Elkem today unveiled SILBIONE LSR Select EC 70, a next-generation medical-grade liquid silicone rubber. Designed for wearable and diagnostic devices, the material combines high electrical conductivity, certified biocompatibility, and enhanced process control.
With resistivity below 10 ohm-centimeters, this new material offers ideal conductivity for wearable devices, flexible electronics and advanced sensors. Its liquid injection moldable form enables intricate designs, while its durability and flexibility ensure long-term performance. The material also offers proven biocompatibility, having successfully passed ISO 10993-5 cytotoxicity and ISO 10993-10 skin sensitization tests.
Now commercially available, it's been specifically engineered to be used with LSR Select, Elkem's patented liquid silicone rubber technology designed for precision liquid injection molding. This system enables manufacturers to fine-tune cure kinetics directly in the mold.
