Soft silicone elastomers historically have been used for soft tissue simulation, cushioning, and dampening, but were limited to nonreinforced gel systems that are prone to fracture and require a thin elastomer membrane to enhance integrity, according to the company. Applied Silicone's Type OO and Type OOO soft LSRs reportedly combine a soft feel with mechanical strength and minimal surface tackiness.
Soft LSRs have low to medium viscosities suitable for knife-coating films, injection molding soft parts with complex geometries, or solvent-free dip-casting of thin membranes.
The Applied Silicone product can be customized to suit specific customer requirements.
