SilikonDos

SilikonDos is a brand of liquid silicone rubber manufactured by Dow Corning, now part of Dow. It is a versatile material used in a wide range of applications, primarily in molding, encapsulation, and sealing. The product line encompasses various formulations, each tailored for specific properties such as hardness, flexibility, heat resistance, and electrical insulation. SilikonDos is known for its good release characteristics, allowing for easy demolding of intricate parts. It is also recognized for its durability and resistance to environmental factors like moisture and chemicals.

The primary applications for SilikonDos include the manufacturing of seals, gaskets, and O-rings, particularly in industries requiring high performance and longevity. It is also widely used in electronics for encapsulating sensitive components, providing protection from shock, vibration, and environmental contaminants. In the medical field, specific grades of SilikonDos are employed for producing medical devices and components due to their biocompatibility and sterilizability. The material's ease of processing, often through techniques like injection molding or casting, contributes to its popularity across diverse manufacturing sectors. Different formulations offer a spectrum of curing speeds and viscosities, enabling manufacturers to select the optimal product for their specific production processes and end-use requirements.
