Sil-X-Shin silicone elastomers are specifically engineered for extruded tubing for healthcare, beverage and architectural glazing applications. The elastomers are available in a wide range of Shore A hardness (from 30 to 80 on the Shore A scale), and come in a 10:1 ratio of base compound to catalyst. A unique advantage of the Sil-X-Shin product line is that one universal catalyst can be used with each of the six base compounds in the series. Sil-X-Shin silcone elastomers are USP Class VI compliant and their platinum, addition-cure chemistry produces a tight surface finish with few residual byproducts. — Shin-Etsu Silicones America, Akron, Ohio
