Momentive’s Heat Cured Rubber (HCR) silicone elastomers are engineered for consistent processing and long-term performance across a wide range of applications. Available in peroxide and platinum-cure systems, these materials support common manufacturing methods such as extrusion and molding while offering flexibility through both base materials and compounded solutions.
Heat Cured Rubber (HCR) is a high consistency silicone rubber that cures under heat using either peroxide or platinum catalysts. It is commonly used for extrusion, calendaring, and molding processes.
Yes. HCR is often referred to as HTV (high-temperature vulcanizing) silicone rubber. The terms are used interchangeably in the silicone elastomer industry.
HCR materials are suitable for extrusion, injection molding, compression molding, transfer molding, and calendaring.
Peroxide cured HCRs are widely used for general industrial applications, while platinum-cured HCRs are preferred when low byproducts, clarity, or regulatory compliance are required.
Yes. Momentive offers both base materials and ready-to-use HCR compounds to support different processing preferences and production requirements.
Typical applications include tubing, seals, gaskets, appliance profiles, oven door gaskets, and other high-performance elastomer components.
Material selection depends on processing methods, cure chemistry, mechanical requirements, regulatory needs, and endues environment. Momentive offers multiple HCR families address these considerations.
As a premier global high-performance Silicones and specialities company, Momentive creates solutions that improve the quality of life for people and enable a more sustainable future.
