The Silopren LSR 7000 Series is an excellent solution to consider for applications that require high optical clarity in combination with long-term durability, if exposed to high temperatures and UV light. The series combines these features with the typical processing and productivity benefits of addition-cured, platinum-catalyzed LSRs and can enable high precision molding of complex geometries.
Optical Clarity
LSR 7000 is a highly transparent material with excellent typical values in transmission, haze and dispersion as compared to those of plastics.
·94% transmission
·<1% haze
·Abbe number of approximately 50
·Strong color stability
Design Freedom
The most innovative ideas can be realized with LSR 7000. Due to its high flowability, the material can help enable increased precision and the ability to design complex and micro-structure parts.
·Enhanced options for part integration
·Reduced weight in design
Durability
High temperature and UV light resistance coupled with resistance to even the smallest cracks makes LSR 7000 a durable material. Its ability to retain good optical properties, even in challenging conditions, allows it to meet the demanding requirements of most innovative applications.
·High temperature resistance even above 150 °C
·UV light resistance
·Micro-crack resistance
Productivity
Reproduction of optical parts is clearly a critical factor in material selection. LSR 7000 can enable reliable mass production processes with minimized waste, high yield and easy manufacturing.
·Excellent processability for injection/compression
moldability
·Material waste may be minimized in the
coldrunner-based LSR injection process
