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. Once a thermoset material is cured with heat it forms a permanent shape that cannot be reheated and reformed. It is always sound practice to test your material choices for chemical resistance under actual service conditions to ensure performance.

Plastics inherently resist corrosion, eliminating concerns about rust and other forms of oxidation that can compromise metal components. In addition, long fibers form a “3D network” within a molded part; this network supports parts even when a polymer begins to soften (creep), meaning LFTs are an excellent replacement for metal components in portions of the vehicle subject to high stress from extreme temperatures or pressure.

The inclusion of long fiber reinforcement helps composites resist cracking and impedes crack propagation by forming a robust internal fiber skeleton. Because of the higher fiber aspect ratio in long fiber composites, the fibers tend to intertwine to form an internal structural skeleton within injection molded components. Complex Geometry – Switching from methods of metal forming to injection molding long fiber composites allows production of components with more complex geometries.
