Liquid silicone rubbers.

Elastosil LR 3070 self-adhesive liquid silicone rubbers are said to make the production of multicomponent parts extremely simple, reliable and cost-efficient. Elastosil liquid silicone rubber grades are paste-like, readily pigmentable two-part mixtures that fully cure in an extremely short time, according to the company. Even without a primer, they are said to offer excellent adhesion to a wide range of materials, from thermoplastics and thermosets to metals or glass. This is said to make them ideal for producing multicomponent articles. Self-adhesive liquid silicone rubber grades are also characterized by excellent mechanical and electrical properties, according to the company. There are said to be no problems in processing them by injection molding or at high temperatures. Multicomponent parts, such as showerheads or steering wheel keypads, can be molded in a single operation. This is said to reduce unit costs, while also cutting energy consumption.
