SILICONE AS A MATERIAL
As a material, silicone is ideal for a wide variety of uses thanks to its excellent properties and non-toxicity.
Benefits of use
Saving time in production
easy handling, color separation of individual parts and shorter subsequent processing.
Reduced production costs
reusability and reduced time-consuming production processes.
Higher quality of the final product
The stable properties of silicone contribute to a more accurate, reliable and high-quality result.
Use without adhesives and additional cleaning
there is no need to use adhesives or clean the threads, which simplifies the entire workflow.
Long-term electrical insulation stability
silicone retains its insulating properties, thereby increasing the reliability and durability of the resulting product.
Silicone - a material with exceptional properties for demanding applications
Silicone rubber in its liquid form is a synthetically produced mixture created by crosslinking polysiloxanes. The basis of all silicone rubbers is silicon. We use two-component liquid silicone rubber (LSR) of the highest quality.
The rubber is supplied in two components A and B, which are ready to use. After mixing the components, the mixture is cold injected into molds and vulcanized at high temperatures. Vulcanization turns this mixture into a silicone product with an excellent combination of properties and a wide range of applications. It is also possible to combine other materials with silicone (stainless steel, polycarbonate, plastics, textiles, etc.).

Uses of Silicone Products
People commonly encounter silicone in their daily lives without recognizing it. LSR products are destined for a wide range of applications with unlimited possibilities due to their specific properties:
Automotive Industry
In the automotive industry, silicone is mainly used for sealing engine parts, protecting electrical installations, and as a durable material for flexible hoses and interior elements.
Surface Treatment Industry
In the surface treatment industry, silicone is used to mask parts before painting, as a lubricant in coatings, and to provide hydrophobic protection to final surfaces.
Mechanical Engineering
In mechanical engineering, silicone is used for temperature-resistant seals, vibration damping of machines, and as a protective potting sleeve for mechanically stressed components.
Electronics, Electrical Engineering
In electronics and electrical engineering, silicone is used to pot sensitive circuits, insulate high-voltage cables, and as a thermal paste for cooling components.
Food Industry
In the food industry, silicone is used for safe machine seals, flexible baking molds, and as a lubricant for lines that come into direct contact with food.
Healthcare, Biotechnology
In medicine and biotechnology, silicone is used for biocompatible implants, flexible catheters, and as a safe material for laboratory tubing and components.
