LIQUID SILICONE RUBBER (LSR)
is a silicone-based product that is supplied as a liquid that is cured with heat to form a permanent
shape.
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.
Liquid colorants will produce transparent,
translucent and tinted color.
