AKRON (Jan. 28, 2008) — Shin-Etsu Chemical Co. Ltd. has developed a rapid-cure silicone rubber that it claims cures five times faster than the company's conventional high-consistency rubber grade products.
Shin-Etsu said the rapid-cure products can increase the number of molded parts produced per hour with its shorter molding cycle; can improve dimensional tolerances of parts, resulting in a reduction in the number of defective parts; require no front-end processing; and comply with U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines.
