What is HCR/HTV Silicone Rubber?
HCR silicone (High Consistency Rubber) is a type of silicone rubber with high viscosity and a paste-like, solid consistency. It is processed using traditional rubber manufacturing techniques such as:
- Extrusion
- Compression or transfer molding
- Calendering
HTV silicone (High Temperature Vulcanizing) is a subcategory of HCR silicone that requires high-temperature curing. While HCR refers to the material's consistency, HTV emphasizes the vulcanization process.
Key Features of HCR/HTV Silicone Rubber
- Solid form: Unlike liquid silicones such as LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) or RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanizing).
- Curing: Typically done with peroxides or platinum catalysts.
- Excellent mechanical properties after curing.
- Heat-resistant, chemically inert, and biocompatible.
- Widely used in medical applications, automotive, food processing, and electrical insulation.
Alternative: LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber)
LSR silicone is a liquid material processed via injection molding. It is ideal for complex shapes and high-volume production. Compared to HCR/HTV, LSR is better suited for fine details and precision parts.
