elastomers are important materials for many application areas such as
automotive, electric and electronics, gaskets, domestic appliances,
fabric coatings (e.g. airbags), baby bottle teats, and medical devices.
They are increasingly being used to substitute for organic rubbers,
because of their advantageous properties, such as high and low
temperature stability, inertness (no smell or taste), low toxicity,
colorability and transparency, combined with good electrical properties.
The hardness range is wide, from 10-80 Shore A. Silicones have been in use in medical applications for over 30 years
because of their long-term stability and biocompatibility. High gas
permeability is a positive property in many medical devices; silicones
have up to 400 times the permeability of butyl rubber at room
temperature. They are also used in cosmetic applications, where their
colorability and sensory properties are important (a soft, skin-like
touch and appearance can be achieved). This conference aims to cover the whole range of silicone elastomers
including room temperature vulcanised (RTV), high temperature vulcanised
(HTV) and liquid silicone rubbers (LSR). September
