Silicon - Import export

Solid silicone (HTV) is physiologically inert and may be used universally. "Solid" turns out to mean highly elastic – solid silicone is an auto-curing single component silicone caoutchouc. It is supplied in bales, blocks or strips and has good material properties. A summary of the most important properties: Shore A hardness ranging from 30 to 80 Seven standard colors are available, liquid silicone may be dyed at any color. starlim//sterner has defined seven standard colors for solid silicone. Temperature resistance: long-term (entire life-span of product) within the range from -50°C to 180°C and short interval 300°C (depending on the material: several hours). High temperature flexibility, solid silicone stays elastic even if temperatures vary greatly High level of extensibility (up to 1000%) High tear resistance and high value of compression set Good ozone and UV resistance which translates into good weathering properties and ageing resistance Low inflammability, flash point at 750

Liquid-silicone – the material processed by starlim//sterner on over 200 injection molding machines is a multi-facetted material. Good properties and steady improvements allow for a big range of applications for liquid silicone. It has become an indispensible material for many components used in daily life. A summary of the most salient features: Shore A hardness ranging from 5 to 85 Seven standard colors are available, liquid silicone may be dyed at any color. starlim//sterner has defined seven standard colors from the whole range. Temperature resistance: long-term (entire life-span of product) within the range from -50°C to 180°C and short interval 300°C (depending on the material: several hours). Remains flexible at low temperatures. Liquid silicone remains elastic despite big differences in temperature High level of extensibility (up to 1000%) High tear resistance and high value of compression set Good ozone and UV resistance which translates into good weathering properties and

starlim//sterner specializes in the processing of silicone. Only high-temperature-curing and addition-curing silicone types (HCR) are being used. Examples Liquid silicone (LSR) Oil-bleeding liquid silicone (LSR) Solid silicone (HCR) Fluorine-solid-silicone (FSR) Fluorine-liquid-silicone (FSL) We mainly use material supplied by: Wacker Chemie AG, Munich/Germany Momentive Performance Materials GmbH, Leverkusen/ Germany Biesterfeld Interowa GmbH & Co KG, Vienna/Austria Implants: starlim//sterner makes no long-term implants. starlim//sterner manufactures short-term implants that do not remain longer inside the human body than 30 days (medical products class IIa).
