Elkem Silicones wins 2025 Ringier Technology Innovation Award for solving NEV sealing challenges

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.
