Silicone Mouldings

Silicon sealing elements - manufacture using injection moulding as well as compression moulding

LSR – a very special elastomer

The excellent properties of the material liquid silicone rubber (LSR), combined with the tool and processing technology and the expertise in mixing of the BIW experts offer the ideal basis for the solution of customised 3-D elastomer requirements.

As compared to peroxide vulcanisation as customary for solid rubber moulding (HTV), addition curing of the liquid silicon rubber (LSR) offers the advantage that no undesired decomposition products will result. LSR moulded parts contain neither toxic nor aggressive substances.

  • Resistant to high temperatures up to +180°C (stabilised up to +280°C)
  • Flexible in extremely cold temperatures down to –50°C
  • Constant mechanic and electric properties over a wide temperature range
  • Resistant to weather, ageing and UV radiation
  • Essentially resistant to chemicals, in particular in contact with aqueous solutions, weak acids, bases and salts
  • Excellent physiological compatibility
  • Gas permeability is many times higher compared to other elastomers
  • Very good electrical isolation
  • High transparency
  • Adjustable in colour
  • Optimal environmental compatibility

BIW configures scenarios of technical and economic solutions for special tasks, develops 2-component parts based on integrated tool systems and realises order-oriented series production, either in a semi-automatic insertion process or in highly efficient automatic mode. The individual customer requirements always are the benchmark in the scope of a thermoplastic-silicon 2K project.
