Elastomers

Advanced Silicone Elastomers: Transforming Industrial Solutions

Momentive’s innovative portfolio of silicone elastomers has significantly influenced the design of numerous applications across a wide range of industries. These versatile materials are renowned for their exceptional properties, such as flexibility, durability, heat and moisture resistance, flame retardancy, weatherability, and dielectric properties over a wide temperature range.

Momentive offers a broad portfolio of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and high consistency rubber (HCR) products. Ready-To-Use Compounds can also be supplied and developed, via global custom elastomer facilities, matching the specific needs of the customers’ fabrication equipment and processes in addition to meeting specific packaging needs which assists in minimizing handling within their facilities.

Selectable Features for Dedicated Applications:

  • Biocompatibility: Safe for medical and food contact applications.
  • Self-lubricating: Reduces friction, making it useful in applications requiring smooth, consistent movement.
  • Self-bonding: Capable of direct bonding to substrates without additional primer processes.
  • Electrically conductive: Can be formulated to conduct electricity, useful for applications requiring antistatic properties or flexible electronics.
  • Flame retardancy: Extra grades do meet UL94 V0 flammability standard.
  • Thermal conductivity: Enables thermal management as of increased thermal conductivity.
