What is Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR)?
Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) is a type of silicone rubber that is processed using liquid injection molding technology. It is known for its outstanding flexibility, resistance to extreme temperatures, and durability. LSR is a two-part system consisting of a base material and a curing agent, which are mixed and then injected into molds to create parts with precise dimensions and high-quality surface finishes.
Quality Assurance
At Grefit Prototype, quality assurance is integral to our LSR services. We conduct rigorous testing and inspection throughout the molding process to ensure that each component meets the highest standards. Our quality control procedures include dimensional checks, material testing, and visual inspections to confirm that the parts adhere to your specifications and performance requirements.

Applications and Use Cases
Manufacturing components such as seals, diaphragms, and surgical instruments that require biocompatibility and durability.
Producing gaskets, seals, and flexible components that can withstand high temperatures and harsh conditions.
Creating parts for products like kitchenware, wearable devices, and toys that require flexibility, safety, and durability.
Fabricating seals, gaskets, and protective covers for machinery and equipment that need to endure extreme conditions and chemical exposure.
The Advantages of LSR
The LSR molding process involves several key steps to produce high-quality components:
LSR provides superior flexibility and elasticity, making it ideal for applications that require parts to stretch and return to their original shape without deformation. This makes it a popular choice for seals, gaskets, and flexible components.
LSR maintains its properties across a wide temperature range, from -60°C to 250°C (-76°F to 482°F). This makes it suitable for use in harsh environments and applications involving high or low temperatures.
LSR is resistant to a variety of chemicals, oils, and solvents, ensuring long-term performance and reliability in challenging environments.
LSR can be formulated to meet biocompatibility standards, making it suitable for medical and healthcare applications where contact with the human body is required.
The Process of Liquid Silicone Rubber
Our customers from various industry such as electronics, consumer products, agriculture, automotive, robotic, etc.
Material Preparation
The LSR base material and curing agent are carefully mixed in precise ratios to ensure consistent curing and performance. The mixture is degassed to remove any air bubbles before being injected into the mold.
Injection Molding
The prepared LSR material is injected into preheated molds using advanced injection molding machines. The precise control of temperature and pressure during injection ensures that the material flows evenly and fills the mold cavities completely.
Curing
Once injected, the LSR material undergoes a curing process in the mold, where it is subjected to heat to initiate the cross-linking reaction. This curing process transforms the liquid silicone into a solid, elastomeric material with the desired properties.
Cooling and Ejection
After curing, the mold is cooled, and the finished parts are ejected. The components are then inspected for quality and any necessary post-processing is performed.
