Overview
Silopren™ LSR 2740 is a general-purpose self-bonding injection molding silicone rubber grade that offers adhesion to various metals and engineered plastics without using a primer and adhesion with the mold. Adequate bond strength is reached after a short post-cure or by longer storage at room temperature. The self-bonding property of two-component Silopren™ LSR 2740 makes it a cost-effective solution for multi-component injection molding or insert molding.
