  • Moldmaker Explores New LSR Molding Technologies

    Can liquid silicone rubber (LSR ) be overmolded onto polypropylene?

  • Fluorinated LSR Handles Fuels and Harsh Chemicals

    A new fully fluorinated liquid silicone rubber from Dow Corning, Midland, Mich., combines the easy processing of LSR and the high temperature and fuel resistance of fluorosilicone rubber (FSR). Silastic 100% F-LSR is a two-part injection moldable elastomer for automotive engine components.

  • Injection Molding LSR: Three 'M's of Innovation: Mega, Micro, and Multi

    Liquid silicone rubber is breaking out of its niche into a broader array of applications, helped by new developments in materials, machinery, and processing. Larger parts, micro-parts, foams, and multi-color or multi-material combinations are key areas of innovation.

  • Five novel silicone surfactants that boast enhanced performance with flexible and molded PUR foams are available from Dow Corning Corp., Midland, Mich.

  • New liquid silicone rubber grades from Dow Corning, Midland, Mich., are said to offer high clarity, superior mechanical properties, and shorter molding cycles.

  • First Foamed LSR Molding Uses Direct Gas Injection

    Updated horizontal and vertical presses and robots were some of the attractions at the annual conference and technical exhibition of Arburg GmbH in Lossburg, Germany.

  • Improved dispersion of mineral fillers in thermoplastics and EPDM rubbers is reportedly achieved with a new silane coupling agent from Dow Corning Corp., Midland, Mich.

  • High-Temperature TPE Is Based on Silicone

     Automotive engineers are becoming converts to thermoplastic elastomers as alternatives to thermoset rubbers, but they’ve found that TPEs can’t go everywhere rubber can—particularly under the hood.

  • Materials Close-Up

    To succeed in Detroit, it’s not enough for polypropylene-based TPO elastomers to be low-cost, lightweight, easily processable, and recyclable. They also have to look good for the life of the vehicle.
