Additive Manufacturing Material Revolution

SilGen Additive

Nanomaterial masterbatch in a Silicone resin

Mechanical Property Improvements

  • Improve Tensile Strength without sacrificing the elongation of your Silicone resins by formulating with SilGen (1-2 wt. %). 
  • High filler loading in Silicones helps achieve mechanical properties at the cost of elongation and processability. SilGen helps improvement in tensile and tear strengths without reducing elongation by using our well-dispersed nanomaterials.

Conductive Property Enhancements

  • SilGen additive enable ultra low dosage levels starting with 0.5 wt.% (actual conductive nano particle loading levels starting from 0.005 wt.%) to achieve conductive properties
  • Supports vibrant colors with superior ESD properties
  • Greater optical clarity enable UV curing
  • Significant reduction of other filler loading levels in hybrid filler systems
  • Significant microwave absorption supports microwave and induction curing
  • Uniform dispersion and distribution of fillers eliminate hotspots
  • Glossy surface without significant viscosity and density increase
  • Maintain and even improve mechanical strength
