Liquid Silicone Rubber Processing Capabilities

About Silicone:Matched to the needs of life sciences, silicone is a premier elastomer material with unique and advanced attributes. For medical applications, its matchless inertness and biocompatibility makes it the most suitable elastomer when considering potential bacteria growth and alleviating contamination. It is also the most widely tested and proven material related to human compatibility. In addition, silicone‘s mechanical properties prove to be excellent in dynamic applications where accuracy, consistency and longevity are important performance determining factors.

Markets Served:•Lifesciences•Babycare•Food&beverage•Sanitaryindustry•Appliances
