LSR flows easily into molds with varied wall thicknesses and can fill very long, thin sections of a mold.
Keep in mind that a limited number of toolmakers specialize in LSR molds—and many are based in Europe.
With that widespread availability also comes a wider selection of mold metals and production techniques.

It supplies molded parts and subassemblies to Audi AG, one of the world’s largest auto manufacturers.
A high melt flow rate for the solution reduces packing and cooling time requirements to improve overall molding cycle times.
Faster processing = lower energy costs: Higher melt flow rates enable shorter injection molding cycles, resulting in reduced energy requirements.

For example, rear seat trim can be molded with lower levels of antistatic material because these parts are less likely to attract a buyer’s attention.
While most antistatic parts do not have good bonding surfaces for paint, masterbatches allow for the inclusion of colorants to achieve molded-in color without the need for paint.
Injection molding, blow molding, extrusion and other processes all affect part performance in varying ways and may require adjustments in additive type and quantity.
