Silicone is a type of synthetic rubber material commonly used in different sectors such as manufacturing for medical and electronics sectors for its flexibility, high-performance, and distinctive hygienic nature. Take a look at what makes silicone fitting for different applications.

Advantages

• Resistance to high & low temperature: Silicone can withstand temperature ranging from – 60°C a + 230°C, allowing the material to be used in different environment and setting
• Great stability: Silicone will retain its structure even when exposed to UV radiation or open flames, making silicon a reliable material for use in critical applications
• Simple maintenance: Silicone is water repelling and microbial resistance, while capable in enduring disinfectant, and can even be cleaned in dishwasher
• Non-responsive to most corrosive chemicals: Silicone will not degrade or decompose even when encountering biological agents with its chemically inert nature
• Non-conductive: Silicone exhibits electrical insulation properties, while being adhesive to metals during molding and extrusion processes, making it ideal for manufacturing different electronic components
• BPA free: Containing no Bisphenol A, silicone is non-toxic and safe for all, including children and pets
• Easily molded: Silicone can be shaped into the most detailed and specific forms, for manufacturing high precision equipment
• Elasticity & durable: With high tensile strength, silicone will regain its shape even if repeatedly or extendedly bent or being under pressure
• Odorless: Silicone does not release odor, making it ideal as food or medical grade container
• Aesthetically pleasing: Silicone can be manufactured in a variety of forms with lasting, vivid color for great product appearance

Possible Application

• Home and kitchen utensils: Products manufactured with food grade silicone will comply with FDA requirement with its non-porous nature, making the material resistant to bacterial build-up and excellent as sealant
• Pharmaceutical and medical devices: Silicone is commonly used in the medical industry with its property in withstanding temperatures, chemicals, and radiation for sterilization, and with its easily maintained nature
• Electronics: As an electric insulating material, while conforming to needs of nearly any electronic application, silicone is ideal for production in a broad range of products
