Due to its flexibility and capacity to be compressed between two surfaces, it has a wide range of purposes and is frequently employed as seals or gaskets. Other applications include prosthetics, surgical implants, flexible medical devices and tubing, as well as special effects in the film industry. Silicone is a rubber-like elastomer that can withstand high temperatures.
The only adhesives that stick satisfactorily are silicone-based adhesives and cyanoacrylate glue after the silicone has been primed with Permabond POP. Bonding is tough. The monomer in rubber is an isoprene-type carbon molecule with two double bonds between the carbon atoms.
The Global Bonding Silicone Rubber market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The 20th International Trade Fair for Rubber and Plastics, Momentive Performance Materials Inc. will introduce the Silopren LSR 27×9 liquid silicone rubber family. The increased need for hard-soft designs may be met by this novel self-bonding material, which can also shorten assembly processes.
Additionally, it satisfies a number of intricate design criteria and allows silicone and thermoplastics to bind.
Manufacturers of engineering plastics such as co-polyesters, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and polycarbonate (PC) are investigating improved adhesion technology between silicone elastomers and these engineering plastics in order to improve performance characteristics like functionality, durability, protection, and waterproofing.
In order to achieve a hard-soft design and a cost-effective production process of high part quantities in a single integrated moulding process, Momentive’s innovative self-bonding LSR technology offers a primerless solution that helps to mix two materials through a two-shot overmolding process.
With Silopren LSR 27×9 liquid silicone rubber’s quick cycle times and one-step curing, which will increase design freedom and productivity, surface treatment on the substrates is not necessary.
Momentive will introduce liquid silicone rubber that self-bonds. Momentive is still at the forefront of the industry when it comes to creating silicone elastomer solutions that boost manufacturing effectiveness and design complexity. Their most recent product makes market-ready advancements in adhesion technology for moulded parts.
