Silicone
Solid/gum stock silicone/High Consistency Rubber (HCR)
-
Prior to curing the material is a malleable block that is compression moulded into the desired shape.
Low thermal conductivity.
Low chemical reactivity.
Low toxicity and high water resistance make it a great material for kitchenware.FDA compliant
-
Softness is measured in Shore Hardness, the higher the number, the harder it is.
Comes in any colour.
Excellent resistance to heat or cold. -
Compression moulded
-
Liquid silicone/Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR)
-
Similar properties to solid silicone, liquid silicone is injection moulded rather than compression moulded.
More suited to medical applications than HCR. -
Similar to solid silicone but has higher transparency and can feel softer to the touch.
