The 2025 Ringier Technology Innovation Awards for the plastics industry have been officially announced, with Elkem Silicones being honored for its innovative liquid silicone rubber material, BLUESIL™ LSR 3935. This product has addressed the long-standing technical challenge of waterproof sealing in high-voltage connectors for new energy vehicles (NEVs), providing a new solution for the high-quality development of the industry.

As the NEV industry continues to grow rapidly, safety and reliability standards for NEV high-voltage systems grow increasingly stringent. The performance of connectors, particularly their thermal stability and long-term sealing under complex operating conditions, has become a critical challenge. Drawing on its deep technical expertise, Elkem Silicones developed BLUESIL™ LSR 3935, featuring a self-lubricating surface that significantly reduces assembly wear, an ultra-low compression set for long-term sealing stability, and exceptional heat resistance for reliable performance in extreme temperatures. The product line offers customizable hardness options to meet diverse design requirements, ensuring lasting reliability in NEV high-voltage systems.
