Health Care Automotive Silicone Rubber Energy

Silicone elastomers for

the fabrication of rubber

parts, for example

medical tubing, seals and

gaskets, masks or valves

Fabrication of rubber

parts or textile coatings

for automotive

applications and the

transportation industry

Rubber parts for various

applications, for example

household, sports,

fashion, construction or

machinery

Silicone elastomers for

the transmission &

distribution of energy

and for cable

applications

* HCR = high consistency rubber ** LSR = liquid silicone rubber


Digitalization

Electrification

� Simplification of assembling requires

self-adhesiveness

� Increasing requirements for electro-

magnetic field shielding and

mechanical damping require higher

degree of product customization

� Self-driving cars: protection of

electronic devices such as collision

avoidance systems are feasible with

silicones

� Electric mobility: alternative drive

systems require silicone rubber

Automotive

Megatrends Push Material Selection towards Silicone Elastomers

Downsizing

Downsizing

� Organic replacement due to more

challenging requirements

(temperature, media)

� Improved heat resistance needed

� Reduced weight per part

(shorter turbocharger hoses)

� High precision parts

(LSR, 2-component molding)

Regulations

� Euro 6 standard (2015)

Safety & Comfort

Vibration control

� Additional vibration damping required

Automotive Lighting

� Smart lighting solutions

Automotive Electronics

� Cockpit displays

� Micro-electromechanical

microphones (MEMS)

Quality

� ‘0 ppm strategy’ of OEMs

� Maximum degree of automation


Challenge

Touchscreens

Production of Large Displays and Electronic Devices with Liquid Silicone Gels

Solution: LUMISIL® 202 UV

� Stable transparency and tackiness

� Portfolio with UV and thermal curing grades

� No shrinkage during and after curing

Challenge

Health Care

Silicones will Replace Existing Solutions and Show above Average Growth

Solution: SILPURAN® 2117

� Tacky silicone gel is biocompatible, hydrophobic and

breathable

� Less trauma, less pain, more quality of life

� Atraumatic dressing change, no pain for patient

� Modern wound dressings require enhanced properties for

pain-free dressing change in order to minimizing trauma

and stress

� Replacement of traditional acrylate-system where these

show certain limits (e.g. open wounds)

Growth of Advanced Wound Care Market*

Increase in chronic wounds per year (2011-2021)

driven by

Rising need for silicone wound dressing
