The third international conference on silicone elastomers informed the length and breadth of the silicone elastomers supply chain on current research developments and new applications. The application areas of silicone elastomers are widespread due to their wide spectrum of high performance qualities; temperature stability, electrical resistance, chemical inertia and high biocompatibility. Medical, healthcare, food, automotive, electrical, electronic and domestic appliance industries all require silicone elastomer blends that meet individual criteria.

Organisations that work with fluorosilicone, silicone composites, thermoplastic silicones, bonding agents, epoxy silicone blends, carbon nanotubes, medical grade silicones, extrusion, mixing or fine mesh straining will all benefit from these proceedings. The conference informed delegates on silicone elastomer market trends, materials, applications, testing, additives, fillers, and processing.
