In June 2015 Greiner Assistec added yet another component to its St Gallen site in Styria which was already a force with its wide range of producti on technologies The technology in question called Liquid Injection Molding LIM is used to manufac ture elastomer molded parts made of LSR liquid silicone rubber The special properties of liquid si licone make it suitable for a large number of applications from medical technology to the food sector to electrical engineering or mechanical engineering or even in sa nitary engineering as well as sports and leisure This comes as no surprise sin ce LSR is tasteless and odorless biocompatible as well as plasticizer free and also has excellent thermal properties This new technology allows us to respond to the increased demand in the market for silicone components which means we can sa tisfy the needs of our customers even better exp lains Andreas Kaiser Managing Director at Greiner Assistec in St Gallen By enhancing the business sector with LSR Greiner Assistec is positioning itself as a complete supplier in the world of plastics the large number of inquiries from both here and abroad are telling us that we are on the right track Another promising development However LSR is just one more confirmation of how successfully Greiner Assistec has advanced in the past few years It is not the finished product that is the focus but rather the tailored solutions that are developed from the start for each partner Starting as early as the development phase extensive experien ce and technical know how are already being poured into customer care This guarantees high customer satisfaction and also results in longstanding partner ships says Kaiser As a complete system provider Greiner Assistec guarantees its customers top qua lity with unexcelled efficiency Costs are reduced by minimizing interfaces and the number of suppliers Because it is solidly embedded within the strong corporate network of Greiner Packaging and also thanks to its own production and distributions sites which are well connected internationally customers the world over can count on the competence of the Assistec Group being provided promptly and preci sely where it is needed Whether it is a twin sheet procedure for plate ther moforming or the manufacture of injection molding parts using various types of machinery Greiner 4 Greiner Assistec is taking another step toward becoming a complete supplier with the development of liquid injection molding and the use of liquid silicone rubber material A separate Competence Center which will be a perfect complement to the previous plastics solutions will be built at the site in St Gallen Austria Everything from a single source Focus Silicone injection molding From design to product packaging our customers can rely on our finding them the best possible solution Andreas Kaiser Manager Assistec St Gallen What are silicones Silicones belong to the group of organosilicon compounds and are classified in the plastics groups of elastomers Depending on the type of vulcanization and viscosity of the base polymer a distinction is made between different grades of rubber as well as high temperature and low temperature vulcanization Because of its special properties Greiner Assistec is focusing on LSR which belongs to the group of high temp vulcanizing rubbers and exhibits a particularly low viscosity LSR is a pumpable 2 component mixture and is a superb choice for processing in injection molding processes 01 16 unique plasticspaper Focus
