Read MoreThe global Silicone Resins Market size is expected to grow from USD 4.8 billion in 2021 to USD 6.3 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. The driving factors for the silicone resins market is increased involvement of silicone resins in the industrial segment, and the building & construction, automotive & transportation, and electronic industries in emerging economies. This driving factor is boosting the demand for silicone resins industries.
Read MoreThe successful design of medical device components is increasingly dependent on simulations based on finite element analysis (FEA). Simulations provide a rapid and cost-effective way to determine optimal construction of multi-component systems, as well as information on how components interact with each other during use. Investing in accurate, early design simulations can provide significant resource savings by decreasing the amount of iterative loops necessary in the prototype process to validate the overall device design for FDA or other governing body approvals.
Read MoreWith global annual production of silicone expected to grow to 2.9 million tons by 2025, it is increasingly important to have an environmentally-friendly end-of-life option for silicone products. The current solution for discarding silicone scrap is to either landfill or incinerate it. Both of these are detrimental choices for the environment.
