DESIGNED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Why LSR?

A better material…

Biocompatibility: Bacteria-resistant, non-staining, non-corrosive, tasteless, odorless and compatible to sterilization…

Durability: Temperature-resilient (–60°C to +180°C), fire-retardant

Chemicals: Water, oxidation, acid, and alkaline-resistant

Mechanical: Good elongation, high tear and tensile strength, excellent flexibility and a hardness range of 5 to 80 Shore A.

Electrical: Superior insulation in far higher and lower temperatures than other insulators

Aesthetic: Transparency and pigmentation for colorful, custom, molded products
