Akron, OH: Shincor Silicones, Inc., a U.S. subsidiary of Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., has recently introduced a new grade of Liquid Injection Molding System (LIMS) products with optimized physical and processing properties.
The KEG2000 Series provides customers with enhanced handling and molding properties to meet today’s requirements for flashless, fully-automatic molding.
“In order to compete globally, our customers must continually improve their productivity by reducing waste and using labor efficiently. KEG2000 LIMS from Shincor are designed to augment the latest advances in molding equipment and tooling technology.”
—Eric Bishop, Marketing Manager, Shincor Silicones
Offering “Dynamic Viscosity”, KEG2000 products exhibit higher viscosity under low shear stress (pumping and shut-off) and lower viscosity under high shear stress (injection). Customers benefit from faster mold filling and minimal flash. The KEG2000 Series is engineered for outstanding performance in cold-runner systems with both open and closed-nozzle configurations.
KEG2000 LIMS have consistent physical properties from batch to batch. They are visibly clear and range in Shore A hardness from 40 - 75. Tensile and tear strength have been maximized for physically demanding applications. Additionally, the products are FDA and USP Class VI compliant.
