Chemical group, will launch a new variable hardness silicone rubber orthopedic and prosthetic applications this year's MEDTEC Europe. SILPURAN®2410 A / B, addition curing silicone, by changing the mixing ratio of the two components it made a series of hard or too soft at Shaw. This gives manufacturers the flexibility to adjust the process, the hardness of the elastomer. SILPURAN®2410 A / B itself is soft and elastic orthopedic products such as insoles, heel cushions and truss pad. MEDTEC Europe will be held February 26 - 28 May, 2013, held in Stuttgart, Germany. SILPURAN® 2410 consists of two parts, A and B, which is usually 1: 1 mixing ratio. The resulting ratio of the silicone elastomer has a Shore 00 hardness of 50 (according to ASTM 2240, type 00). However, the hardness of the elastomer may be in a certain range by changing the mixing ratio. Thus, a higher proportion of the component B, will have a harder resilient overall, while a higher proportion of component A will produce a soft elastomer, such flexibility, particularly small-volume manufacturers benefit. The previously required many different grades of silicon shares, if they want to make different hardness of products, they now have SILPURAN®2410 of A / B products, its hardness can flexibly adjust their use. Thus, a single silicon feedstock to meet different specifications. This is not only efficient, but it is also different silicone raw materials, the need to cut the number of stocking, save money, and more importantly, all SILPURAN®2410 A / B elastomer can be freely combined with each other and deal with. This also applies to the elastic
Different Shore hardness values bodies. Thus, you can create it more difficult in the front rather than the back (or vice versa) orthopedic products, casting layer, for example SILPURAN®2410 A / B has a low viscosity and pouring, which is suitable for manual and semi-automated processes. At elevated temperatures rapidly crosslinking, and no byproducts released. SILPURAN®2410 A / B cured elastomeric, translucent elastomer. It is breathable and skin compatible. It has good shock absorption performance, and applying gentle compression. Candidate applications ranging from insoles and heel pads truss pad, orthotic and prosthetic liner. SILPURAN® series, SILPURAN®2410 all products in the same A / B is free of organic plasticizer and stabilizer, and has been selected by the biocompatibility test according to ISO 10993 and USP Class VI. According to Wacker own cleaning operation standards, the production of the product to be filled and packaged in clean room conditions. Access Wacker MEDTEC Europe 2013,1 Hall, booth I02. Munich-based chemical Group WACKER is unveiling SILPURAN®2410Å / B silicone rubber at MEDTEC Europe. Durometer silicone can be varied by changing the relative part of orthopedic and prosthetic equipment manufacturers the advantages of A and B two components, mixing comprises greater flexibility and lower production cost ratio.
