Infinite Possibilities of Silicone material, 

LS Mtron presents a new solution with WIZ-E LSR!

Silicone has been widely used throughout the industry and has been regarded as the important high-tech chemical industry indispensable not only in the basic chemical industry but also in the applied chemical industry. Particularly, Liquid Silicone Rubber(LSR) is a material used across a wide range of industries such as medical, electronic products, household appliances, cosmetics and automobile due to its harmlessness to the human body and its stable physical properties such as heat resistance, insulation, and flame resistance.

With an increasing importance of the silicone industry, we want to introduce WIZ-E LSR series of LS Mtron Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as LS Mtron), which is creating a new boom in the injection molding market this year with the concept of ‘Total Solution and Smart Factory’.

Let"s look at WIZ-E LSR series of LS Mtron which says “We will provide all Total Solution Provider concept related to LSR from accessory equipment to mold, as well as LS Mtron’s accumulated know-how consulting to maximize our clients’ profits”.

1. Overview of Silicone

(1) Definition of silicone

Silicone refers to a polymer in which Organosilicone containing an organic group and oxygen are chemically bonded to each other. Silicon is applied in various forms as a unique chemistry that combines organic and inorganic properties, and it is positioned as a high-performance material that is essential for most industries. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, Silicone"s chemical formula R₂SiO, which was synthesized in a laboratory, was called Silico-Ketone (silicon ketone) because it was similar to R₂CO of ketone and it is now called Silicone for short. However, while ketones are low molecular weight organic compounds, Silicone is a polymer without chemical structural similarity in quanta as described.
