Silicones 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.
Colorants added in the mixing phase of the manufacturing process can generate transparent, translucent or opaque colors.
Unlike LSR, they can be easily recycled and reprocessed, virtually eliminating waste from the manufacturing stream.
