Liquid silicone rubber processors — We want to hear from you

Plastics News is looking to update its global directory of liquid silicone rubber processors.

We began this project five years ago looking to provide insight into the LSR market. Last year we listed seventy five companies in a directory format. Our focus is to shine a light on this viscous but pumpable material and those who work with it.

Looking to expand beyond the directory format, we are asking for volume numbers. It is important to report on the usage of this versatile material, that is why we ask for total volume processed on our survey form. Who are the biggest users? In what area of the world is LSR most utilized. These are the questions we get asked from our readers.

From a data gathering perspective, our questions are all abut the material. Responses about grades, processes, services and end markets served will help us provide a more complete picture on the world of LSR.

Look for an email invitation to update your company's information, the listing is free. For those who wish to be added, click the Submit for future consideration link from our online listing.

For those who prefer, an online survey is available here or you can contact me direct at [email protected].

The directory will appear in the Plastics News April 3 issue, if we get enough data we'll list them according to volume of LSR usage.
