Across dozens of industries and in a countless number of applications, product designers and manufacturers have turned to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) and liquid silicone rubber (LSR) to replace natural rubber.
When considering sustainable content TPEs, recycled content formulations have more limitations based on the comingled nature of recycled raw materials.
For these reasons alone, LSR is often the natural choice for everything from medical instruments to FDA Class III and USP Class VI implant products, including catheters, gastric feeding tubes, heart valves and stents.
