Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is quietly reshaping the manufacturing landscape in the medical, electronic, automotive, and consumer sectors due to its unique physical and chemical properties. As a non-toxic, high and low temperature resistant elastic material, LSR's fluidity and molding accuracy make it irreplaceable in the manufacturing of complex structural components.
In the field of healthcare, the biocompatibility of LSR has become crucial. From the flexible casing of implantable medical devices to baby pacifiers and medical catheters, their smooth surface and resistance to bacterial growth ensure safe use. Contact lens molds achieve ultra-thin edge design through precision injection molding using LSR, enhancing wearing comfort; The waterproof sealing ring of wearable health monitoring devices relies on its elastic deformation ability to adapt to the dynamic curve of the human body.
The electronic and electrical industry has also undergone changes due to the involvement of LSR. The smartphone camera module uses LSR as a shock-absorbing bracket, utilizing its low compression permanent deformation characteristics to maintain optical stability; The insulation gasket made of LSR in the battery pack of new energy vehicles can withstand extreme temperatures and buffer mechanical impacts. In the 5G base station, LSR thermal conductive gel is filled between the chip and the radiator to build an efficient heat conduction path with a flexible body.
In the wave of automotive lightweighting, LSR's lightweight and weather resistance shine brightly. The engine compartment seals are subjected to oil erosion and high temperature tests, and the headlight lens coating achieves anti fog and anti UV functions through LSR. What is more noteworthy is that LSR is gradually replacing traditional metal springs and applying them to suspension system damping components, achieving the same damping effect with lower weight.
The pursuit of personalization and experience in the consumer market has given rise to innovative applications of LSR. The LSR gel pad is embedded in the midsole of the sneaker to achieve the balance of energy feedback and cushioning through molecular structure design; The handle of kitchen utensils adopts food grade LSR, which balances high temperature resistance and anti slip touch; Even in the field of beauty, LSR is used to create soft and skin friendly powder puffs and makeup tools, redefining the way products interact with users.
With the advancement of materials science, the environmental attributes of LSR are becoming increasingly prominent. Its production process consumes less energy than traditional rubber, and the waste can be recycled through crushing and remelting. In the future, the breakthrough of flexible electronics and biological integration technology will enable LSR to open up Xintiandi in artificial organs, wearable energy devices and other fields, and continue to promote the extension of industrial boundaries with "flexibility" force.
