone Rubber
Introduction There are numerous methods for silicone parts production, liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and room temperature vulcanization (RTV) silicone rubber are two main types of silicone rubber for injection molding. Injection molding is a highly automated manufacturing process for complex silicone parts with medium to high production. However, this process will be more complex due to additional step with specific material grades. Room Temperature Vulcanization (RTV) Silicone Rubber RTV Silicone Rubber Types RTV silicone rubber has a wide range of…
Cold Runner vs Hot Runner Injection Molding
Nowadays, liquid silicone rubber injection molding is the most versatile and dependable manufacturing process. As advance of LSR materials, consistent innovation of molding process, new injection molding machines appeal customer in different industries, we are able to fabricate LSR products with increasingly tighter tolerances and repeatability.

Liquid Silicone Rubber Molding Troubleshooting
Liquid silicone rubber molding troubleshooting is a critical step in manufacturing process, it will affect the final product quality. Although we get great planning in material selection, machine, process and processing parameter, there are still potential issues difficult to avoid. If we cannot control these issues promptly and properly, final damage will occur in the machine, mold and finished product.
Silicone Biocompatibility for Medical Components
Silicone biocompatibility is critical for medical devices, medical-grade components must have biocompatibility to ensure safety applications. In medical LSR molding fabrication, we must comply with the medical equipment regulations and designs. What is Biocompatibility The biocompatibility of medical devices means never cause any adverse responses in the surrounding tissues, such as irritation, swelling, or redness. The latest international standard of ISO 10993-1-2018 and FDA guidelines determine the critical parameters in medical grade parts. These guidelines cover 4 main types of medical devices:…
Liquid Silicone Rubber Fillers
Liquid silicone rubber fillers are normally applied to enhance LSR mechanical properties, in order to improve certain properties for application with requirements. LSR is the most important synthetic elastomer, it is easy to process with excellent properties. There is a significant advantage of LSR materials over conventional elastomer materials, it doesn’t require high complex compounds to achieve optimal properties for final products. Common Silicone Rubber Fillers Although silicone rubber filler is applied originally to decrease conventional rubber cost, its secondary effect is improving…
