🔍 Introduction: Not All Silicone Is Created Equal

In the global market for medical devices, baby products, pet accessories, and kitchenware, silicone has become a material of choice. But here’s the catch:

Should you choose Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) or Solid Silicone Rubber (HTV)?

If you don’t understand the difference, you might end up with the wrong performance, poor durability, or compliance issues.

Przy Silikon LYA, we help brands worldwide make informed decisions based on function, safety, and production efficiency.

⚖️ Liquid Silicone vs. Solid Silicone: What’s the Key Difference?

Cecha	Liquid Silicone (LSR)	Solid Silicone (HTV)
Form	Low-viscosity, injectable	Semi-solid, moldable
Curing Method	Platinum-cured injection molding	Compression or transfer molding
Application Precision	Extremely high	Moderate
Touch & Finish	Ultra-smooth, consistent	Slightly textured, more elastic
Tolerance	Tight, ideal for complex geometries	Suited for thicker parts
Use Cases	Medical, baby nipples, seals, wearables	Kitchenware, pet mats, toys, gaskets

🏆 Why Liquid Silicone (LSR) Is the Ideal Choice for High-Cleanliness and High-Precision Applications

Liquid silicone is a platinum-cured, two-part material processed via automated injection molding in ISO Class 7/8 cleanrooms. It delivers exceptional purity, dimensional precision, and consistency, making it the preferred material for:

🔹 Baby Pacifiers & Teethers

Materiał: 100% platinum-cured liquid silicone (LSR)
Why it’s ideal: Safe for oral contact, ultra-soft, odorless, boil-sterilizable
Zgodność: FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, LFGB, EN 14350
LYA Case Study: OEM for premium Japanese & Korean baby brands — injection-molded LSR teething toys withstand 100+ sterilizations without deformation

💪 Why Solid Silicone (HTV) Is Better for High-Durability, Cost-Effective Products

Solid silicone (HTV) is heat-cured via compression or transfer molding. It’s ideal for simple shapes, textured finishes, vibrant colors, and budget-conscious applications.

🔸 Pet Feeding Mats & Zabawki do żucia

Materiał: Thickened, tear-resistant HTV silicone (with optional scent additives)
Why it’s ideal: Durable, chew-proof, easy to mold, accepts gradients
Cost Advantage: More economical than LSR for mass market SKUs
LYA Case Study: Custom molded pet chew toys with embedded logo and multi-color swirls for U.S. eCommerce brand

🌍 Global Market Preferences

Understanding which silicone works better for your customer base is key:

Region	Preference	Common Use
USA / Kanada	LSR for medical & baby	FDA-grade safety, dishwasher safe
Europe / Nordics	HTV for kitchen/pet + LSR for cosmetics	LFGB, REACH, sustainable sourcing
Japan / Korea	LSR for clean design, skin-safe products	Wearables, infant care, personal use
Middle East / ASEAN	HTV for heat-resistant tools	Economical pet & kitchen applications
