Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) can be processed in a liquid injection molding (LIM) process. The liquid raw material is mixed from two separate components in a ratio of 1:1 and injected via a cold-runner-system into a hot mold. Curing of the parts in the mold takes place within seconds, therefore offering the advantage of fast cycling and production of large quantities quickly.

Due to the flexibility in design and tooling, LSR injection molding is ideal for the production of complex geometries and can consolidate various functional features into a single part. LIM offers significant advantages in terms of product reliability and total cost of ownership.

Healthcare & Medical Applications

LSR injection molding is an ideal production method for a range of medical products. Applications range from drug delivery such as primary drug packaging or wearable smart drug pump systems, fluid management, diagnostics, to biotechnology.
