Silopren™ Silicone Elastomers Improve Processing and Product Performance Reliability

Momentive’s extensive Silopren™ liquid silicone rubber is a portfolio of platinum catalyzed materials designed to cure rapidly by heating in standard injection molding equipment. This versatile family of elastomers can deliver solutions to a wide range of applications across multiple industries ranging from automotive to energy and consumer goods to health care.

The high thermal stability, high tear strength, and broad range of durometers of the Silopren™ liquid silicone rubbers (LSRs) make them excellent candidates to consider for applications such as components used in the biopharmaceutical and medical industries, automotive gaskets, food packing valves, and infant care products. Self-bonding material options are available for applications where adhesion to a range of engineered thermoplastic and metal substrates are desired for two-component molding.

The Silopren™ liquid silicone rubber portfolio also includes self-lubricating, low-compression-set material options that may be useful for automotive connector seals, fluorinated liquid silicone rubbers for applications where enhanced fuel and solvent resistance are of concern, and electrically insulating formulations for high-voltage industry applications.

In addition, the Silopren™ liquid silicone rubber (LSR) family includes a line of high-optical-transparency materials where both the excellent physical stability and processing advantages of silicone rubber are desired, coupled with enhanced optical properties for applications such as LED lenses, light guides and optical coupling.
