Munich-based chemical Group WACKER will be exhibiting a selection of its specially formulated silicone products for the adhesives and sealants industry at BONDexpo 2009. The focus will be on the new SEMICOSIL® UV. This is a room-temperature-curing silicone rubber which only crosslinks after irradiation with UV light.
Wacker Chemie AG bestowed its annual “Alexander Wacker Innovation Award” on Dr. Philipp Müller yesterday for his development of a new class of high-performance optical silicones. Uniquely, these novel silicone elastomers allow optical lenses for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to be produced directly on an LED chip.
Surgical adhesives, which can be used to seal tissues after an operation or to repair wounds, are becoming increasingly important parts of a doctor's toolkit. However, their one-size-fits-all nature means that existing adhesives, or glues, work well in some cases but not in others.
Today Dow Corning Corporation’s Electronics group introduced its newest silicone encapsulant, Dow Corning® OE-6636, designed for overmolding (compression molding) and dispensing processes.
United Case™, a UFP Technologies brand, introduces foam drawer liners for Pelican™ Product's 0450 Mobile Tool Chest. United Case's Case Fit™ Drawer Liner product line consists of two specialty foam sets for the 0450 case. The foam sets are intended for storing tools and for practicing tool accountability.
A group of researchers at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CIN2), belonging to the Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) located at the UAB Research Park, and the UAB Department of Chemistry have developed and patented a method which obtains minute organometallic capsules ranging from micrometric to nanometric sizes.
This year’s €10,000 WACKER Silicone Award was presented today to Professor Ulrich Schubert, who holds the Vienna University of Technology’s chair of inorganic chemistry. Dr. Rudolf Staudigl, President and CEO of Wacker Chemie AG, said that Schubert had been chosen because of his trail-blazing work on metal-silicon complexes and his materials science studies such as the sol-gel process.
Tooth-colored fillings may be more attractive than silver ones, but the bonds between the white filling and the tooth quickly age and degrade. A Medical College of Georgia researcher hopes a new nanotechnology technique will extend the fillings' longevity.
Master Bond adds a significant strength advantage to a new UV adhesive compound combining high strength bonds with the well established benefits of UV cure namely; high productivity, improved performance and environmental compliance. Master Bond UV10TK40 is a modified epoxy adhesive offering a unique tensile strength of 8300 psi and a shore D hardness greater than 75, forming high surface hardness.
The XIAMETER® web-enabled marketplace from Dow Corning launched today an expanded business model and new website to provide more products, better functionality, and an easier method to order silicone-based products.
