Read MoreAt 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
Read MoreGummiwerk 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.
Read MoreElkem ASA announces another silicone circularity breakthrough: the successful validation of a proof of concept for an innovative mechanical recycling process for High Consistency Rubbers (HCR).
The innovation enables the recycling of crosslinked HCR waste and the reintroduction of the recycled material into new formulations. With re-incorporation rates exceeding 50% and excellent mechanical properties of the resulting material, Elkem demonstrates how advanced material engineering can unlock scalable circular approaches for high-performance silicone elastomers that help reduce waste and carbon footprint, while meeting growing market demand for circular elastomer solutions.
Read MoreFreudenberg 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.
