ALBANY, N.Y.— Momentive Performance
Materials introduces the LSR7000 series, a family of highly transparent
liquid silicone rubbers (LSR). Combining typically 98 percent
transparency with the unique processing and productivity advantages of
an addition-cured,platinum-catalyzed LSR, the LSR7000 series is an
excellent candidate to consider for outstanding optical characteristics
and increased design flexibility. These features potentially enable
customers to reduce manufacturing and assembly cycle times for complex
parts.
The LSR 7000 family includes
products ranging in 60 to 80 Shore A hardness. Recent innovation in
optical systems, light-guide applications and mobile phones have
increasingly seen liquid silicone rubbers replace materials such as
transparent polycarbonate and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) in new
applications, due to the unique processing and productivity advantages
of LSR.
Momentive will be showcasing the LSR7000 series at the Fakuma 2008 trade fair, fakuma-messe.de,
Friedrichshafen, Germany, October 14-18, 2008 (booth B2 2107), along
with other innovations in silicone elastomers, RTVs and hardcoats.
