Why Choose LSR Material for Baby Products
Part of the reason LSR materials are so widely used is that they have a variety of benefits applicable to many products. The unique chemical structure of LSR offers an array of characteristics that help prevent bottles from harboring bacteria, nipple protectors from irritating the skin and pacifiers from deforming in the dishwasher, among other useful qualities:
· Biocompatible: LSR is compatible with the body and an ideal choice for parts with prolonged human contact.
· Hypoallergenic: LSR is also hypoallergenic, it will not cause skin irritation. Many products in the life sciences industry, particularly mother and child care products see extensive human contact.
· Hygienic: Many mother and child care parts do not necessarily require production in an environmentally-controlled or a clean room environment, however a clean, highly-automated manufacturing process with minimal human touch is important and contributes positively to the overall hygiene of the part.
· Tasteless and odorless: Using tasteless and odorless materials is essential when designing parts such as bottle teats and sippy cups. A bad smell or taste can easily prevent a baby from accepting the food or medicine fed.
