 the company. These benefits are said to make the product an excellent choice for insert over-molding applications. The benefits of LIM8040 elastomer are now offered for applications in healthcare. The results of the test program also indicate that LIM8040 elastomer may be eligible for use in other food contact applications, such as infant care and other consumer products. LIM8040 elastomer is designed to be used in a 1:1 mix ratio and cures rapidly at molding temperatures of 150 [degrees] C to 190 [degrees] C to a high tear strength, translucent silicone elastomer. LIM8040 characteristics also include low modulus See modulo. , rapid molding cycle times of 20-60 seconds and outstanding thermal cycling performance, according to the manufacturer. The LIM8040 liquid elastomer was introduced to the automotive industry The automotive industry is the industry involved in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles. In 2006, more than 69 million motor vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles were produced worldwide.  in 1997 to improve the function and reduce manufacturing costs of high performance electrical connectors, according to the company. In the automotive industry, the product is said to have found application success based on both performance and productivity. (GE Silicones)
