Elkem Silicones recently won the 2025 Ringier Technology Innovation Award for the plastics industry for the third consecutive year with its innovative liquid silicone rubber material, BLUESIL™ LSR 3935. The award recognized the product’s exceptional performance in three key areas: technological innovation, industry impact, and market success, further solidifying Elkem Silicones’ leadership in silicone material innovation.

The product addresses the technical challenge of sealing in high-voltage connectors for new energy vehicles (NEVs), providing a novel solution for the industry through the breakthrough in materials science. As the global NEV industry evolves rapidly, there is a growing demand for connectors that deliver excellent heat resistance and long-lasting waterproof sealing performance. Traditional sealing materials tend to degrade under the complex, high-stress operating conditions, leading to seal failure—a major bottleneck hindering industry development.

The BLUESIL™ LSR 3935 series of advanced liquid silicone rubber offers three key advantages: a self-lubricating surface, excellent resistance to compression set, and outstanding thermal stability. Even under high temperatures, it maintains reliable long-term sealing for high-voltage connectors, providing a solid foundation for the safe operation of new energy vehicles. The product line also offers a wide range of material options, from soft cushioning to rigid support, to meet the diverse design and assembly needs of NEV manufacturers.
