Silicones are materials of mineral origin, derived from silica. They are completely chemically inert and are widely used in the medical and food sectors.
For medium production runs, EVC Silicones (Hot Vulcanisable Elastomers), which can be processed by compression and injection, are preferred.
For large production runs, LSR Silicones (Liquid Silicone Rubber) are the ideal solution, as they combine all the advantages of EVC silicone with a process tailored to large production runs, thanks to a more reactive chemistry and automated burr-free moulding.

APPLICATIONS

– Connectors
– Sealing

LSR technology is the latest area of expertise to be integrated into Somocap through organic growth, with the aim of offering a genuine alternative for the relocalisation of silicone parts in medium and large production runs, and helping to reduce carbon emissions.
