🔍 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.
在 LYA 硅胶, we help brands worldwide make informed decisions based on function, safety, and production efficiency.
⚖️ Liquid Silicone vs. Solid Silicone: What’s the Key Difference?
| 特点 | 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
-
材料: 100% platinum-cured liquid silicone (LSR)
-
Why it’s ideal: Safe for oral contact, ultra-soft, odorless, boil-sterilizable
-
Compliance: 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 & Chew Toys
-
材料: 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
