<\/span>APPLICATIONS FOR LSR COMPONENTS<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
With such versatile characteristics, it\u2019s no surprise that LSR can be used to create a wide variety of components.<\/p>\n
\n- Flange Seals: <\/strong>Injection molding is used for producing precise liquid silicone rubber gaskets and seals that stand up to harsh environments and can keep unwanted substances out.<\/li>\n
- Gas Flow Regulators: <\/strong>The superior design flexibility and sensitivity make LSR diaphragms an excellent option for creating consistent LSR and LSR two-shot diaphragms, and membranes with delicate features sensitive to the slightest changes.<\/li>\n
- Pressure Sensors: <\/strong>The material\u2019s flexibility and low compression set make it an excellent choice for valves that can handle high pressures and revert to their original shape without losing form.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>PRODUCTS USING LSR PARTS<\/h2>\nMany products make use of LSR parts and components due to their array of useful characteristics. Some appliances that benefit from these parts include:<\/p>\n
<\/span>1. GAS COOKING APPLIANCES<\/h3>\nA gas stovetop, grill, or oven helps fuel cooking needs for an array of homes and businesses and requires components that stand up to the use of cleaning solutions and other common substances. Since LSR is inert and gas-permeable, any natural gas that moves through the LSR won\u2019t react with it. The precision of liquid injection molding also allows for thin part geometries used in valves that provide sensitive responses to changes in pressure and flow.<\/p>\n
Finally, though the components are not typically in direct contact with food items, it helps to minimize the environmental effects they can cause. The parts don\u2019t usually need to be food grade, but the fact that LSR doesn\u2019t give off any taste or odors is a plus.<\/p>\n
<\/span>2. GAS WATER HEATERS<\/h3>\nGas water heaters, also known as geysers, benefit from several characteristics of LSR components, especially their thermal stability and sensitivity.<\/p>\n
LSR gaskets, diaphragms, and valves are used throughout a water heater. The safety and control valves allow gas to flow to the pilot. Because of the exposure to natural gas, electrical currents, and heat, LSR\u2019s gas permeability, thermal properties and inert behavior make it a good fit and a preferred choice. Additionally, water heaters often end up working in extremely cold or hot temperatures at the peaks of the seasons. LSR components will not suffer under these conditions and can maintain their size and shape.<\/p>\n
<\/span>3. GAS FURNACES AND HEATERS<\/h3>\nGas heaters utilize LSR (1- and 2-shot) diaphragms designed with thin, sensitive membranes, and are present in pressure sensing switches and valves. A low-pressure sensing switch used in gas furnaces and heaters are important safety devices used to detect and prevent the heater from running unless the correct venting air pressure is present. Due to the thin, delicate geometry of the LSR diaphragm, it is able to sense the accurate pressure level for safe operation.<\/p>\n
<\/span>4. GAS WASHERS AND DRYERS<\/h3>\nGas washers and dryers make use of LSR parts in several ways. They require components that are thermally stable and inert, as well as ones that offer sealing properties.<\/p>\n
Gas washers and dryers are typically placed on a wall directly opposite the outdoors, so they must vent to the outside. With this proximity to varying temperatures, the summer and winter climates can necessitate parts that stand up to excessive heat or cold. The exceptional sealing properties of LSR can also help it keep liquids out of the inner workings of the machine.<\/p>\n
<\/span>5. GAS GRILLS<\/h3>\n<\/b>LSR components are perfect for gas grills. They offer thermal stability, inertness, and an effective seal.<\/p>\n
Gas grills are unique in that they are often completely outdoors. Extreme temperatures in the summer and winter won\u2019t cause stress to an LSR part, which won\u2019t degrade or lose its shape or rigidity. LSR can withstand the temperatures and help keep the grill functioning as expected. Grills also benefit from the inert characteristics of LSR that allow for gas permeability and its sealing aspects to keep liquids out of the more sensitive components.<\/p>\n
<\/span>BENEFITS OF CHOOSING SILICONE PARTS FOR YOUR LSR COMPONENTS<\/h2>\nUsing LSR components in gas appliances offers many benefits to the product, but choosing the right company to make them is essential. Working with FacFox provides you with an expert hand every step of the way. From material selection and design advice at the start to customized quality assurance systems before the job is done, we work to meet the unique needs of our partners.<\/p>\n
