Properties

Typical values for the Shore A 40 type

Processing

Important: this silicone is NOT liquid and must be cured under pressure using a heated press.

• Curing: 10 minutes at 175°C at the correct pressure for your process
• Post Curing: 4 hours at 200°C

Applications:

• Medical Devices: Ideal for use in medical tubing, seals, and gaskets due to its biocompatibility and safety. Suitability and certification is to be checked and done by the customer/ producer of the end product.
• Food and Beverage Industry: Perfect for baking molds, seals, and gaskets that come into direct contact with food. Food grade of end product is to be certified by the customer/ producer of such end products!
• Industrial Applications: Suitable for creating durable molds, prototypes, and other high-precision industrial components.
• Consumer Goods: Ideal for creating custom silicone products, including toys, kitchenware, and more.

What is HCR/HTV Silicone Rubber?

HCR silicone (High Consistency Rubber) is a type of silicone rubber with high viscosity and a paste-like, solid consistency. It is processed using traditional rubber manufacturing techniques such as:

• Extrusion
• Compression or transfer molding
• Calendering

HTV silicone (High Temperature Vulcanizing) is a subcategory of HCR silicone that requires high-temperature curing. While HCR refers to the material's consistency, HTV emphasizes the vulcanization process.

Key Features of HCR/HTV Silicone Rubber

• Solid form: Unlike liquid silicones such as LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) or RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanizing).
• Curing: Typically done with peroxides or platinum catalysts.
• Excellent mechanical properties after curing.
• Heat-resistant, chemically inert, and biocompatible.
• Widely used in medical applications, automotive, food processing, and electrical insulation.

Alternative: LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber)

LSR silicone is a liquid material processed via injection molding. It is ideal for complex shapes and high-volume production. Compared to HCR/HTV, LSR is better suited for fine details and precision parts.
