"Key Properties and Processing Considerations for High Consistency Silicone Rubber in Healthcare Applications"

High consistency silicone rubber (HCR) offers versatility, cost-efficiency, and biocompatibility for medical devices and healthcare applications. Discover the key material properties, curing systems, and processing methods to help you choose the right HCR for your next-generation medical device.

Whether you’re developing low-volume prototypes or scaling to high-volume manufacturing, understanding how to select and process high consistency silicone rubber (HCR) is essential to delivering safe, reliable medical devices.

HCR plays a vital role in healthcare applications – offering biocompatibility, green strength, and high mechanical properties for critical medical devices. With a long history of use in implantable and external devices, HCR enables manufacturers to produce components like tubing, balloons, sheeting, and molded parts with consistent performance.

In this white paper, you will gain insights on:
o The unique properties that make HCR ideal for healthcare applications
o Key processing methods and curing systems
o How peroxide-catalyzed and platinum-catalyzed cure systems compare
