Liquid silicone rubber.


Elastosil LR 3070 self-adhesive liquid silicone rubbers Noun 1. silicone rubber - made from silicone elastomers; retains flexibility resilience and tensile strength over a wide temperature range
synthetic rubber, rubber - any of various synthetic elastic materials whose properties resemble natural rubber
 are said to make the production of multi-component parts extremely simple, reliable and cost-efficient. The products find applications in areas as diverse as the automotive and sanitary sanitary /san·i·tary/ (san´i-tar?e) promoting or pertaining to health.

 industries. Elastosil liquid silicone rubber grades are paste-like, readily pigmentable two-part mixtures that fully cure in an extremely short time. Even without a primer, they are said to offer excellent adhesion to a wide range of materials, from thermoplastics and thermosets thermosets, materials that can not be softened on heating. In thermosetting polymers, the polymer chains are joined (or cross-linked) by intermolecular bonding. Thermosets are usually supplied as partially polymerized or as monomer-polymer mixtures.  to metals or glass. This is said to make them ideal for producing multicomponent articles. Self-adhesive liquid silicone rubber grades are also said to be characterized by excellent mechanical and electrical properties. There are no problems in processing them by injection molding injection molding
n.
A manufacturing process for forming objects, as of plastic or metal, by heating the molding material to a fluid state and injecting it into a mold.
