Dow Corning has introduced Silastic LC-45-2004, a 45 shore hardness liquid silicone rubber (LSR) designed to provide high clarity, superior mechanical properties and short cycle time for high-speed manufacturers. It is particularly well suited for applications such as diving goggles and baby bottle nipples, where a durable, clear, unblemished surface material is required.
The LSR features shorter cycle times and improved manufacturing throughput compared to high consistency rubber to help high-volume manufacturers achieve efficiencies over other materials. Applied via an automated injection process, Silastic LC-45-2004 LSR offers smooth release from molds to help customers produce complex parts design with great consistency.
Formulated to meet FDA 21 CFR 1777.2600 and BfR, XV, Silastic LC-45-2004 LSR also features a low compression set, high transparency, and high tear strength.
