Elkem Launches Advanced Medical-Grade LSR for Next-Gen Wearables and Diagnostics

At Suzhou Menhow Electronics, we see Elkem's launch of SILBIONE™ LSR Select EC 70 as a breakthrough moment for the future of wearables and flexible electronics. This next-generation medical-grade liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is electrically conductive, biocompatible, and designed for use in high-precision healthcare and diagnostic applications.

With a unique position at the intersection of screen printing and LSR injection molding, Menhow is ideally equipped to explore how conductive LSR can power the next wave of innovation. The new material's low resistivity (below 10 ohm-cm) makes it possible to combine the flexibility of silicone rubber with electrical signals — both areas where we already deliver expertise and manufacturing scale.

Combining Screen Printing and LSR Injection Molding

Our core capabilities in membrane switches, printed sensors, and liquid silicone rubber moulding allow us to create integrated solutions that merge electronics with high-performance silicone. From custom o-rings and rubber seals to 2K moulding and rubber plastic parts, our production processes are designed to meet the demands of both medical and industrial markets.

Accelerating Development with LSR Select™

Elkem's patented LSR Select™ technology enables faster, more efficient molding by controlling cure kinetics directly in the mold. For Menhow, this aligns perfectly with our commitment to lean manufacturing and rapid product development — especially in high-volume applications like medical parts, and smart wearable components.

Looking Ahead

This new LSR innovation represents a clear opportunity for product designers and manufacturers to rethink how conductive silicone can enhance their devices. At Menhow, we are ready to help our partners take full advantage of this material's potential — from prototyping to full production.
