New LSRs boast softness, antimicrobial protection.New developments in liquid silicone rubber 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 include a new low-durometer line and a novel technology that provides build-in antimicrobial antimicrobial /an·ti·mi·cro·bi·al/ (-mi-kro´be-al) 1. killing microorganisms or suppressing their multiplication or growth. 2. an agent with such effects. protection Both were introduced recently at the Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) East show in N.Y.C. * Bluestar Silicones, East Brunswick, N.J. expanded its Silbione LSR 1. (networking) LSR - Label Switching Router. 2. (operating system) LSR - Local Shared Resources. line with soft grades from f to 25 Shore A, The 10 A material, Silbione LSR 4310, reportedly offers higher elongation elongation, in astronomy, the angular distance between two points in the sky as measured from a third point. The elongation of a planet is usually measured as the angular distance from the sun to the planet as measured from the earth. and 50% greater tear strength than other products of similar durometer. Also new is Silbione LSR 4325, a 25 A product for strength-and-return-type applications like balloon catheters balloon catheter n. A catheter with an inflatable balloon at its tip, used especially to expand a partially obstructed blood vessel or bodily passage and to measure blood pressure in a blood vessel. Also called balloon-tip catheter. . The 5 A grade. Silbione LSR 4305, offers tacky gel-like features for cushioning. * Momentive Performance Materials Inc., Wilton, Conn., introduced StatSil LSR with antimicrobial protection provided by a silver-based additive dispersed into the polymer. It is aimed at medical applications such as catheters and wound drains. Injection and extrusion grades are 3 to 80 Shore A.
