Silicone Rubber (LSR) products are pumpable thermoset
silicone elastomers that can be processed by molding
equipment. They are ideal for intricate designs and
close-tolerance parts. High Consistency Rubber (HCR)
products are millable thermoset silicone elastomers that
can be extruded continuously to form a desired size and
shape before curing, e.g. silicone tubing.
