Dow has published a new landing page about its high-performance materials for sports equipment and recreation products. These advanced materials include liquid silicone rubber (LSR) for water sports and LED illumination. Liquid injection molding supports the use of LSRs in various colors and durometers with benefits that include reduced handling and increased throughput.
Dow has launched a new series of selective adhesion LSR products for the mobility and transportation industry. SILASTIC™ SA 994X LSRs are primer-less, self-adhesive, and available in standard and self-lubricating versions with a one-to-one mix ratio for two-component injection molding with thermoplastic substrates. These new LSR materials were specifically developed to target adhesion to polybutylene terephthalates (PBT) and polyamides (PA).
