ELASTOSIL eco LR 5003 grade

The non-postcure liquid silicone rubber is particularly suitable for large-scale manufacture of products in the food industry and other sensitive areas.

As far as their volatiles content is concerned, molded parts made from such silicones comply with the limits stipulated by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) even without postcuring.

They also meet the requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for food contact products. As a result, production of mouthpieces for air up bottles as well as drinking straws, baking tins, dough scrapers and other items is made very efficient.

ELASTOSIL eco LR 5003 may be additionally postcured in order to achieve even greater strengths.

ELASTOSIL eco silicone rubber grades are produced from plant-based methanol derived from non-fossil sources. The production is certified in accordance with the REDcert2 standard, thereby ensuring the traceability of renewable raw materials along the entire production process.
