The simplest things in life are often the most important – how often have you found yourself reaching for the fly swatter? ELASTOSIL^® LR 3070/60 A/B and 2K technology are perfectly suited for such a handy and practical tool. This pasty, two-part rubber compound can be readily colored with pigment pastes and easily processed by fully-automated injection molding. It also cures within an impressively short time. A and B components are mixed in a ratio of 1:1 and thus prepared for the actual processing step.

More and more often, silicone rubber compounds are filling the gap in applications that push other materials to their limits. Take, for instance, this elegantly designed yet practical pencil holder made of ELASTOSIL^® LR 3003/40 A/B. This paste-like, two-part rubber compound is perfectly suited for producing sophisticated, translucent silicone elastomer components. The metal and silicone elastomer are bonded while the liquid silicone rubber is curing. Precision processing in a highly automated production environment guarantees consistently high quality for reliable results.
