Silicone Elastomers (SE 30) Summary

Description: Polymers of silicone that are formed by crosslinking and treatment with amorphous silica to increase strength. They have properties similar to vulcanized natural rubber, in that they stretch under tension, retract rapidly, and fully recover to their original dimensions upon release. They are used in the encapsulation of surgical membranes and implants.

Also Known As: SE 30; Silicone Rubber; SE30; Silicone Elastomer; Elastosil Show All >>
