Goodyear Rubber Company of So. California Silicone rubber is an elastomer different from other rubbers in that it has an inorganic backbone made of silicon and oxygen atoms. Organic rubbers have a carbon-carbon chain atomic structure. The outstanding physical property of silicone is its’ retention of flexibility and tensile strength at relatively high and low temperatures, from -150 F to 600 F. Silicones are very flexible due to large bond angles and bond lengths compared to basic organic polymers. Silicone rubber is a material of choice where retention of shape and mechanical strength are desired under heavy thermal stress or sub-zero temperatures. Silicone rubber is highly inert and does not react with most chemicals and due to its structural properties, it is widely used in aircraft engine parts, door and window sealing parts, healthcare and medical applications including implants.

Polynt Group 32X series are barriers type coatings developed for the composites and fiberglass industry. The 32X series have been formulated to reduce osmotic blistering, and as a print blockers, to provide a smoother gelcoat finish. This barrier coat was primarily developed for parts that are in conditions with prolonged contact with water and reduce the risk of water blistering. The 32X barrier coat are formulated to result with a fast cure, sagging resistant and ready-tospray after the addition of the proper amount of appropriate methyl ethyl ketone peroxide catalyst. Normally, dark Colors help to detect and eliminate air bubbles. However, it also can affect the quality of the final product. Contact you representative to have more details on Colors available. Because these 32X series barrier coat are formulated with special additives they have a fair resistance to UV and are not recommended for direct sunlight exposure. It would result in rapid chalking and fading.

Da/Pro Rubber Medical Grade Silicone is a level of testing done on silicone materials. Some tests performed to classify medical grade silicone are USP class VI biological testing, histopathology, intramuscular implantation, and tissue cell-culture testing. Other testing could include skin sensitization, pyrogenicity, and hemolysis, although not all tests may be conducted to qualify the material as medical grade silicone. Dow Corning uses the term medical grade which has become widely accepted industry practice. Other testing of medical grade silicone is performed to determine compatibility with human implantation.

PI Glide™ Custom Coating is a group of high performing polymers known for their exceptional chemical, thermal, and mechanical performance properties. These materials demonstrate exceptional thermal stability in high and low temperatures and are extremely flame resistant. PI Glide™, our PI / PTFE composite, is a high lubricity polyimide blend for applications that require lower surface friction yet do not require the performance of pure PTFE. PI Glide™ maintains broad chemical resistance and good dielectric properties in addition to its reduced coefficient of friction. PI Glide™ is available in tubing and as a coating for over-the-wire (OTW, insulated wire) applications. For insulated wire, PI Glide™ provides a low-friction wire for easier deployment or insertion into tubing. With PI Glide™ tubing, inside diameters offer low resistance to inserted devices or tools (pushability) while the outside remains bondable without etching. PI Glide™ can also be produced in a layered composite construction with our conventional polyimide or with PI Glide™ alone. Composite layering polyimide and PI Glide™ allows users to further tailor polyimide tubing or coating properties.
