WEVO-CHEMIE GmbH introduces WEVOSIL 23010 and WEVOSIL 23030, two new liquid silicone rubbers (LSRs) specially developed for silicone textile coatings and sealing applications (CIPG/FIPG). Both systems combine excellent processability with high elasticity, temperature resistance and adhesion. They open up new possibilities for precise and automated manufacturing processes using dispensing on textiles, plastics and metals.

At this year’s COMPAMED medical technology trade show, WACKER presents innovative silicone products for medical and therapeutic applications. One of the booth highlights is the company’s first biomethanol-based silicone gel SILPURAN® eco 2114. The adhesive enables the skin-friendly fixation of wound dressings, plasters, wearables and sensors. WACKER also presents its newest findings regarding silicone adhesives for transdermal patches. The study examines several delivery profiles and customization options. Also, visitors shouldn’t miss WACKER’s silicone elastomer exhibits ELASTOSIL® R plus 4360 and ELASTOSIL® R plus 4366. These silicone rubber grades set standards in the manufacture of profiles, support parts and pharma tubing

Gummiwerk KRAIBURG GmbH & Co. KG offers a series of high-performance silicone compounds in its product portfolio: KRAIBURG VMQ. Developed specifically for demanding applications, these materials combine reliable performance with versatility and economic efficiency – the ideal solution when standard products must perform without compromise.

Freudenberg Sealing Technologies manufactures its Micro Seals from highly resistant elastomers such as FKM, FFKM and EPDM. These materials offer specific advantages depending on their application. FKM excels with strong chemical resistance and temperature stability up to 200 °C, which makes it an especially good choice for environments with aggressive media. FFKM offers extremely high chemical resistance and can reliably withstand temperatures up to 230 °C – an ideal material for the most demanding applications. EPDM, in turn, is particularly resistant to ozone, UV radiation and hot water and is well-suited for environments with high humidity or steam.

Wevo has unveiled three new silicone-based potting compounds designed to meet the growing demands of modern electronic components. The WEVOSIL 22106 FL, 22102 FL, and 22105 FL compounds offer a unique combination of supersoft consistency, thermal conductivity, and mechanical resilience, making them ideal for sensitive and thermally demanding applications.
